Okay, Love After World Domination, Vol. 1 is a seriously funny and cute series. You'll probably enjoy this series if you love forbidden romances with a sense of humor and an overall light touch! Given how many dark series are out there, I appreciated this lighter read.
The Girl, the Shovel, and the Evil Eye, Vol. 1 begins like many other Isekai/reincarnation stories – with a sad background followed almost immediately by death. That bit really shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone, though it did a good job of quickly setting the tone.
Kiichiro Hayase is extremely wealthy and successful, but he wouldn't survive a day without his maid, Miss Kishi. The truth is that he is an exceptional klutz, so his maid must follow him around and clean up after him. It's a perpetual problem.
Oh wow. I went into My Wonderful World, Vol. 1, not knowing anything about it (I like the occasional surprise, so going in knowing nothing can be fun), and wow! I was blown away. Poor Shinobu. It's easy to empathize with this protagonist and all of his struggles.

Some versions of Beauty and the Beast show a darker side of humanity. This is one such story. Belle has spent most of her life hidden away by her father, who blames her violet hair as reason enough to keep her away from the rest of society. But it has always felt like there was a darker reason for her isolation.
Ryo has known for most of his life that he's transgender. However, life can be challenging when you have nobody you can talk to, especially about such an integral part of who you are. This is made all the more challenging by his crush on his best friend.
The Witch and the Beast, Vol. 1, is a dark story involving two protagonists, Guideau and Ashaf. Guideau has a vendetta against witches – to put it lightly. As you might have guessed, is heavily associated with magic. Together, these two are about to go hunting witches. Specifically, one witch. She's taken over a town, and they intend to liberate it.
Time to dive into a new fantasy manga! The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World, Vol. 1, is the first in a brand new series created by Norihito Sasaki. This latest series leans heavily into the Shonen/magic world and has a lot of potential.
Has anybody else been searching for a sweet new romantic manga to dive into? My latest search brought me to Lightning and Romance, Vol. 1, written and illustrated by Rin Mikimoto (the creator who brought readers Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight and Kira-Kun Today).
