Yamamoto-kun is a little naive but it just adds to how damn cute he is. And Kobayashi asks permission each time, what an awesome seme he is.
I dont need to sun my butt when I am depressed. I just need to re-read this adorably cute shit.
I love their relationship. No major dramas or lack of communication, just two lovely bois who love each other to bits and wants the best for each other. Makes my heart sing I tell you. Thank you to all the translators and uploaders, your hardwork is very much appreciated.
I think for the first 30 chapters my kokoro was just crying for Heejae and all the pain and misunderstanding he had to go through, poor thing. Glad things are honest and lookin up for him and Taekyung. And side couple HXFGKJHERWBV!!!! Cant wait for the popping cherry action, let's go already!!
I love Yashiro. He is truly the masterpiece of all Sensei’s character designs. So flawed and unapologetic, he is flippant in his hard-bitten cynicism. Yet he has such an unflappable, accepting persona whilst displaying a dry wit. Despite all that his vulnerability that stays under the surface is raw and painful, and you sense it as the storyline draws you in.
This manga is such a dark emotional roller-coaster of hard disillusionment, painful trauma and abuse, and yet you are compelled to keep reading, pinning hope with every volume that, even though he and Doumeki may perhaps never see a true HEA, you cant help but just want to see the best possible outcome romantically for them.
Storyline is great - lots of lovely smexy fluff, no major drama, supportive characters, great romance. The real MVP is Gyoon for me. I wish we had another 2-3 chapters of him and Jihye as a side story after they went overseas together. But honestly, this was just a great read! Totally recommend you pick this up to read after finishing some angsty drama.
Their relationship development stumbles and fumbles and is sweet and adorable in turn. They are both awkward and slightly tsundere, a little wary and prickly so it makes a great brew of a story!
I liked how the start made me completely hate on Taehyun, but he grew on me the more I read on his back-story. I didnt forgive him, but I understood him better. I liked how their relationship grew - pacing was good. Dayeol was never submissive and weak, he stood his ground in his own way whilst falling in love. I especially like the bittersweet OPEN ending. I think this is important as Taehyun has so much emotional shit to sort out first to give the relationship a good grounding and start.
Sooner or later, you will be reminded of it and wish to read it again, and drown yourself once more in all the feelings it gave you. Hollow Lovers is most definitely in that category for me. It ticks off so many positive boxes - both MCs attractive and charismatic in their own right, awesome character growth for both, consensual sex at all times, strength and tenacity thru personal trials, and an honest deep abiding love and sense of togetherness thru it all. An absolute masterpiece I shall revisit many times over.
it's the type of manga you don't think you want, but really need.
Yasss, exactly.
It will stay with me long after I read it. The beauty of how it flowed - from plot establishment, to both MC's emotional awakening to the Sunday resolution - ahh. They fell in love within 7 days. I fell in love within 13 chapters.
Terashima and Narasaki are now one of my fave BL couples. I luv their wholesome relationship growth - how they jibe and bicker, to how they flirt and blush with each other. And oh my, that gap moe of Chika! This unsociable bookworm turns into such a hawt banging seme! Its such a dem turn on, bahaha. Love this. Full stars from me, cant wait for volume 5!!
