Manga Mondays is hosted by Alison Can Read 

Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan

by 

"I have something I don't want to lose"

"So much so that these terrible feelings have grown."


A pianist who attempted suicide 3 times, Juri, is taken to help her aunt at a prison where murderers who killed indiscriminately are sentenced to death. There, she meets a man named Yuu who took the lives of 3 people. A mother's antagonism--a brother's death... Together they embrace the violent rebellion in their hearts caused by the large, deep scars they carry. However, before long, they both embrace an earnest hope in their hearts. "I want to live"...


An adaptation of novel by South Korea's most popular female novelist, Gong Ji-Young.

READY YOUR TISSUE BOX. IT IS GOING TO BE A CRYING FEST! I think this was like The Fault in Our Stars for many others. Maybe if I felt that book, I would cry like this.

Juri's life is dark, lonely and painful. With a mother who wishes Juri was never born, while things can't get any better, right?


Juri has attempted to commit suicide 3 times. And every day was a burden. #3987, Yuu, has a lot of similarities as Juri. Both painted with a past, a darkness, a death.

Manga Mondays (1): Super Lovers Vol 1 by Miyuki Abe

Manga Mondays is hosted by Alison Can Read
Haru visits Canada to spend the summer holidays in the woodland house of his strict, strong-willed mother, Haruko. There, she burdens him with the responsibility of caring for his younger adoptive brother - a wild and unruly little boy named Ren who trusts no-one and prefers to wander in the woods with Haruko's dogs rather than associate other people. Haruko orders Haru to 'civilize' Ren.
As the young man strives to teach Ren how to live in human society, their relationship gradually improves - so much so that Haru plans on taking his 'little brother' to Japan with him once he finds a job.

Unfortunately, fate has a cruel habit of interfering with one's plans...

18+ MATURE MANGA!  :O

I am soooo glad I found this meme! OMG ALISON I LOVE YOUUUU~ Okay so for my first Manga Monday I am doing an yaoi*...and it is kind of dedicated to Gianne (ily guurrlliiee), who totally got me into reading yaoi. We were just talking about this manga on twitter and totally going cray cray so yeah...my review. PS: It might just include tons of fangirling jibberish instead of coherend words.

*Yaoi, also known as Boys' Love, is a Japanese popular term for female-oriented fictional media that focus on homoerotic or homoromantic male androphilic sexual relationships, usually created by female authors.
