SHOTS FIRED

I believe the standout feature of Yumeka Sumomo's one-shots is their simplicity, as they portray everyday life events with a great deal of style. Her work can generally be described as "suggestive." This manga fits that description perfectly. With the exception of the last story, which takes a darker turn, the one-shots in this volume are delightful love stories.

The second story is categorized as shounen-ai, while the rest are labeled as shoujo. Although some characters are high school teenagers, neither the plots nor the art conform to typical shoujo tropes. Yumeka Sumomo's plots and characters are very realistic and relatable. There's no melodrama, no weepy girls, no seductive or rebellious princes. The characters aren't pop stars, idols, sports aces, or wealthy heirs. They're just like the boy or girl sitting next to you in class. Yet, they're far from boring; they're intriguing characters.

All four stories exude a mature vibe, likely due to the mature art style: realistic, simple, and clean. Additionally, despite the simplicity of the stories, Yumeka Sumomo draws readers into the minds of her characters. Her stories are introspective.

Absolutely worth reading.

My top 3 would be:
- (as Pigeon said) HP: Arcane theif [Harry Potter ff]
- A magical journey [Harry Potter ff]
- Reborn in the Naruto world with Tenseigan [Naruto ff] 😘👌
