Oh! Holy
this is the cutest most wholesome romance webtoon ive read so far. I would say its part shoujo highschool romance and part shounen action comic and ALL comedy. Its a bit like Rumiko Takahashi’s works if i think about it. Which is perhaps why i adored it so much. I was a big ranma fangirl back in the day but tbh i liked most of her work, and it had the usual marrying of action, romance, and comedy. like Ranma it does interesting things with gender roles albeit in a very diff way. Anyway altho it was super stinkin sweet, its also really moving and manages to feel light and fun without feeling lightweight and vapid. Furthermore the female lead is Goals and the male lead is the SOFTEST boy. Finally its absolutely hilarious and if this wasnt a korean webtoon it would prob already be an anime cause it would be perfect as one. I would say its tone also reminds me a bit of School Rumble but this one is def better to it’s main female lead but unlike Rumble, the extended cast is def less fleshed out. I do adore all the side and supporting characters but we dont really get to know some of them as much as i would have liked. Two in particular come to mind. But anyway the plot manages to feel fast moving and frantic and while it took me a few eps to catch up with its hectic and “noisy” style, once i did i was really ALL in. this is great for binging and i wonder how the pace would have felt if i’d been stuck reading it on a week to week basis while it was running. At any rate i highly recommend this, and even tho its set in a highschool the actual schooling is barely a factor (which the comic cheekily points out on several occasions). The tongue in cheek take on the many highschool romance tropes is also really fun and never feels overused. I seriously laughed so much! (and also SUCH a happy ending my heart needed this)
I'm Yours, Blood and Soul
nice and breezy quick read. kinda sad it wasnt a bit longer but also glad it didnt drag things out unnecessarily. i didnt much care about the serial killer and his weird brother uncle dad surrogate complex so (tho i did love that burly older man was the bottom. that was refreshing) but when he reappeared in the side stories his story got alot more interesting, and it even made me feel so sad! but the main couple got an adorable happy ending so it was just the right amount of sweet n sour for me. sex scenes were sexy but alas i kinda wanted there to be more....but thats more cause im a pervert i cant rly say it was a bad storytelling choice lol. anyway i do recommend this but i wouldnt call it a must read. (demon guy was super gorgeous in his demon form i wanted to see him like that more...)
Life as a Dog-Man Owner
this was adorable and fun. very short. and pretty sexy. def recommend esp if u want a hot brown dude in ur smut (there are NOT enough!). admittedly this is more for a Furry taste but as a non furry i still enjoyed it so i think its ok to rec this to the regular perverts here lol. EDIT: you can read all 5 chpts of this on renta! (u can also read them for free on uh other sites) but! im going to only mention renta as a way to assist the author. i woulda rented a chpt had i seen it on renta first but alas thats not where i discovered it. (renta rly needs to work on its algorithim tbh)
K's secret
the art is....the proportions of the guys is just giving me rly old school yaoi manga vibes and it may be that this korean artist who drew these was influenced by those mangas. koreans like manga too! lol. anyway, the story is fine and altho the proprotions are weird the expressions can be very evocative and beautifully illustrated. and i do look the coloring style as well. there's something very soft focus and dreamy about it at times. as always with these the vampire is a cute soft boy bottom im left wondering why they dont have any vampire abilities, albeit in this case he's a "half" vampire so...ya. (but like srsly no special strength nothing to show for vampirism but optional blood sucking?). anyway its a case where the paranormal aspects are hamstrung by the more mundane office life type aspects that i do NOT care for. also i almost admire the writer for just not even pretending like a boss fucking his employee isnt wildly unethical and having him flat out threaten to fire him if he doesnt date him (yikes but i guess he was only saying it to scare the guy and wouldnt Actually fire him but...nope still gross. lol). anyway the fantasy elements make this problematic start tolerable. edit: finally finished it. that was...underwhelming. like cute enough and had a few properly intense scenes but for the most part i was just like "meh" about this comic so thats the rating im giving it.
Kimi to Oishii ai no Kotoba
HIGHLY recommend this. its a short read u can finish in one sitting but it didnt feel like frustratingly short. its a very simple conflict thats solved relatively easily and at that midpoint and the rest is just cute fluff and fluff and insanely hot sex scenes. like if u like lots of affection and romance in ur sex scenes my goodness u will be pleased. i like how it was both incredibly filthy yet still so sweet? gah. and Shiro (lmao at the dark skin boy being named "white") is goooorgeous and i love how brown he is. totally my type from looks to personality. altho Makoto is very soft he doesnt feel like a bland "uke" archtype character but more like a shy awkward kid and thats in part because he feels uncomfortable with expressing his sexuality. (when he said he worried he wouldnt be able to find love and have sex cause of his being gay i was like "MY POOR SWEET BABYYY" like i totally know how he feels damn). In conclusion Sakana Tojo (i hope thats not her real name otherwise the amount of fish puns she'd have to hear...) ends her beautiful manga by calling herself a Sappy Sloppy Slow Moving Safe Romance Fetishist and thats really all you need to know!
Wolf In The House
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!)
My Special Squishy Someone
this was truly...an Experience. it was just so bizarre. it was rly kinky and perverted but also rly sweet? anyway the dream man in this story is a tentacle monster and u can bet this smut manga gets hella mileage out of that. while the female lead starts out as a wallflower she gets more agency and backbone as the story progresses. i do apprecaite that its mostly from her pov. this didnt blow me away or anything and the art is kinda standard webtoon style art. that lacks the fluidity and expressiveness of manga style art but has the benefit of nice coloring to sometimes fall back on. the coloring isnt that special here tho. nor is the style memorable or distinctive. the story is very distinctive beccause i dare say i cant htink of any other porntoon with a male love interest whose true form is a tentacle monster of unknown origin. also the female lead well she's just the lead rly, is never assaulted by him like it would be a lie to say there isnt like tentacle rape hentai shenanigans but none of them involve the main character who is treated with care and affection by tentacle man from the start. he's also very nice to look at in his human form. im easy 2 please ok. anyway this is super short and a breezy read. (it coulda honestly stood to be even shorter, or rather i woulda read another 10 chpts of them being weird and domestic together and would have been glad if the secondary guy and antagonist of sorts had fucked off way earlier than he did.) also the crazy lady who appears later on doesnt die horribly at the end which i appreciate. i mean she's a terrible person but if that shitty coworker of main character got to live then so does the crazy bitch who likes wild sex! albeit the coworker is the kind of banal dbag u can meet in real life and the female antagonist was more like a full on anime villainess. just wild. (srsly this webtoon is SO outside the box and yet strangely predictable at the same time?). ne way its decent het porntoon if u ask me but u wont be missing out on a masterpiece or anything if u skip it.
Siren's Lament
