Love-So-Life!

This is one of the cutest mangas I've read in a while. Lately, I'd been randomly picking and reading mangas that were recommended to me. They seemed quite promising in the beginning but none of them really held my interest for more than 8-10 chapters because invariably and all too soon, the female protagonist falls for the male lead and is reduced to a stereotypical (and unimpressive, even annoying) shoujo heroine. But Love So Life doesn't have that drawback.

Sure, Shiharu, the protag in LSL is a bit of an ideal teenage girl but endearingly so. The twins, Akane and Aoi, who she babysits are too adorable to be legal! Shiharu's romance with the twins' guardian is steadily paced and is refreshing because it mostly avoids the usual shoujo traps and overwhelming sexual tension. It's sweet, pure and very... cute! You still have a smile on your face after you've finished reading a chapter. I finished reading it today (btw, it's still ongoing, chapters come out once every month) and enjoyed every bit of it.

Do go for this story once! Most of you won't be disappointed! It's really popular as well and is a 'hot' manga on Mangafox.

Big thanks to who graciously permitted me to colour her wonderful lineart: [link]
