Mangas I’ll Always Recommend

These are some of my absolute favorites mangas. I’ll never stop recommending because they’re just that good.

1. The Apothecary Diaries

Slow burn done right. The mystery, the palace intrigue, the tension between the characters… it hooks you quietly and then suddenly you’re obsessed. You’ll fall in love with Maomao and every twist along the way.

2. Nana

Emotional, raw, and beautifully written. It explores friendship, love, heartbreak, and the messy parts of growing up. It hurts… but that’s what makes it unforgettable.

3. Spy x Family

A perfect mix of action, comedy, and just enough romance to make you soft. Every character is lovable in their own way, and the found-family vibes are unbeatable.

Which of these have you read?

... Read moreIf you're a manga enthusiast or just starting to explore this rich storytelling medium, these three titles offer a diverse and captivating experience. The Apothecary Diaries, illustrated by Nekokurage and compiled by Itsuki Nanao Shino, is praised for its slow burn narrative and the intriguing palace mystery that unfolds with every chapter. The complex relationships and tensions between characters, especially Maomao's unique perspective, will keep you engaged as the story twists and turns. Nana, a 2019 title with memorable emotional depth, explores the raw and often painful facets of friendship and love. Written by Ai Yazawa, this manga tackles heartbreak and the complexities of growing up, making it resonate deeply with readers who appreciate stories that reflect real-life struggles and emotions. Spy x Family by Tatsuya Endo balances action, comedy, and romance seamlessly. The found-family dynamic is central to its charm, creating lovable characters and lighthearted moments amidst thrilling spy escapades. This manga offers a refreshing mix of genres, appealing to a broad audience seeking warmth and laughter. Each manga brings something unique — from the meticulous world-building and mystery of The Apothecary Diaries, through the heartfelt intensity of Nana, to the blend of humor and excitement in Spy x Family. Whether you prefer slow-building drama or fast-paced action with comedic relief, these recommendations cater to varied tastes. If you haven’t read these yet, they are definitely worth picking up. What’s even better is the community around these titles, where fans discuss plot theories and character developments, enhancing your reading experience. Which one captures your interest most?

things I will always recommend for pregnancies
- eat lots of your favorite veggies & fruits. Not only for the health benefits, but also because they’re a better choice for snacking than cookies or ice cream. I’m not saying you shouldn’t eat sweets like that, because believe me I always definitely do 😂 Just be sure to eat healthy snacks too!
