Ten Count
Both men have their own fucked up childhoods in someway or another that made them who they are today. I love how long it took for them to actually be together because it was so much more believable than just doing sexual stuff off the back or three chapters in. The development was good. I was a bit confused at the end. To me it ended too abruptly, but maybe it’s because I’m used to ends that feel like an ending. Like, the couple gets together, or something official is stated. It kinda had that vibe, but maybe I just need to reread it to understand. This one is available to buy in English, must buy!!
Raising a child and falling in love
Plot is adorably cute, I wish we were able to see Jun and Jihwoo establish their relationship more. It’s a shonen ai, so I wasn’t expecting anything more than fluff. But I get that they are raising a baby together so there isn’t much time for that unlike off her BL that doesn’t include children. Super cute story, not a fan of the art style, but idc, I can’t wait for season 3!
Mr. 100% Perfect
I love the smooth transition from the main characters to the side characters while adding more to the plot. It seems as though the rest of the story will be about what would have been the side characters from the beginning of the story, but it works really well of course and adds to the story since it’s becoming about their relationship and social life.
Blue Lust
I really love the tragic pasts Hayato and Souma had. I enjoyed the conflicting connection from Hayato’s guilt from his past towards the initial start of his relationship with Souma. It was touched upon well more than once and the whole story just seem very realistic with the drama and emotions. I love the ending and seeing them as adults, even for one chapter, was satisfying.
Alien In My Closet
Sooo cute! I love that their somewhat of a love triangle without it being a basic messy love triangle. I love the concept too, the plot is not overly complicated and it’s refreshing too seeing how it’s about an alien rather than a vampire or beast creature.
Raion Gotoki no Kuni Kara
So fucking cute. I love that Luca is an actual foreigner from Africa and lived in a village and a city. Many people see Africa as some desolate plains of hot sand and tribes. There are of course many tribes and countries in Africa, but also large cities with modern privileges. I also LOVE Makoto was not ignorant to Luca being from Africa. He looked up info in his culture and showed no distaste or confusion towards it. I just so appreciate the African introduction. Typically the dark or black person is of some made up world or some mythical humanoid (vampire, demon, etc.), it’s so nice to just see a dark skinned person from Africa.
Kantoku, Nekona Ore wa Dame desu ka
Loved everything about it. Two different stories, not connected from what I can tell. Such cute stories!
A Thousand Cranes
Hands down one of my favorite BL manhwa. Not only is it sweet af without it being overly cringe all the time, the plot is amazing!! It’s flavored like a yaoi or BL, but the taste is so refreshing and just PERFECT! Dean wasn’t at all how a crime boss person would be. His backstory was sad and wild for him being raised by a gangster leader father, but it wasn’t poorly done. The whole relationship was 100% consensual!! Omg! The sex wasn’t really viewable (like no genitalia was drawn) but it was all consensual from both parties and it acntuallh took a while for it to happen. There were no deals of ‘you can stay here, but you gotta clean, cook, and suck me off’. NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Dean was so tragically precious that I fell for him too. It was quite easy to even though we know he is murderer. I think it’s because we only know of 3 people he has killed, but have seen the suffering his goes through on the daily because of his upbringing in a murdering profession. We can sympathize with that a lot more than his victims. I knew I was gonna love this just based on the title. I did think that he or Craig was gonna die at some point because they both seemed so tragically lost, but remembering the tags, tragedy wasn’t one of them lol a definite ♾/10 from me
