I liked it too, the thing that really jumped at me reading it was the character designs (animal-human hybrids) were really really good. It's why I thought the MHA concept was a perfect fit for him.

Oh look, she did her first successful magic trick. Whoever wrote that text at the side is on point. Senpai is fine~

It's still your standard shonen series, but boy, the art sure looks pretty.

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha. by Yoshida Morohe
The story of Inari, your everyday clumsy and plain high schooler, who crushes after Koji, the basketball star of the school. One day, as she rescues a little fox, she befriends Uka, the goddess residing in the nearby shrine, and following some extraordinary circumstances, obtains the power to copy the appearance of anyone else. Of course, possessing such a power will inevitably lead to additional complications in her quest of conquering her crush...
Firstly I must say that it's a very 'safe' manga, in that it doesn't really try to stray away from the common developments of the genre, though it does manage to stay relatively light-hearted, even if it has its fair share of contrived drama. Most of the characters are pretty likeable, and it's nice to read a romcom that tells from a female perspective, althoug Inari can sometimes pass off as being too shoehorned in the 'insecure girl who wishes to be the perfect bride' archetype. The art is cute and pleasant to look at, and fits the setting well, and it's a pretty nice series overall, even if nothing extraordinary.
Read Inari Konkon if you wish to a simple, fantastical manga about working out the courage to go out with your love as you coexist with gods.

Best part of that series is that it gave inspiration for one of the best Maaya Sakamoto songs
Oh? Which one if I may ask?
TBH the only thing I liked about this was the sidestory about her older brother.

I think messy haired Tomo is way more attractive. Jun's dumb.

Just once in shonen manga I'd like someone not guilt tripping themselves over stuff they weren't all that much responsible for. Things happen, get on with it.
This obviously won't happen here either.
Oh and concerning the Yuri/Yaoi-thing, since I might have come off wrong: I enjoy DTL's posts, they give some nice insights into stuff I don't read and his/her opinions on popular manga are fairly interesting and entertaining due to the unique angle. And while I'm not interested in pure Yaoi, I'd be more than welcoming to all entertainment media in general tackling boy-on-boy romance more often and in a more serious/accepting manner.

Yeah, she and Akemi definitely made it more enjoyable than it'd otherwise be.

I think you guys missed the point.
It's not an issue of "too much smut". It's that for some reason, lesbians are hot/cute, girl talking smut to a guy and vice versa is "piques my interest", but two guys going at it is too much and time to run away?
What I'm saying is that if you're gungho for or completely okay with girl on girl action, then you better be goddamn okay with DTL and gay guys too.

Finaly took time to read it. To be honest SYFM kind of lost me along the way, going into too many characters I think, so I'm maybe not really fair to the ending... which isn't bad, but I found pretty predictable, and not much feel were felt.
In other news I finaly decided to sell some of my manga, series I don't feel like finishing ( sorry Natsume yuujinchou I only like the anime not the manga )/keeping ( naruto what have you become ) .... I hate selling books, must be some kind of collector OCD. But I need that space for other manga I have yet to buy like Erased.

i thought Akemi was alright but i feel there was some stuff missing from her story, like her background (which hints to why she was like she was in the beginning).
Also
not a fan how the stuff with Keiko was handled especially Keiko's kinda nasty (imo) reaction at learning about it as well and its "resolution".
Its almost like the author wanted to go for it then got cold feet and undone everything very hastily but hey

Yeah it definitely was handled awkwardly, or felt like it was axed.
As I stated, it's a pretty 'safe' series.

Gotta say that the anime really does polish up some of the better scenes. The Christmas Tree was leagues better in the anime.

OP, is it possible to add Web Novels to this thread's description?
Let me kick this off right with a possibly large list of recommendations:
Reincarnator
Synopsis:
One of the last remaining remnants of humanity travels back in time to try to save humanity.
Why I like it:
It's got action, suspense, and incredibly cunning strategic elements. I just love the MC's lack of fucks to give about people. You'd think this guy cared but nah, fuck feelings. It's currently on chapter 60.
Reincarnated as a Dragon's egg
Synopsis:
Dude gets reincarnated as a Dragon and tries to survive.
Why I like it:
This guy is funny as a dragon yet constantly fights enemies stronger than him. Currently on chapter 58.
The New Gate (Web Novel edition)
Synopsis:
Guy beats game and is not allowed to log out only to wake up X years later in the same world.
Why I Like It:
It moves faster than the manga series and has much better character development.
Dragon Maken War
Synopsis:
Dude kills an enemy only he's forced to take a dragon's sleep waking up X years later in the same world.
Why I Like It:
This guy has to actually retrain himself to get back to his old days. It's written in a way that tells us that allows us to understand his growth in ability as he has to actually train from the ground up.
Legend
Synopsis:
Dude dies but is provided with the option to be reborn in a world with magic.
Why I like it:
MC has a excellent companion that is really reliable. He's a young adult surviving on his own in a new world with only his partner beside him.

You know in Seven Deadly Sins, I think they missed out on a huge moment by having Elanie revived like that and not pulling the whole soul switcheroo.
The story could have gone the route of Ban's sister being revenge-born into Elaine's body (which is the route it's foreshadowed to go to in that chapter) and wreaking havoc forcing Ban to have even more character growth. Instead she's ex machinaed into the mortal realm with no repercussions and Ban lost a clearly defined goal and a reason to be there for the endgame, nor does the whole Goddess clan proposal amount to anything spectacular.

Was quite an interesting read with a very different take on the whole being summoned as a hero. I'm going to miss Student Hero, he was truly the best.

why not post that in the novel thread, you and a few others there mentioned web novels before http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1035976
I realized that it's more of a place for light novels that are commercially available and serialized. That thread is more for light novels that are on shelves that people buy whereas most of the stuff I read are web novels updated in the same frequency as manga.

I'll second that.

Nice that we finally got the back story for kaguras mom.
Although, if she needed to be on that planet, why didn't she just take trips back there?
This one has 3 version: WN, LN and Manga. WN is the original followed by LN and Manga? From what I read, WN is already done? LN is about to wrap up and manga is pretty much behind.
WN is indeed already done. LN is probably more polished and things have changed and I assume the manga follows the LN mostly.
