17. Satoko to Nada - Yupechika. A charming tale of friendship between a Japanese woman and her Muslim roommate who both came to study abroad in US. It's so good ?? I loved it so much I wish it continued longer ... ( it only has 4 volumes )

19. RIN-NE - Rumiko Takahashi ( who did Inuyasha) one of her recent series about girl who can see ghosts and a poor boy from the beyond who is a grim reaper. I just looooove how she draws all these cute boys ? Anime ( 75 episodes ) is also hilarious and it's on Crunchyroll ?

20. Midnight Diner - Yaro Abe. You might seen the drama version on Netflix. Tbh I wasn't fond of the drawing at first but as I read it, it grew on me and ended up loving all these heartwarming food + human drama stories. I also love his "Mimikaki" comic ( about ear cleaning )

21. Blank Canvas - Akiko Higashimura. ( who did Jellyfish Princess - also super good !) I always recommend this one for anyone who is struggling with art. Can't read this without ?I also love her "Gourmet Detective"??️‍♂️,"Mama wa Temparist" ??and "Tokyo Tarareba Girls" ?‍♀️⁉️?.

22. Animal Doctor - Noriko Sasaki. It's about humorous adventures of a Hokkaido veterinary student, his friends, and his dog, learning how to care for all kinds of animals. I just love her comical expressions. One of my life favorite comic. Her "Heaven?" ( ???) is also ???
