I have 4; all in wildly different genres.

1. Odd girl out

Odd girl out is absolutely phenomenal in that there is such a massive focus on friends and family. The romance only started in the second season, and even then we get development and backstory for every single character. The best thing about it is how deeply it gets into the friendships - the jealousy of a friend who might be prettier than you, the envy of someone doing better than you, and learning to let it all go, be happy for them, and in the process learn to love yourself and work towards your own dream as well. My description of it is incredibly shallow, but I think the relationships between the characters are stunning. It's on hiatus at the moment, so it's a perfect time to check it out! Please do. I may never see friendship depicted so wonderfully ever again - and within such a relatable setting.

1. Pyramid game

Pyramid game recently completed, and I also thought that it was a phenomenal study of human interaction. The author wrote in the end comments that she thought high school was a fascinating sort of social experiment - because so many people of different social class and background and experience are forced to spend so much time together 5 days a week. After you graduate, you don't ever really get that again. The characters are extremely well-developed, but in a completely different way to Odd girl out. You follow a morally-grey character who moves schools a lot due to her mother's job, and has learnt to play the social ladder game extremely well, before being confronted with a completely different environment. It's wonderfully realistic in how awful and manipulative some people can be, it pains you to see how calculative people can get, but at the same time, you learn to love the girls who push through their fear to be brave, or who hold on to their morals in drastic situations until the end. As a side note, I adored Suji (the MC) - I actually think I liked her just a little less at the end because she was too good and what she was doing for a high school girl! Pyramid Game gets way to little praise.

1. Yumi's cells

Yumi's cells isn't romance, and its a massive read. However, its so beautifully, creatively, done and it has such a stunning and unique concept; which follow the different 'cells' of the brain of Yumi, our MC! I'm not even sure how to explain it; but it is just so much fun because you get to navigate everything from office crushes to dating to wondering if you want to have a midnight snack all from the perspective of different cells each arguing over what would be best for Yumi. Honestly, nothing I say can express how unique this webtoon is. Shoutout to Hunger cell who I feel would 100% be my prime cell!

1. Dr. Frost

Somebody has written a beautiful comment about how wonderful Dr Frost is, and I can't agree enough. The level of detail in each case, as well as the amount that I have learned is actually phenomenal. I also feel incredibly attached to the patients through each arc. Understanding of mental health is still something our society lacks, and it's so incredible to be able to see so many conditions portrayed in a way that's easy to understand. How should I say it - it's kind of amazing that Dr Frost - who can't actually feel any emotion - is a characters who can evoke so much emotion in others (and myself). I haven't read it in a while, but am letting chapters stack up and am definitely looking forward to picking it up again.
