This was a story about growing as a person, and about letting go. Even though it's got "endings" as it's main theme, Dear Nolan has an upbeat tone, impulsing you to keep pushing forward. This is an extremely short read, but it does feature some character development, and we can take a nice peek at a rich, lore-filled world. The art is mostly simple, but extremely pretty - it reminded me of watercolors, and of sketches. Just as a heads-up, there is no real romance per se: the bonds developed are more platonic in nature. It was a moving read nonetheless, but if you came herefor the Shojo Ai tag, be warned. At the end, if you have an hour to spare, give it a shot. I do recommend it.
Ever since she was little, Mashiro has been able to see ghosts-of people, of animals, and of some strange creatures that don't seem to be either. For years, she's pretended not to see the eerie sights around her, but then a chance encounter plunges Mashiro into the world of the inhuman Nomans. An accidental kiss leaves Mashiro partnered with Bazu, a human-hating crow lady, as she joins the Boundary Preservation Society to help the dead that walk the earth move on... (Source: Yen Press)
ANOTHER DOOMED YURI The premise in the beginning is pretty simple. Girl can see ghosts and collaborates with an organization to defeat nomen(?? what is the plural loll). The character interactions between Bazu and Mashiro are what make this manga so great. The bonus comics really make you love their dynamic, and you can see as Bazu starts to like Mashiro. I do wish there was more development on the noman who liked Mashiro, however. I feel like she was included very briefly. It is a bingeable short read and I recommend it if you like girls love and supernatural themes!
Dear Noman is an incredible work for it's size. In the short time the characters have to interact and develop, the author manages a really sweet story about relationships: trusting, maintaining and letting go are all topics tackled quite well by the manga. The setting and premise aren't anything complicated, and every chapter feels purposeful and well thought out. As much as it didn't break some insane new ground with a fresh new take or anything outstanding like that, not every story needs to do that. It's fine to have a simple, localized story that does something well. Not too ambitious and knows exactly whatit wants to do, doing so really well
