The problem with having a FL is that most authors think that women are timid or something. This makes them write the FL as so. That makes the book pretty garbage because I hate that in some novels the FL lets themselves be walked all over. It's displeasing. I'd rather not read that. On the off chance the FL is strong, it's a face-slapping novel. I've grown out of those so long ago and would not like to go back.
The best FL (with story to match) are only found in romance novels which may not be everyone's cup of tea.
There's something unique about these stories that I can't help but admire. Beyond the magical elements in one tale and the supernatural eeriness in another, the manga-ka skillfully infuses emotions into the characters. Despite the ostensibly 'dark' atmosphere, given the cast of witches, vampires, and ghosts, these creatures are depicted as capable of love, sacrifice, and heartbreak.
I appreciate how the characters ultimately achieve a sense of happiness and fulfillment, even with an underlying tone of bittersweet sadness. Honestly, I believe this melancholy adds depth to the narrative. There's a hint of pain, yet the smiles remain unwavering.
The Forest of Memories and Midsummer's Silver Dream may appear 'disturbing,' but they compel readers to reflect on the characters' choices and conclusions.
The art was visually appealing, but the stories just weren't *nice*. And that's what I tend to prefer. If you're into romance with a bittersweet twist or a hint of melancholy, this short story collection might be right up your alley.
The stories, despite their brevity, felt complete. Likewise, the characters were fairly well-developed—I just didn't care for them!

This is not your typical manga.
