I don't remember much about this Manga because it only had a few chapters just like 3 when I read it and did so on Mangakakalot.

It starts with a Dark hair and dark skinned girl trying to hide her identity and she has a friend they meet in a Bar or something for a mission her friend is Blonde maybe just based on perspective in black in white or there might have been a colored panel. They be lesbians together no idea.

There is another guy he is a Priest/Crusader or something and is a Combatant and is Descendant from a long line of them basically like Witchers and he might be the only one left. He's strong and the three of them meet up for a mission.

On the mission there is a strong monster and the Priest guy couldn't handle it well and the Blonde girl was injured so the Dark Haired Dark skinned girl gets angry and has to step in she has seals on both her arms because of her immense power then undoes them and beats the monster.

She has a master who is strong and might be dead now don't remember he sealed her power and taught her.

Like I said it was only 3 Chapters at the time I read it so I don't know more details.

I read it 2022-2024 which could be when it released or just the translation.

This includes some digital-only titles alongside physically published titles

Red River Episode 15: False Ishtar

A decent episode. This one didn’t match the highs of episode 14, but that is a tough act to follow. While the pacing moved quicker this episode I didn’t mind as much. Yuri was bedridden for some time and things happened. Yuri’s narration is her getting caught up to the current situation. 

Kail is having a tough time of it to say the least. His closest brother is dead, Yuri nearly died, and his father fell ill. The relationship between Kail and his father hasn’t been explored that much, but it’s clear that he does care for his father. King Suppililiuma cared for Kail. He didn’t mind Kail’s playboy lifestyle and vested a great deal of power to Kail when he’s not the crown prince. Kail seeking some comfort from Yuri about his father was a sweet moment between the two. Yuri shows a great deal of empathy for Kail and attempts to reassure him that his father will recover only for the news to break that Suppililiuma has died. Kail lets his guard down completely and asks Yuri for a moment so he can pull himself together. 

This is a great demonstration of Yuri’s empathy. Yuri has a very thin relationship with Suppililiuma. Remember that at the beginning of the series Suppililiuma was more than willing to let Yuri be sacrificed. His opinion of Yuri only began to change when she started proving useful. Yuri obtained the loyalty of an ironworking clan for the Hittites, provided a cover story so Suppililiuma didn’t have to punish his sons for the abduction scandal, and proved a rallying symbol for the Mittani war. 

It doesn’t look like Ramses is going anywhere. He is a very shrewd man. He sees that Kail is the most likely one to succeed the throne of the HIttite Empire, so is currying favor with Yuri. That is clearly a ruse after he gives Yuri a peck on the cheek and says he’ll be back for more. Yuri understandably doesn’t take kindly to this. 

Nakia’s next plot begins to unfold. She is attempting to smear the image of Ishtar and by association Kail. Kail kept this from Yuri because she did nearly die and will attend to that issue once other concerns are addressed. Ramses sees this as an opportunity to try and gain some of Yuri’s trust back and reveals the scheme to Yuri. It’s also a way for Ramses to see if what Yuri pulled off with the arrow was just by chance or skill. 

Yuri kept a level head when she saw the false Ishtar managed to get into the palace, and then blew it when the false Ishtar started dragging Kail’s name through the mud. Yuri has learned a lot and is carrying herself much better, but she’s only human and seeing others being mistreated and/or slandered is a trigger for her. 

Her banishment to the valley with the ill was a nice touch. They clearly expected her to catch the disease and die. Yuri’s health was fine and then she began to tend to the ill. The main plot device of this episode was the Ten Day Fever. Yuri suspects that she didn’t get sick was because of her vaccinations. There is some truth to that. 

The best moment of the episode was when Yuri picked up the sick child. It showed how compassionate a person she truly is only to be jailed because of it. Then the most satisfying part of the episode is when Kail arrives, the false Ishtar is exposed, and Kail asks where trouble is happening. The moment in the valley with Kail and Yuri was also very sweet. Yuri thought she was just being a burden to Kail only for all of the villages to claim otherwise and then pledge their loyalty to Ishtar and Kail. 

Episode 14 was a demonstration of Yuri’s wisdom. Yuri knew she needed irrefutable proof of who the assassin was. She produced it in an ingenious way. 

Episode 15 was a demonstration of Yuri’s compassion and empathy. Empathy for Kail in a difficult time of life. Providing comfort when his father died and wanting to stop the damage to his reputation. Compassion to the sick and those who are being mistreated. 

This is one reason why I enjoy Red River and Yuri. While sometimes the decisions she makes are rash, she’s at least doing something. She also learns from what works and what doesn’t. 

Basically the title. Any kind of tattoos/piercings/otherwise alternative fashion is peak 🙏

I did check out Horimiya and I did like the ML design but wasn't big on the plot after the first few chapters 😔

Keep in mind I've never seen any of the original anime or manga of Red River, Magic Knight Rayearth, From Far Away or whatever else they have cooking up. So please recommend a shojo to get me hooked on this season.

And if there are some old classics I should watch (really well done stuff) I'm all ears. I just finished watching Escaflowne. Just need some more good recs (in the fantasy lane especially).

Hopefully they are good. Haven't watched the anime or read either of them but have only heard good things

I finished watching the anime today,it sucked but I still gotta say,I enjoyed every moment of this anime,the characters were not likable,they didn't feel real,and this is exactly why I approve of this hot garbage-even so,there is one thing that always kept me going while watching this show,the concept of being "happy". FL Momo Adachi keeps on stating this several times in this anime that all she always wishes for is to be happy,even during the closure of this anime,while Momo clearly has chosen Toji over Kairi,she had a change of heart as soon as Sae said "So,are you happy", Momo is the representation of your decisions can never be right,you have to prove the decision you've made,RIGHT.I don't particularly hate or love any of these characters but I still gotta admit they did were written in context of who they were supposed to be.

I'd love to extend this post but I'll love to talk about every single character in detail so please comment below the character I should start discussing about first!

Kare Kano

Please Save My Earth

Ouran High School Host Club

Skip Beat

I'm probably an older fan than most here. I dont read much manga anymore. But I watched the anime a long time ago and was crushed it was cancelled. It was apparently given a bad time slot. But the manga was popular in Japan.

I'm finally getting into the manga and it's great. Sarasa is a fave character of mine and I felt I should finish reading her story. She's the warrior and hero of her story. Please give it a shot if you can.

And is it available in English somewhere?

Reread the whole manga series after catching up on Jewel Joker. I love this so much forever and ever. Almost was nervous re-reading the original but it's still as good and once again, helped me find my inner sparkle ngl. I got emotional again at certain moments. Ah. I really love it.

Blonde hair is ml BTW lol

So, here's the thing: I remember reading a romance manhwa where the protagonist was a commoner who, for some reason, was about to be sacrificed by her village—fed to a sea monster. A guy and his group of friends save her, and she falls for him and all that, but from what I saw in the synopsis, this hero—who is a total jerk, at least up to the point I read—doesn't marry her; he marries a princess instead. The synopsis literally talks about how the hero always ends up with the princess, while she was just an ordinary girl.
