Blood Bank

Complete | silb | 2015 released

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?)
