pluviophiliac's manga / #awkwardness overload(564)

No Scope

Ongoing | zoyang | 2019 released

so good!!! and so different from all the other gaming comics i’ve read. i really appreciate the realism of all these introverted characters and socially ‘flawed’ gamers especially. it’s quite refreshing! the fact that there’s clear character development and growth is a huge bonus for me. and i loooove how their personalities match their ages! especially doyoon who’s really socially awkward, naive and has poor self-esteem like a lot of teenagers his age. he’s really not a typical MC for these kinds of comics! i find him extremely relatable, to be honest. once again—IT’S SO REFRESHING!!! i’m really, really enjoying this manhwa, guys. obviously, i’m super stoked for future updates!!!

bruh… this is getting more toxic by the minute now. the fuck happened? 0.o anyway, it’s been a couple of weeks since that ^ comment up there, and the manhwa has, since then, been completed. things were eventually solved and they seem happy now! honestly, i never would’ve thought we were this close to the end unless i’d seen it said ‘epilogue’ beforehand. sheesh…

I want to do it, even if it hurts

i love this!!! so damn lovely! a really, really great story. unlike many of these manhwas i read, this one felt a lot more realistic than the usual romance; emotionally, that is. it was a nice (albeit minor) change of pace. excellent character development as well! i’ll be in the lookout for any other graphic novels by these creators in the future.

His House

Complete | YOO Ha Jin | 2014 released

man, this one has me split. i’m an open-minded person, so all things considered, i didn’t mind the outside at all. at long as they’re happy! i only wish there’d been more emotional depth—that would’ve allowed me to give it a five star rating, i think.

It's Not Like That (Gangto)

Complete | Gangto / Lime | 2000 released

Wholesome as hell, lol. It was ridiculously awkward back in the day, too… I remember having quiiite a few anxiety attacks caused by all the second hand embarrassment, haha. Still, I’m low-key a masochist, so things like that keep me engaged and committed for sure. The story ended up being somewhat shorter than I’d originally hoped for, but that’s alright! It was a fair conclusion nonetheless. I’ll be looking forward to the upcoming side stories, though! I have no idea what these few bonus chapters will be about, bull it’ll be nice either way.
