Tai's manga / #Comedy(92)

just finshed it and holy shit it is SO SO GOOD. Just such a well written sophisticated story with actually erotic sex scenes? and genuinely moving love story? and its like incredibly funny and full of ADORABLE dogs and SURPRISE LESBIAN MOMS???gaaaaah. i cant wait for this woman's next project. this really just hit every one of its marks. from art, to story, to characters just A+++ (there's really only two other BL stories that rly moved and impressed me as much as this one and its Blood Bank and Man of Virtue, tho imo i think i was most impressed with the artwork from Wolf in the House. like BB is prettier to look at but when it came to conveying things like atmosphere and emotion there was just something so cinematic and evoccative about the way the artist used color and the lack of color and shadow in the comic. whereas BB is more anime style. Wolf almost had this great neo noir vibe half the time. this rly was somehow two genre of romance in ONE story and it actually WORKS. instead of one feeling out of place? like part neo noir, part paranormal romance, part romcom and part dog meme this comic truly does have it All. (also where is my Khalifa spin off? just waaaat a gorgeous lady holy shit!)

this is cute and light but not exactly a must read. everyone in it is very beautiful tho. and i do enjoy it when i read it but i also dont feel compelled to keep reading it after a few chpts. its so short at 35 chpts but i've been reading this thing for over a month now cause every few chpts im distracted by something else much more interesting. that said it feels wrong rating it only 2 stars when its so genuinely sweet and wholesome and there isnt anything in particular that bothers me about it? unlike when i rate stuff 2 stars its usually cause i kept reading it in spite of my better judgement lol. but this one rly is quite pleasant. i just wish i cared more about anything that was going on in it at any given time.... (also for a comic named Make me Bark with a guy in a collar on the promo image...there is not neaaarly enough pet play going on. this is false advertising ill have you know!!)

another short and sweet (and smutty!) one for the archives. this one coulda been longer, since one of the leads is implied to be kind of a...sociopath? not in the secret serial killer super scary way. but more like he cant process or feel emotion the way neurotypical people do. i thought this take was very refreshing cause no every human being with this kind of psychology automatically becomes a monster. (and there's PLENTY of peope who arent DSM certified sociopaths that ARE monstrous.) anyway this is not even a big factor in their dynamic nor do we even find out about it until the second to last chpt. but there's def plenty of signs that he's kinda....Off before that reveal. anyway he's a sadist in the way i like, rather than enjoying causing pain both physical and mental, he more just likes to play games and takes alot of enjoyment out of the reactions he can elicit in others. he's also gorgeous tbqh! hes got both the Typical "seme" traits and some more distinctive traits that makes him more than a cliche. same with the one occupying the "uke" role in this story. i will say it seems like it'll be some kind of psychological thriller briefly or at least involve alot of fucked up sex but instead its mostly kind of eccentric? and ultimately pretty...wholesome? it was def not what i expected! and in such a popular genre full of boring cliches and overused tropes. its always nice to read something thats not quite like anything else you've read prior. so i rec this but i do have a caveat which is that once the dark haired guy's true self is revealed to our blonde cocky rich boy bottom...he is like OMG...and then just accepts it. i mean he's more open minded than i would be in his position lol. maybe if the series was longer we would've gotten actual fallout from that reveal but anyway it was still a fun read tbh.

this is genuinely such a fun and sexy story? and once the romance aspect kicks in its also incredibly sweet. and as always i give extra points when we get some Surprise! Lesbians in the supporting cast. i highly recommend this its one of my fave omegaverse stories and i wish it was longer tbh. but like this is the ONLY omeverse i've seen where the couple switches. like it shouldnt be a big deal but imo it is. the idea that ur secondary sex determines what position u like in bed is a bit...like why does that decide ur Role? or ur personality traits? the omega in this story is macho, cool, charismatic and incredibly rich. he would be an alpha in ANY other story but not in this one! meanwhile the actual Alpha passes as a dopey beta boy who gets roped into the omega's bad boy shenanigans only to turn out to not be so hapless and harmless himself. he's still a sweetheart and a very loving doting partner. cant ask for better tbh. omegaverse done well! its rarer than you think.

i sure have mixed feelings about this one. like the main couple is rly more of a 2 star story to me. rather its the secondary couples and characters that rly make this interesting. and their story is mostly in the sides. and the main couple becomes alot more lovable in the sides as well. to the point that i felt like the story i got in the main series was not only much weaker but practically by a different author when compared to the far better written and complex relationship dynamics present in the Sides. which rly worked more like a spin off series than just addendums to the main story. anyway its weird cause ic ant rly rec this work cause of the extremely problematic main story that also traffics in alot of the usual unfortunate BL tropes (yall know the ones) and none of it is sexy enough to make me handwave or ignore the problematic af parts of it. however it IS kind of necessary to at least skim the main story to have the context and setup to fully appreciate the side stories which i DO highly recommend. tho they arent without flaws ofc. its def worth reading whereas the main story on its own would be completely disposable (and unpleasant). there's so much warmth and sweetness present in the main couple in the side stories that we never rly got in the main storyline and its baffling to me. in conclusion i liked this alot better than Love is an Illusion and this version of the main couple that makes an appearance in the sides of This comic are also alot more interesting to me than their incarnations in LIAI. in conclusion I hate some of the things she made the main couple blonde dude do in the main series but he sure was a sight to behold. which is to say very hot. too bad he was like a volatile scary bully who spent most of the main series terrorizing his love interest cause thats sexy i guess? (i guess comparatively Dojin in LIAI is less problematic...but he kinda sucks too so. at least i cant accuse this story of being boring considering what a time bomb the Top was...)

its vanilla het and a typical office romcom that you'd find in a kdrama but in webtoon format. its super light and breezy reading and it doesnt even have ANY sex in it so why am i reading it? cause everyone in this is GORGEOUS. i love how the artist draws everyone, esp the guys are really beauitful to look at. and the main girl in particular is stupid amounts of gorgeous. anyway the story is generally enjoyable tho. its not esp offensive or esp exciting but i am intrigued enough to keep reading. EDIT: im on chpt 82 now and Tapas is a few chpts ahead of that. the series is completed now at 102 chpts on its official korean site. but yeah tapas will be finished with this series in another month tops because it releases 3 (yes THREE) chpts per week! what a gift that is. anyway this series has grown on me even more. i just like everyone in it and i cant say that for most things i read. and everyone is still insanely gorgeous like wtf. i would pay this woman so much money to draw porn for me...ahem. anyways, def check it out! (be sure to look for the right chapter on mangago, since the first 100+ are a bad translation of the chinese cuts of the series. The proper releases from tapas are also on mangago now but u need to scroll for them)

um wow i LOVE this? its def the most fun omegaverse i've read. and tbh it rly feels like a story about two ridiculous teen boys falling in love that just happens to be set in omegaverse. its so funny and sweet and super sexy and dare i say? roomaaaantic. tsugumi joins the super short list of omegas and or "ukes" who are NOT to be fucked with. he's a force of furious nature that is more than a match for the fairly strong himself Megumi. but..he's also a total blockhead lol. i love him so much. and megumi is a true gentleman even in the face of a wild dog in human form like tsugumi. aall he wants is to shower his boyfriend with love but his boyfriend is a madman and a fool so...its hard. anyway i highly rec this one folks.

this is so silly and so wholesome and also rly smutty at the same time. its about as light a read as u can get but it doesnt leave a bad taste in my mouth like some other porn with barely a plot that i can name rn...istg the mangakas put way more effort into even the dumbest BLs than any TL manga i've seen so far. and ive seen alot now. (also why are the actually interesting looking guys always in the yaoi and not in the het stuff? conversely i find myself gravitating to the japanese bl more these days cause there's a bit more variation in body types and appearance than there is in the korean bl webtoons. altho there's some great bl webtoons. at least there's also some great josei style smutty webtoons too.....japan pls..where is ur good het smut? i KNOW it exists!!! so WHERE IS IT?). anyway go ahead and read this if ur bored and want a giggle with ur fap material idk.

it's....fine? like dude isnt great but he's not a total jerk either? he's snippy and obnoxious one second and then doting and passionate the next. driving the poor female lead bananas. but im still reading it so what do i know? anyway the FL is stuck with alot of the usual tropes that make up the typical ladies of these types of TL stories, BUT she does have an actual personality most of the time so thats refreshing lol. and he's def not always the one in control in the relationship even if he's the one in control during their sex acts altho props to him for not penetrating her before she's good and ready or before they decided to confess feelings? i mean by the standards of Smut thats practically prince like behavior~ tho it is weird that EVERY single sex act they engage in seems to be in his dressing room?? honestly its saving grace is that its so short. the art is rly nothing special tho i suspect its cut up tatekomi format didnt do it any favors. even prettier manga are ruined by that treatment (they were drawn in full pages of panels for a REASON!!). tbh i should give it 1 star but i didnt hate it enough to justify it. this was beyond mediocre. neither very offensive nor particularly sexy or memorable. basically dont bother unless u RLY have nothing else to read lol.

i dont have a ton to say about this except that i quite liked it. its not anything too special but its fairly sexy and sweet albeit the guy's in this arent rly My Type so to speak. (looks wise anyway). i dont have anything esp negative to say about it or positive. i think it woulda benefited from being a bit longer but im also fine to see it end where it did. its the very model of a B grade work. (worth reading! but not a Must read). this manga can also be purchased or rented on Renta's english site (erenta!). im definitely more fond of Yurishima's other work (currently on coolmic) Guro Gyaru ni Natte Kara which i refuse to call by its english name (but the literal translation would...not have worked either tbf lol). unfortunately that one is only available in the vertical scrolling aka tatekomi format which i hate! it cuts up full manga pages into individual panels, enlarges said panels and then releases chpts that are only 9 pages out of say 30 page chpt. its not coolmic doing this, they just translate it. it just sucks that renta couldnt get to it first and release it in its book aka manga format instead.) anyway this has a cold aloof bottom and a more lively warm top so thats always refreshing to me. i want to say its friends to lovers but...they werent rly friends? more like acquiantences? idk. its cute. read it if ur bored.
