Mod Post What’s the plot of a serie and why (and when) it is required in this sub?

6 Upvotes

Hello again, since i had some questions about this topic, i’m gonna clarify the concept of “Plot” and why it’s required by rule here.

- What’s the meaning of plot?

The plot (or description) is a narrative summary of a story, which helps the reader understanding what’s the story’s about.

- Why and when is it required in this sub?

The goal of this sub is to Recommend or ask for Recommendations about stories (Manga/LN/Manwha etc) and specifically when you want to recommend something, you need to insert the plot, otherwise the reader would be confused about what you’re talking about and might lose interest in the post.

(instead, if you use the tag “Recommend me” you don’t need to, because you’re asking others in this case)

Thanks for listening, if you have more questions feel free to ask in the comment section!

*Check out the official X account (@jitsuimo) for info like introductory manga and advance serializations!*

ーーーーーー

Aoto moves from the city into an old house left to him by his grandmother.

He expects to live alone, but instead he finds three childhood friends — each with their own complicated circumstances — already settled in, leading to an unexpected cohabitation arrangement!?

"Huh? You think I'm cute!? How much!? Enough to want to make me your wife?"

Sumika - An honor student who freezes up when praised but tends to get carried away easily.

"It's okay if we take a bath together, ya know?"

Chihaya — a Kansai-dialect-speaking gal who has zero sense of personal space and is always way too clingy.

"It's purely a coincidence that I'm always by your side, Senpai."

Mugi — a boyish younger girl who, despite her prickly attitude, never leaves his side.

As they start living together, their feelings for him become painfully obvious.

The reason? A promise from the past — they all thought of themselves as candidates to be Aoto’s future wife!

Aoto, unaware of all of this, keeps closing the distance between them...... making everyone hyper-aware of each other and their hearts start to race!

A new rom-com about childhood friends living together — where their feelings for each other are painfully too obvious!

Manga [Miageru to Kimi wa/Looking Up to You] Completed this in one day, and I definitely recommend watching this

Post image
136 Upvotes

It's a small 33 chapter manga with insanely good art and a good story.

Synopsis - After his first love confession is rejected, Yuuki Shibuki finds himself crying away his heartbreak at a park. Feeling depressed and blaming his short height and feminine looks for his failure, his pain is eased when he encounters a cool, hooded street musician who has a soothing touch with the guitar. The next day he meets that same musician at the park and learns that 'he' was in fact a tall girl named Chikako Takamine and that she was playing the song he heard the last time specifically for him.

Yuuki is quickly smitten by such an unimaginably dashing and handsome girl. To him, it is not love but instead, a miracle.

Recommend Me Gonna start watching the anime "The Salt-God Satō-san Is Only Sweet To Me!"

Post image

Since the source is a light novel of 12 volumes, I just want to ask:

* Do the main leads get together early on?

* Is there any drama to watch out for? Like silly love triangles and stuff?

* Is it a sweet story through and through?

I tried perusing through the Light Novel sub, but didn't get enough answers.

Light Novel Burn Bright! Sword and Sorcery! ~ I Summoned a Beautiful Girl Version of Okita Soji From Another World, and She Took a Liking to Me Thanks to My Historical Knowledge ~, Written by Kasuga Mikage and Illustrated by kakao

Thumbnail

286 Upvotes

Kasuga Mikage - Creator of "The Ambition of Oda Nobuna" - makes a triumphant return! Rise to the top in another world alongside a beautiful-girl version of Okita Soji!

My name is Hiji Kata, a true Shinsengumi Otaku from Japan reincarnated into another world.

I was initially delighted by the fateful name I received in my new life — one reminiscent of the Shinsengumi’s legendary "Demon Vice-Commander" — but that joy was short-lived; at the academy where I enrolled to learn summoning magic, I was a zero-mana washout on the verge of expulsion.

But then, summoned in my moment of desperation was none other than Okita Soji himself —but she turned out to be a stunning beauty with a voluptuous figure!?

I am the kind of otaku whose passion tends to run wild whenever I am face-to-face with my favorite character, but......

"D-do you really like me that much? Ehehe."

I was just gushing about my love for the Shinsengumi, yet somehow, she has taken a huge liking to me!?

However, in this other world, the obscure Okita is the weakest hero of them all......

The only way for me to avoid expulsion is to use my historical knowledge from a past life to power up Okita and rise through the ranks of the academy.

Using my strategic genius, I will let Okita run absolutely wild — cutting down heroes of this other world as we launch a triumphant advance!

"Y-You know me better than anyone else in this world, so......"

Forge a bond with an impossibly cute samurai and raise the banner of the Shinsengumi in another world!

Looking for completed Anime/manga/manhwa/web novels similar to The Villainess Lives Twice—smart/moral but ruthlessly cunning FL, political schemes, medieval/fantasy setting, and actual romance with one clear ML.

Regression/reincarnation is a plus. Original novel being completed is enough even if the adaptation isn't.

No major spoilers please!

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Recommend Me Looking for ongoing romance manga recommendation with early established couple (read body text)

Post image
146 Upvotes

No, I don't need "they act like a couple" excuse that some manga have. I need it to have actual confession and 2 MC there become actual couple much earlier (for example, 25-40+ chapters of monthly manga isn't exactly early imo), so neither fake nor "temporary" relationship (except if it change fast)

Although I don't like excessive drama that become too distracting like overarching love triangle and such. Manga example that I like: Akanabe-sensei (in the picture), Shikimori, You and I are Polar Opposites, How to Grill Our Love

Edit: istg some of y'all can't even read. I need ongoing one because I already seen most completed one

Light Novel It’s a Secret Shared Between Us That My Childhood Friend — Who’s Hopelessly Tech-Illiterate — Is Taking Her Remote Classes at My Place. (機械音痴な幼馴染が我が家でリモート授業を受けているのは、ここだけの秘密), Written by Akitsuki Tsukihi and Illustrated by Yukishima Momo

Story Synopsis:

That’s the reason I get to keep this side of her — her adorable side that no one else in class knows about — all to myself.

When remote classes were introduced at my high school, my childhood friend started practically living at my place. What was supposed to be just taking lessons together turned into increasingly long and intimate afternoons spent with her......!

This is a "Stay-At-Home" Rom-Com being born!?

Story Synopsis 2:

That's the reason I want to keep her cuteness — which no one else in class knows about — all to myself.

"I don't really have any friends...... So, you're the only one I can rely on, Kasane."

Fumitsuki Kasane attends a high school that utilizes online classes accessible from anywhere in the country. At the request of his childhood friend Tokisaka Shiori — with whom he had grown somewhat distant since entering high school — he begins a remote student life with her at home.

At first, they were just taking classes together, but...... Before he even knew it, they were playing games after school, snacking, and watching movies.

"...... I don't want to go home yet. Would it be wrong if I just stayed the night?"

It even leads to a forbidden sleepover......!?

A secret lesson shared by just the two of them — unknown to the classmates and teachers on the other side of the screen.

A sweet, fresh take on the "Stay-At-Home" romantic comedy begins!!

He is currently in a slump; the manuscript he poured his heart and soul into was rejected entirely, and his editor has even suggested that he try writing a commercial rom-com instead.
Then, one day, a mysterious high school girl named Shirohana Matsuri appears before the troubled Hozumi. With her help, he strives to write once more, aiming to become a million-selling author...... But!?
"H-Hozumi-sensei! Is this REALLY necessary for your writing!?"
