pluviophiliac's Manga

dude, these guys were WHOLESOME. AS. HELL. loved everything about it.

i’m only on chapter 8 thus far and my anxiety’s already peaking. MY GOD

edit: i just passed chapter 10… i take back my previous statement. NOW my anxiety’s peaking.

edit #2: i’m on chapter 34… why the fuck am i still here. this shit is wack.

edit #3: just finished it and what the fuck

bruuuh. these guys were… something else, lol. the mood was constantly super awkward—the secondhand embarrassment nearly had me #deceased a lot of the time—but they were soooo, so wholesome.

pretty cute!

i loved this one. it had some great character development!

fucking amazing, lol. and super funny!!!

This was simply wonderful!

Where to even start? (I’ll keep it short...) I loved getting to see these characters slowly grow into this beautiful, wholesome couple. (A true slow-burn.) Not only that, but the way they grew as individuals, too... Even the side characters!!! It was executed so nicely. It was truly a joy from start to finish. And the comedic aspects?

G O L D E N.

I live for clichés. Especially well-written ones. The art was spectacular, too! I’ve got nothing bad to say about it. And, well, to sum things up, I’m so glad I found this one. I’ll definitely be rereading it one day!

bruh... i don’t think i have the words to express how i feel about this one. for starters, i’m completely split. on one hand, the characters were both SUPER. FUCKING. SHITTY. initially, and they behaved accordingly for quite some time, too. they treated each other like trash, taking out their anger and insecurities on each other—especially our ML who repeatedly RAPED our main girl—and they certainly didn’t know about the contemporary art of communication, so that was incredible frustrating. all throughout, i just kept thinking about how they could’ve avoided literally EVERYTHING that happened if they’d only talked to each other. just one conversation could’ve been enough!!! even a question or a longing look probably would’ve done the trick just the same. whatever. ughhhh!!! so many wasted years for such bullshit reasons… and so many unnecessary tears in the process, man. i was so ticked off, i’m telling you! fucking hell.

but, here’s my dilemma: once they actually started to open up to each other and laid all the cards on the table, their WHOLE dynamic switched and they instantly became this sweet, loyal, wholesome couple. and i understood it, because it made sense given the context and their (previously) unspoken dedication towards each other. i can’t believe i’m actually saying this, but i was genuinely shipping them by the end of things—despite everything. i just figured, if both of them could move forward despite all the shit they put each other through, why can’t i? in the end, they’re happy. (clearly.) so, it’s whatever… but yeah. i originally gave this a 3 star rating—SOLELY because of their respective character development and initial admiration for their devotion to each other, but now i feel kinda weird about it; almost as if i’m promoting domestic violence and abusive relationships—which i don’t support or condone, AT ALL. aaaand, it’s even worse knowing how shitty of a story this truly is at its core; therefore, it definitely doesn’t deserve 3 stars. (not even close.) i ended up giving it 1/5 stars in the end. i feel it makes the most sense overall.

anyway. i’m rereading this on bilibili comics, and the manhua’s pretty damn censored there. thinking i’ll just reread it over here instead to fully grasp all the abuse she suffered through... sheesh.
