Story: (10/10)
Not once have I felt completely bored with this manhua. Nan Hao & Shang Feng is simply a story about the misadventures and shenanigans of two high school boys and their friends, family, and acquaintances. As simple and slice of lifey as the plot sounds, this is definitely the most hilarious story I've come across. It's basically a goldmine of "the boys" kind of humor. 10/10 will take you back to your high school days. Be wary though, no amount of humor will prepare you for certain emotional chapters and backstories.
Last but not least, since this story is Chinese, it features a ton of
...
references to the local culture, so it is best enjoyed by locals, but it was still very fun to see more of Chinese daily life through this manhua.
Art: (10/10)
The art is raw in a way that fits the story's realistic and relatable approach, and the faces certain characters can get to making is pure comedy.
Characters: (9/10)
Since the story is character driven, the characters are extremely relatable and fun. The manhua features an impulsive and troublemaker duo, a fujoshi who secretly ships them, her crazy sister, three inseparable boys in their own "cool" friend group, and way more lively characters. My only small complaint is that certain characters definitely need more to them, but in general the characterization is one of the strongest points in this manhua.
Enjoyment: (10/10)
Trust me when I say it's one of the funniest, if not the funniest manhua I've ever read. As previously said, the humor is on point, even nostalgic, every chapter is a game of where's waldo where you have fun staring in the backgrounds and the details of each panel hiding tons of references and easter eggs.
And the way the characters act, in their prime high schooler days, is very realistic.
Overall: (10/10)
I cannot stress enough how much I love this manhua. Recommended 100%

Story:(9/10)
Beryl and Sapphire is a donghua about two boys "Xiao Lu" (Little Blue) or Sapphire and "Xiao Lan" "Little Green" or Beryl. Every episode is only a few minutes long, for the exception of the weekend episodes which go past the 25 minute mark, and each one focuses on a completely different story. The two main characters are essentially actors. There are a lot of technological themes, and certain plot points or aspects are reoccurring in the episodes, for example Sapphire being a programmer.
In short, a very experimental and unique concept. Every episode will have you thinking what new story it'll bring, whether it's
...
comedic, simple, or even sad. Some are fantasy, some a scifi, some are slice of life. Many episodes will pick up a story from a previous episode.
Certain episodes, especially the weekend ones, manage to reach a level in writing and immersion that is admirable for a story told in only a few minutes or half an hour depending on the episodes.
Animation: (8/10)
Pretty simple and cute, which is fitting. It is obvious at times that the animators take shortcuts, especially in that episode where the animation style switched from handrawn to puppet in a way to experiment with things. And the 3D models used for background characters. However the important moments are usually always given great animation.
Voice acting: (8/10)
Didn't break the immersion for me, and I find the voices pretty fitting, and Sapphire's voice is cute. So in general, it's a fine voice acting, great at best.
Soundtrack: (9/10)
To be honest, both the OP and ED are really catchy, at least to me. They capture a specific vibe that is hard to explain, but that fits the show perfectly.
Romance: (9/10)
One of the most unique takes in romance I've seen.
In many of the stories, Beryl and Sapphire and involved in some romantic plot with each other. Depending on the episode, they can be genderbended, straight, sapphic, gay, requited, unrequited, soulmates, long time friends, coworkers, different species, or more. The episodes are mostly short and not all focus on their relationship, but the central theme of the two boys being related to each other in a way or other in almost all of the episodes, whether they're lovers or enemies, toxic or healthy, makes their relationship feel soulmate-like. The most perfect iteration of the "in every universe trope". Because of this, their relationship feels extremely convincing.
General score: (8.6/10). Rounded up to (9/10).
I absolutely recommend it, it's a very unique show in many ways, mainly in the plot itself and the way the author tackles the romance. An easy to binge watch.

This show is one of those shows which might be considered absolutely phenomenal by certain people or unusual and interesting at best by others. But one thing is that it's unique. Which makes it very memorable. If you like time travel, you'll definitely enjoy this. It has a unique take on it, traveling through photos, which adds a secondary theme of the importance of memories and the people we shared them with. It is a core theme of the show. All of the episodes are interesting, the cliffhangers keep the viewers on edge, the animation and the artstyle are amazing, the music is extremely fitting
...
and extremely catchy, and the show itself might start in a lighthearted way but it's a really emotional show at it's core, tying into it's themes. Not only that, but it deals with realistic and relatable topics (abuse at workplace, quarrels with close people, and more) which makes the emotional parts even sadder. I absolutely recommend it, it's one of the few shows which I have not gotten bored with and still follow.
