Tai's manga / #Adult(46)

i technically havent finished this. im like mostly done? just gonna leave it up here though. the older i got the less tolerance i had for all the ero-guro stuff in it (and that endless prison arc jfc). like not tryin to kinkshame u Samura but like...what the fuck my dude?

i really enjoyed this webtoon and highly recommend it! It has 3 (and eventually 4) couples and one of my fave female leads in a webtoon period. altho it can be quite smutty it also has alot more story and dialogue than sex scenes. so if u just want a parade of filth then this might not hit the spot but if u want a good helping of romance with ur naughty scenes then this should hit the spot! (the art did take me some getting used to tho, it does get alot better as it goes on but yeah i wasnt a fan of it at first and its why i put off starting it so long). anyway this is all very consensual MINUS some dubcon elements (the sex is consensual but not all acts involved are fully consented on, rather its kinda...heavily pressured on the guy). basically almost all the problematic elements are in the femdom couple. which was also the least well developed or realistic of the couples just cause of how over the top the guy was and how disinterested the woman was in even attempting to communicate with him. tbf her intention wasnt romantic or to be a couple at first so...yeah. it didnt Offend me and i did love her whole "im a cool sardonic tall girl" vibe but it was frustrating to see how their relationship was more a source for comedy than actual romance or relationship exploration. they work it out in the end tho so i guess its fine? lol. no complaints at all about the other 3 couples tho. we even get the CUTEST MOST WHOLESOME GL couple in this story among the 4 couples. but yeah all the female charas are great and i woulda recced this just for them tbh.

i can never decide if i actually like studio stellas art style or not but it is distinctive i will give them that. neway this toon was such a trashy soap opera but i enjoyed that. i dont rec it and i dont not rec it? the sex scenes are sexy tho. ill say and she def ended up with the right guy

picked this up on a whim and holy shit this is so compelling? and also extremely sexy damn. one of the best BL comcis i've ever read. its such a damn shame the side stories or sequels to this story never happened and the author herself seems MIA from making comics for the last 3 years. anyway i loved this from start to end. it was sexy, it was romantic, it was thrilling, it even made me tear up once. it had great worldbuilding and lore. if it was lacking anything it was that like most BL it had almost zero women with speaking lines in it but otherwise it was just A+ work. and i seriously bummed that this webtoon artist has neither made sequel stories or a new comic period in the time since this one ended. truly a loss! hope she's doing ok. in the meantime im so gladi got to read this. and highly recommend it even to people who dont care for BL that much. (also the art is so vibrant and fluid and i loved the steampunk aesthetic it had going too.) anyway, im sad its all over now but at better a nice ending than a story that runs way longer than it needs to. also this is the best depiction of a bdsm style realtionship i've seen so far in any comic that features them. just really dived into the psychological aspects of it instead of just using the imagery for some kinky thrills. and then ofc there was a genuinely moving love story woven thru it too. cant say ive seen that pulled off so well before. anyway this work was A level and the sex scenes actually furthered the character arcs and relationship. and thats also what made them so entertaining to watch. (i would tbh read another 50 chpts of this story easily. why is it always the good comics that arent 100s of chpts long?)

well goodness that was a Ride. there's alot of cyclical thoughts and dialogue on here. its a bit exhausting to read at times. its very dark and fucked up but not scary or nauseating the way killing stalking is. just a very different vibe despite the really creepy beginning. they both need massive psychiatric help tbh but since this is fiction i couldnt help but want those two crazy kids to work it out somehow and then they do! yay? ngl its a bit of an anti climactic ending. i dont think a tragic ending woulda been better just cause it woulda been patently obvious so rather smth less pitch black woulda been refreshing but this ending just felt kind of...idk flat. i think it works better if u read it all together with the final chpt, it feels like a nice reprieve from all the intense emotion and action then. also gonna be honest, didnt care about those other two criminal guys. at all. anyway gonna leave it at 4 stars tho since it was a good and sexy thriller. i think its fair to call it an erotic thriller right?

that was depressing af but also....meh? it would've had more impact if it was longer and we got to know the characters more. i feel sad for both the main characters. these kids really had to grow up too fast and were failed alot by the adults in their lives. its sad for sure but becuz so much happens offpage, via a sudden time skip of EIGHT years, we get little insight into their character growth or complexity of motivations so its hard to be as invested as i wanted to be. the ending feels rushed instead of painful and earned. anyway ramjak continues to be a webtoon creator that i have mixed opinions on. im also reading his current work right now Snowman. which is also clearly a setup for tragedy but with a less sympathetic main character so that's..something (appreciate that its full color too). anyway yall can just skip this one

the best thing i can say about this BL ero webtoon is that it has a love triangle where i can see the appeal of both guys and relationships and the sex scenes are Really hot. EDIT: caught up and looked at the newest raws (101-104) and hoo boy my mains get back together, the breakup that was long time coming finally comes, there's some fun drama involving paparazzi and jealous little shits and possible Exposure of our main pair's sordid past all culimating in a beautiful reunion and reconnection that feels earned. also 101-104 is legit just...kissing, cuddling and fucking. like ty Yeongha my fields were DYING from the drought of sexy scenes and u finally watered my crops. and by crops i mean p**** Edit Final Thoughts: a beautiful and satisfying ending to an almost perfect series. top scores here kids! can def see myself re reading this one day (but uh maybe ill skim thru half of s3 cause hoo boy did it drag in parts...)

gosh where doi start with this one? im surprised its not more popular and also Not surprised at the same time. i mean i am baffled that a 20 yr old woman NOT ending up in a relationship with a 38 yr old man at the end would be considered a bad thing by Anyone but also her actual endgame love interest is super hot so like why not? I do wish we got more of him and her together but thats clearly not that interesting to write about cause its ultimately friends to lovers and the tropes that go with that. which i dont mind! but i can see why Choe was more interest in portraying the female protaganist's first (and very sexy) love instead. while also making sure we all can rest at night knowing she's not going to ruin her life by marrying a man almost twice her age who also has a kid ffs. tbc im not big on age gaps esp when its the man that's older However i can totally understand why a younger person would want to fuck a notably older person, or have a crush on them. i just wouldnt root for them as a long term true endgame couple. it doesnt feel realistic to me as a coupling that would work irl for more than 5 yrs tops. Anyway, this is a nice coming of age josei style story with a distinctive art style and some really hot sex scenes like hoo buddy. My main complaint and why i didnt give it 5 stars is the underdeveloped and very depressing side story with the other female character in the larger cast. i just felt like we didnt need to see her suffer so much. tho im glad she got to have her first love and a cute kid by her side at the end at least. i do love that there are 3 interesting female characters and all of them are distinct from each other. Also one of them is a sexy ass butch lesbian who has a one night stand with the female lead like Damn Ms choe, way to hit me right where i live. anyway i def rec reading this just brace yourself for some sexual assault, rape and domestic violence in a couple of chapters. (most of which is tbh skippable...)

completely adorable! and a couple of guys that feel like real people and not two BL stereotypes. their little romance is so precious and feels really natural despite the kinda goofy setup. but i actually thought the "sex lessons" were in fact quite sexy and a good setup to them realizing what a good fit they are outside the bedroom too. they go on little dates to the theater and to cafes and its all very precious and couplegoals. both guys are super hot to me (often times only one of them is My Type and the other im like "well he's fine" but not in this one!) a third and equally gorgeous guy appears later on who seemed like he would cause some drama but uh...he doesnt rly lol. its a bit anti climactic. but it wasnt a big problem to me, this is pretty low stakes story but its still very enjoyable to read. however this is also why i dont have much more to say than this.
