blackjacaranda's manga / #shounen ai(123)

Chapter 1 (21 October 2014) Summary: A terminally ill patient and a mysterious boy. A boy who could absorb one's illness and turn it into his food. The seme met him in the hospital, and then he saw him being sexually harassed by a doctor. It turned out later that night when he was supposed to be asleep. He was not a human. Then, when the seme saved him from being sexually harassed by that doctor again, the uke decided to help him cure his terminal illness. He was cured, but the boy never appeared again. There were some plot holes since it is only a one shot. But really, the idea is quite interesting to be developed. What a shame. 3 3 3 3

Chapter 1 (6 January 2013) Summary: In all of his 18 year old life, Takezaki Aoi has never received any love confession. Today, suddenly... there it is. A love letter, right on top of his desk! What should he do now...? Does this mean his first love is going to be revealed? It's really good! By why does it have to be only a one shot?! This went perfectly well with the flow of the plot. Everything was planned greatly and damn it I need more. The art is really good, even with the blushing seme it still seemed okay and perfectly fine! Goodness, I need more manga like this. And no! No you can't just end it like this. I want more of their moment and story! 4.5 4 4 4.5

Chapter 1 (14 January 2011) Summary: One day, Shirou got a love confession from a pushy boy named Kuroda. Kuroda reminds him of his dog, from a long time ago. The younger student poked his heart in places he'd never suspected. Cute. Really cute. I didn't understand the story at first, but later on, their relationship showed more clearly. This one shot was well enough even though also including some unnecessary things inside. But, the ending was good. Shiro said that Kuro was like his dog, then Kuro kissed him and said that dogs would never kiss their masters. Then, they confessed. But it disturbed me how after confession they immediately had sex. Event though the scene after the sex was really funny and cute. 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5

Chapter 81 (22 December 2015) Genre: Action; Adventure; Comedy; Drama; Fantasy; Mystery; Shoujo; Shounen Ai; Supernatural Summary: Rakan lives alone, and the plants in his garden grow so thick and fast that it seems like a jungle. One day a man, holding a gun made of wood, falls right down into his garden. He seems to come from another world, and he's searching for someone who can bring back the green into his own dark and inhospitable world. Best manga ever! I had underestimated this manga since the cover looked old, but now, I realize that the quote "Don't judge a book by its cover" is really true. Yes it's super amazing. Looks like another masterpiece of a mangaka. My another favorite besides Ilegenes. But, it's different because there's a shounen ai tag here, even though they don't kiss, but their relationship is just too cute and too precious. Rakan is kind of an ordinary uke with a cute face and strong personalities. He's just too kind to other people, I wonder if there's really a person in the world like that. And Chigusa... Ah, I can't begin to describe how I adore that man. So cute. So... handsome. And so, so hot. There are a hell lot of moments between them, and fortunately, really fortunately, I screenshot them so that I could fangirl again someday. I know they love each other, romantically, and there's even words "I like you" "The one I love" "I will die with you" in this manga, and they're just making me melt. The thing is, everything about this manga is perfection. The couples: Chigusa x Rakan, Kinrei x Prince, Kazuhi x Tohji, are just so damn cute. I've got a looot of favorite characters there. I love them all. Never regret days full of reading this masterpiece. 3.5 5 5 5

Chapter 82 (7 December 2015) Genre: Adventure; Comedy; Drama; Fantasy; Shounen Ai; Supernatural Summary: Deep in a cave lies a demon trapped in ice who will eat any human who dares enter. The demon, Blood, waits for the human who will cry the purest tears, for the gem formed from those tears will break the spell that binds him. Then one day, a young man named Ishuca appears in the cave - and knowing that his weak heart will not last long, he has come to die. Touched by Ishuca's gentle nature, Blood gradually begins to change from the cruel, ice-cold demon he once was. It's really great. As expected from the creator of Silver Diamond, Sugiura Shiho is absolutely a genius. Yes I never regret reading this manga for about two weeks now since it's positively worth it. Even though at the beginning I found it boring (since the scanlations team is not really good at editing), I kept delaying reading this, but then I realize that the plot is developing really nicely. I love how every single thing is connected to the other and even the plot twist is really surprising. The art is quite consistent too. After reading the end, and then checking the first chapter again, I find not much difference in art style. Well, perhaps in the eye shapes and hairs, but overall, I've never found a manga with more than ten volumes with the consistency as much as this and Silver Diamond. The characters are all lovable even though they were evil previously. Like Nachte and Wild. They're absolutely my favorites besides Blood. But there's still something that bothers me till the end. Like how the kiss scene is kind of missing of the half-end, and how I rather dislike Blood's scar. But still, he's beautiful even with that long, golden hair. I love them all! 3.5 5 5 5

Chapter 13 (14 January 2015) Summary: A story of two half brothers, Robert and Emile met each other just three years ago when they both started working for the emperor. Robert was promoted to captain of the Royal Guard at the young age of 17, while his younger brother Emile remains a Royal Gu A cute story about a certain pair of brothers in a random Kingdom. Super cute. I think Robert and Emile's relationship is already more than so-called brothers. And their obsessiveness towards each other is just too precious to be left behind. Love it. 3,5 3 4 3,5

Chapter 35.5 (5 June 2017) It's so fucking good. I love the MC since he's an uke but strong as fuck. Yes, I can understand that he's (Taemin) is kinda a seme since he does boxing thingy. I can't wait to read the next chapters. It was so good that I read it only in some fucking mere minutes. Anyway, the seme, that white-haired dude is a hell similar to Viktor Nikiforov from Yuri on Ice. EDIT: Now Si Won is called MAD DOG since he's tough and unbeatable. But... his grades are falling and now Si Woon is appointed to teach him! Things gonna be soooo interesting! EDIT: Taemin has his suspicion on Si Woon and it's gonna be suuuper exciting. EDIT: The bonus is so darn cute meow!! 4.5 4.5 4.5 5

Chapter 71 (16 November 2016) It's reaaaally good. I've read it marathon since yesterday and it's totally worth it. I love the art since it's pretty and simple and also cute. The characters are all interesting (Especially Yuri, dammit, my new husbando!). The plot is quite complex but not over complicated so I could read it calmly and peacefully until the most recent chapter. I love how Yuri and Jaerim build their relationship oh-so-naturally and it doesn't even give any weird feeling. They're just so perfect for each other (even though Jaerim could be so annoying sometimes). Other slight pairings are cute too. For examples that cute otaku guy and that redhead delinquent. They're so cute and their story is also breathtaking and heartbreaking. So glad they finally get back together. And then there's this ex-school president and Jeehoo's brother. That's an unexpected combination and their relationship seems confusing yet painful. Jeehoo's brother is a "free" guy, isn't attached to someone and do whatever he likes. Yet I could sense something from him. I dunno. Oh well... now I remember the name is Dunno xD (no pun intended). The other pairing is that flashy handsome guy with that archery sunbae. A bit strange since basically they are only attracted to each other by looks. But not bad. I like them still. Oh well... someone said this manhwa resembles to Aitsu no Daihonmei. But in my opinion, this manhwa is way better and more realistic than that. It's not even forced and their relationship is just so natural as ever. Oh, anyway. I think the rating should be higher, at least this is no longer considered as shounen ai since there are several scenes that are too much. Kissing is alright, but French kissing and making out is something else. But, whatever. I love it so much, and I hope this will not be taken down. EDIT: Damn it chapter 71 is really killing me! I fucking hate Yuri now he's a fucking bastard! How dare he hurt Jaerim like tham OMG my baby is crying. The fuck with him telling them "ugly people who teamed up together" damn, and he accuses Jaerim of stealing his belongings. I just hope that new guy is there being a comfort to him. Damn Jaerim really needs to be protected and loved! 4 5 4.5 5

Chapter 2 (14 January 2011) Cute, the art is decent but the plot is more like a shoujo manga than yaoi. Still these two chapter hasn't had any sexy scene but overall it's cute. The seme is quite a tsundere but yea, can't help it. The uke is so much girly I thought he was a girl. So sad it is actually being dropped by the previous scanlations team, but let's hope the other scanlation who has promised to take care of this can do as promises. 3 3.5 3 3

Chapter 13 (22 November 2016) So, it was nice. The art is amazing but the story is... rather confusing and slow. The uke is a bit of an airhead and the seme is just like any other seme. The dream-theme in this manhwa is actually interesting, but the way the uke acts in reality is a bit comprehensible. But at least, this is just 13 chapters. There's still along way to go. I just need something to make them glued together dammit. Gimme more. EDIT: CHAPTER 30 WAS PERFEECCTTIIIIIOOOONNN 5 | 4.5 | 4 | 4
