From Eroica With Love (Manga) Review
Full List of Bromance Recommendations Here I am, back to my eternal habit of getting obsessed over obscure stuff whose fandom is either tiny or virtually non-existent… This manga is probably what I would dub as ‘The spy camaraderie you never knew you needed’ (or that it even existed…) But this was, in fact, a classic work and was really popular in Japan during its time. Just that for some reason, the manga never made it to international attention – which is a real pity, because, seriously, this is good. Like really really really good. And the bromance? 24k gold grade, I rest my case. Genre: Shoujo, Adventure, Action, Historical,…

Shuuten Unknown (Manga) Review
Full List of Bromance Recommendations Now that we’re at this, here’s one fun fact about me: I am eternally grateful whenever I chance upon a bromance title with a fantasy setting ( *̩̩̩ ᵋ *̩̩̩ ). Like, there are just not enough of them out there! The bromance manga being introduced today might be familiar to some.

Beastars (Manga) Review
Full List of Bromance Recommendations If I have to describe this in one sentence, I’d say: An animal story that is surprisingly human. I confess that when I first learnt about the title, this is what I knew: School Life, Coming of Age, School Romance, Slice of Life, Animal Universe. Exactly the genres that I almost never ever touch. The end result: I gulped down 160+ chapters in 4 days. It is that good. The bromance? Not exactly the main theme of the story, but whenever it gets featured, the standard is gold. Here I am, telling you about the latest manga that I can happily put into the “Really…

Himitsu The Top Secret (Manga) Review
Full List of Bromance Recommendations The very best BL-undertoned manga I’ve ever read. And I am frustratingly surprised that this manga is not as popular as it deserves to be. I gulped down all 10 English volumes within 72 hours and have come to be certain that: This series will permanently have a very special place in my heart, alongside only 3 other fictional works: BBC Sherlock, The Guest and Dao Mu Bi Ji. Now, please bear with me as today’s recommendation is a lengthy one. I have too many praises for this manga. Genre: Shoujo / Josei, Mystery, Detective, Police Drama Author: Reiko Shimizu Running Years: 1999 – 2012…
