Horror genre
Reason(s) for nominating: Love the questionable romance section of the horror genre and really really want to try this one
Given how few nominations are have rn, I don’t think it makes sense to worry about dropping (20 is the limit, right?). Probably I wouldn’t drop anything from next round, until there’s at least 12 nominations.
At that point I’d say drop max 3, then at 15, max 5. Just my 2 cents though, feel free to ignore
The self-conscious Shizuku Hoshikawa is on her way to dispose of her first and last novel. But before she can do so, the charismatic Kaori Asaka bumps into her and ends up taking the novel home. This turn of events greatly distresses Shizuku, as she does not want anyone to read the depressing story she wrote for her own satisfaction.
Initially expecting the worst, Shizuku finds herself in tears of joy when Kaori tells her the novel deeply moved her. Kaori wishes to read more of her stories, but as Shizuku did not plan on writing anything else, she has no idea what to write. As a result, Kaori comes up with a bizarre suggestion—their love.
Shizuku is skeptical of Kaori’s intention and somewhat uneasy about what secrets she may be hiding behind her smile. Nevertheless, the two begin their odd summer vacation in pursuit of their own love story.

Reason(s) for nominating: I love the art style. It’s Fully Colored!! Characters are college age. It’s fast paced and wholesome. It’s not a “will they or won’t they” story, nor a “we have to keep it a secret story”, but a story of two college girls with a very wonderful relationship. Lots of 胸がドキドキ moments!
