So, my general feeling about Harta so far is very positive and I feel like I definitely got my money’s worth! It’s just that when it misses, it misses badly (for me!). There are stories that I find really repulsive and they kind of muddy the whole experience for me. I am curious to see how Harta will develop and how I will feel about it when I have a few more volumes in!
Harta 75
青武高校あおぞら弓道部
Obviously I was missing context from the previous chapters, but I really like the drawing style. I don’t think it is a Manga I would seek out specifically, but I am pretty sure I will continue reading further chapters in the next Hartas. I don’t think I will seek out older chapters though.
クプルムの花嫁
I’m not crazy about it, but it is a nice relaxing story and the setting is pretty unique. I won’t catch up on previous volumes but certainly keep following it!
ヤギと羊の王冠
First I thought this references East/West Germany and the Berlin wall, but I guess not, lol. I was a bit confused throughout.
東京城址女子高生
I really liked this! For some reason that’s one of the chapters that stayed the most with me after finishing all of Harta 75. I just really liked the drawing style and thought it flowed very nicely.
アンリの靴
Cute! I teared up a bit! Another very unique setting.
夕凪に舞え、僕のリボン
I have no idea what’s going on but I love it! I will catch up on this.
ライカの星
Definitely my favourite from this volume! I loved everything about it. Also, I read it around the time the Irish Eurovision entry came out which is… very fitting. Needless to say, this played on repeat in my head while reading ライカの星!

金曜日はアトリエで
Didn’t leave a strong impression, but I will continue following it! Beautiful imagery.
ヒナまつり
I probably need to catch up on it to really get it, but not sure if I am motivated to do so!
姫と忍
Very cute and really beautiful.
碧いホルスの瞳一男装の女王の物語
It is kind of strange to see Egyptian history so “manga”-fied, but I am sure it is really good. I am not really interested in catching up on it. Maybe sometime in the future.
煙と蜜
Let’s just say until I posted here I deadass thought the last scene is him coming home to his daughter.
はなやっこ
I don’t like 4-koma so I wasn’t really engaged with it, but it still has its moments.
不死の猟犬
I read up on it and while it sounds interesting, I don’t think I am motivated enough to catch up on it, especially since this chapter didn’t really draw me in either.
極東事変
Not my thing at all. Not sure if I will read more of it.
九国のジュウシ
Even though I lacked context and went in blind, I still was able to follow it to some degree. I think I will read more chapters!
紙一重りんちゃん
It was so weird, I like it lol
峠鬼
Interesting even without having read the previous chapters, but if I want to continue reading it I have to catch up on the earlier volumes to make it comprehensible. But not sure if I feel like it with everything else that has a higher priority for me catching up (Dungeon Meshi, Subaru to Suu-san, …)
昴とスーさん
I will catch up on this and then continue here.
ダンジョン飯
Will catch up first! (Already read the first chapter, pretty wordy, but enjoyable!)
トネリコ
cute one shot, but as a morning person very hard to relate to it lol
ミギとダリ
I am pretty interested in this but not sure if I will find time to catch up. I enjoyed this chapter even without understanding anything, which is a good sign though lol
ふろラン
Cute, nothing special.
瑠璃の宝石
One of the few I skipped because I can’t with the fanservice/horniness. Such a shame since it’s a long-running series and I would like to learn about mineralogy!
福引き怨霊生活
Won’t catch up. Was still enjoyable to dive into this random chapter. I am not sure if I can get behind the drawing style, but I appreciate that it is pretty unique!
紅椿
I wanna know more about this!
北北西に曇と往け
Probably my fav drawing-wise. Sad that this is leaving, but I think I will just follow the regular Manga. (And have to catch up as well)
レキヨミ
Not my thing, but not terrible?
乙嫁語り
This time I read up on this before I jumped in and saw that this is another love story between an adult and a child. No, thank you. Such a shame (again) because the setting and the drawings are really interesting.
つきたて！静小町
Cute, nothing special… But I want ramen now…
鉄機のダン
Another one I skipped and I am so happy that this is not coming back.
ハクメイとミコチ
Am catching up on the old volumes.
