Romance like Beauty and the Beast
(3 posts, 1238 views) Posted: over 9 years ago by Karura Himura in I'm Looking For...
Hi!
I'm looking for a romance where one of the MC isn't human but some kind of monster. I don't want demon lords/princes and such but an ordinary non-human. One with no influence whatsoever in the world or overly powerful. Remember how the Beast was royalty but all he had ...

That's totally Warau Kanoko-sama. Insight from obsessive observation. Obsessive as in not becoming involved with her classmates for the sake of objective information.

Female Vampire Human Male

Never read the manga you mentioned, but Orange Marmalade and Karin have the female vampire/human male theme, and those are all the titles I can think of right now.
Also, I'm pretty sure there's already a thread like this, did you searched the forums?

I wholeheartedly agree with ForteAtrox.
I never liked her character, and after chapter 56 my dislike of her just deepened, that was an incredibly stupid thing of her to think.
I guess I'll have to wait and see if there is really something in chapter 57 to redeem her, since ...

Am I Missing Something About the Japanese Grading System?

Well, I guess I can see how that makes little sense to you. Indeed, the failing average (continuing with the calculus example) for our group is about 30-40%, it's hard, and a lot of people fail, yes. Still, our university (and most, actually) h...

I don't know about the japanese, but we have a grading system like that, and yes, grades so low are not that uncommon.
Actually, a week ago we got the results for a calculus exam and my circle of friends got a 103, a 34, a 86 and one clear 0 (and he did answer most of it)....

Yes, I like plants. I like them a lot. And I like them even more when they have a fantastical side to it, which is what I'm looking for right now.

Horror manga w/ tension, survival, mystery, and some grossness

Island has it all.
The horror, the mistery, the tension and I don't remember any romance in it.
The lead female is a regular cute human, but the male lead tends toward powerfulness (of course, I'd never call him a victim, more like an anti-hero).
