Very wholesome, short but sweet.
I agree the most wholesome I read (as far as I know) of harada
Exactly! It's so unexpected considering we're talking about Harada.
Right??? Like its hard to believe this wholesome manga is the created by the same author of niichan and I didn’t realize it was from harada till later on. Oh but no hate on harada if that what it seems like, all his works are very unique and interesting:)
I always thought stories involving BDSM where one partner isn't into it, are uncomfortable but this manhwa completely changed my mind. It turned this concept into a mental conflict due to the Vanilla Uke liking the Dom Seme and putting up with it.
First off the art...it is to die for!! It's been a while since I was so impressed, the arrangement of the panels, the linework, the symbolism (like cracked pieces)...everything is simply astonishing!
I can't even describe how much I love it!
The subject is treated with respect and even educational for newcomers probably.
Oh and the dynamic between those two, finally not a psychotic and obsessed Seme and the Uke is so likeable as well! He's mature enough to handle the subject but also a victim to his feelings, he's cute but not whiny or annoying.
I love how them being gay and the whole DS/SM relationship isn't treated as embarrassing but accepted by those involved.
GAH I could go on and on about how much I'm addicted to this!
Just the whole story, it's so fresh and doesn't drift into the cliche troupes much, this is officially one of my all time favorite now!
I could read 100+ chapters and not get bored~
OMG I just found out the raws are up to chapter 71, hell yess, I wish I could read Korean tho!
REALLY??
Yes! Here's a link: https://tkor.mobi/APORIA-%EC%95%84%ED%8F%AC%EB%A6%AC%EC%95%84
Omggggg thnku so so much! I was searching for such a long time ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
No problem, glad to be of help ;3 <3
Seven-ty-one??
Omg this is so wholesome and adorable, I mean there is some romantic tension so I need a sequel once they're both adults (≧∀≦)
Omg thank god I read the comments here, I was about to drop this whole manhwa if the stepbrother ended up with the Uke, like he has a boyfriend, I wanna see their relationship recover not some "incest" sideline!
As a BDSM enthusiast myself, this was incredibly hot.
Especially the double penetration! How often do we see that? Rarely and that's why this is such a gem!
And I like the story so far, not the typical cliche since the Uke has actual spice and the work colleague isn't just a love rival, only relevant to the plot for a few chapters, he seemed chill.
10/10 I need more!
We need more stories like this. I'm jelly of all the subs ╥﹏╥
I LOVED that they didn't do the stereotypical rival story with the coworker top! I liked him a lot!!
This is amazing and so interesting! I love the world and story + art!
It's sad that it was discontinued, I believe it was said somewhere that it was finished...so don't get your hopes up.
Yup... I reread this for like the 6th time, still got hope it’s only been a week but I can’t waitttt
Yeah I'd be awesome if another chapter came out but I believe it was finished sadly....this always happens once I grow attached to a manga (´╥ω╥`)
Wait what’s finished, this manga? Wait they just left it like that??? Or is there more but no one translated it yet? Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
I searched for raws all over and apparently it was confirmed by the author that it was complete.
I actually reread it a lot but it still feels like wasted potential, maybe it wasn't as financially successful and then dropped? Happens a lot and it's quite sad for both the author and the readers. (I remember Bloody Junkie which I absolutely loved but it was discontinued due to this as well, hurts to see)
The hope is VERY slim that the author picks it up again but who knows? I certainly hope they do!
Wait so when he declared it was completed... it completed like this? Like thats it?!? I AGREEE! There’s so much potential for this manga, like I have so many questions, why leave it here :,) I hope that he does pick it up I also read black haze and the author dropped it and started working on a new one- man it’s so sad when they do, they could’ve at least just end it quick(it doesn’t even have to make sense) I just need to feel fulfilled yk
My exact same thought, it just didn't feel complete at all!
Like what's the point of world building and introducing the hunt if it's gonna be over so quickly? T^T
That just makes it more likely that it was forcefully dropped due to low sales.
Same! Rushed endings tend to be bad but at least conclude everything especially if your next project is a success so you're financially well
AhhHh sorry for such a late response, I didn’t realize that you reply back until I reread the manga again and look through the comments and you got a point, like how can you lead the readers to such a interesting plot and leave it there, and how can this have low sales, it’s so good YEs YES! Who cares if the ending is bad it’s better than nothing, rushed? I’ll take it just please I needa know what happens next
Wow, I just discovered this manga!
I'm so glad I was late for once lol, y'all have been waiting a long time and speculating it seems.
Not sure how to feel about the reveal but I'm also glad it wasn't the grams, wouldn't have made sense look wise too.
But it's sad that he uses to be the granddad's lover :/
The art is absolutely amazing tho and I like how the story progressed.
Ngl the good story drifted away (right after their first time) and it got somewhat worse each week, this is just my personal opinion tho.
Having Nakyum now question his love for Seungho is an amazing plot idea but it's baseless, just like his sister said, it's Stockholm Syndrome if anything.
If Nakyum had a bit more of a stronger personality and less of a victim one, the author could've really made this internal conflict work!
Tbh I would be more excited if it was Nakyum who had developed feelings way before or heck even if he was a large M and about to discover his kink in getting abused by Seungho.
i agree, and it's starting to feel like the only personality the author has assigned nakyum is to be a meek victim. there's really no depth to it.
Man, 100% agreed. This one has clearly crossed the line I think. Nakyum only sees himself as a victim, he did not take back even some moments of resurgence, which would have made chapter 68 much more different than what it is now.
Don’t want to say this, but at this point, I feel the author is stretching this story unnecessarily with the same rehashed idea. Even readers will drop it if this goes on
Exactly! I love power bottoms tbf but even any kind of personality would've been amazing.
Nakyum was sorta moody and had an alcohol addiction in the beginning which made him interesting to watch in interactions with Seungho but all of that is suddenly gone.
They didn't even explain yet why he draws erotic paintings of men and why he's so good at it, he feels so bleak rn.
YES! Him explaining he might love Seungho feels so fake although if you had skipped every chapter after 20, and gone to 68 it could've had an impact.
The story telling was imply lacking and Nakyum had no moments of character growth to really question himself, he sorta goes with the narrative "my abuser loves me, oh I love him too now lol".
Yeah it gets really boring and I feel like the payback won't even be satisfying at this point, the whole kidnapping was terrible too! I actually wish they had done something to Nakyum, not because I hate him but what was the point then? Just dragged out the story and accomplished nothing except trust issues?
Srsly, now that u mentioned it, it’s coming back to me faintly. Imagine! the author managed to make readers forget all that. There is no way that nakyum especially started drawing erotic gay paintings out of the good of his heart & artistic talent alone. He definitely drawn at a personal level. And for gods sake, that stupid sister of his! Why is she reminding him of in-Hun again. That fella is a utter homophobic snake!! And nakyum n in-Hun did not even leave on good terms! ughh!
