Witch Hat Atelier
Daemons of the Shadow Realm
I love when this sort of thing happens. Those were the two that most caught my attention, though I’m only familiar with Witch Hat Atelier by reputation and had never even heard of Daemons of the Shadow Realm before, so it wasn’t as if I made a considered choice. To some degree, necessarily, I just sort of guessed.
But then boom - just the next post down, there’s the same two titles. So maybe I guessed reasonably well.
The Ramparts of Ice
I had no idea that was from the mangaka of You and I Are Polar Opposites. It briefly caught my attention, but didn’t hold it, but with that additional information, I’ll definitely be giving it a shot too.

Worth noting that they made The Ramparts of Ice before they made You and I Are Polar Opposites. It might not be as good since they were less experienced at the time. Or maybe it will be. I have no idea; I haven’t read it.

Yeah - I noticed that, and thought the same thing.
Amusingly enough, I just got in a discussion last week about Call of the Night, which is a great example of the hazards there. I loved that manga so much when I finally read it (about three months before it ended) that I went in search of other things by the same author, which led me to Dagashi Kashi.
So… yeah.
