pluviophiliac's manga / #steamy level 69696(588)

this one is TOP NOTCH smut, y’all. it’s ridiculously hilarious at that!!! i’ve read it twice and i have zero regrets, lol. i loved it both times!

I didn’t even notice that I hadn’t marked this as ‘completed’ once i did, in fact, complete it back in July. Either way, it’s most definitely ONE. OF. MY. FAVORITE. YAOI. GRAPHIC. NOVELS!!! (As of late 2021, at least.) Fucking hell, y’all. The sex was so hot I thought I’d die pretty much throughout the whole thing, fuck. I kinda miss it… It’s been almost six months since the last time i read it, sheesh. I still remember it as if it was yesterday! I might actually go back and reread it soon. I remember really liking its conclusion, too. I enjoyed the (toxic) dynamics between our two mains, but I especially liked how it’d thoroughly changed by the time we reached the end of the story. It kept me captivated, that’s for sure!!! By the way, these were my notes while I was actively reading it: “i’m simping for vasya so. very. hard. (yes, i have issues.) but FUUUUCK MEEEE, HE’S SO FUCKING ATTRACTIVE!!! i literally start to get wet every single time he opens his mouth. GAAAAWD.” I guess it should tell y’all something, lololol. This was a good introduction story for me when it comes to unhealthy relationships, violence and toxicity. I’d never really entertained the thought before this, but maaan, it set the bar. Especially considering I’ve read more graphic novels with similar tropes, characters and characteristics than I can count on all my limbs at this point in time… and this one is still among the top few in which I can recall most details vividly and explicitly. Amazing. Anyway, you guys should definitely check this one out if you happen to enjoy violence, RIDICULOUSLY hot mafia men, as well as hot, steamy sex. Low-key getting wet just thinking about it, FML. (TMI but IDC.) Later skater!!! edit: by now, it’s mid 2023, and i’ve read this twice… and i’m definitely still a fan. it was a lot shorter and than i remembered, though… and kinda emotionally lacking, too?? like, their yoon’s feelings literally came out of nowhere all of a sudden. the whole thing felt kinda rushed because of that aspect, but other than that, i don’t really feel the need to add much to my previous review. (vasily’s smirk still gets me all hot and bothered, lololol.) still, to be fair, it’s been nearly three years since my first rodeo, and i’m bound to have much more ‘material’ to compare this manhwa to, no? so yeaaaah, i can’t really say that it’s all that ‘steamy’ compared to all the others things i’m reading these days. if anything, their smut’s actually pretty tame… graphically speaking, i mean. i do love me some intricately graphic sex. ;) but anywayyyy, that’s about it.

ughhh, these twoooo. i miss them. there haven’t been any updates in ages… it’s still amazing, though. i’m patient enough to stick around!

my god, i completely forgot that i hadn’t actually finished this one yet. i need to get back to work!!! edit: …i can’t believe i actually forgot how fucking hot the smut is in this one. the hell?! man, i’m already horny. sheesh.

By now it’s been a few months since I finished this manhwa—about three months, to be precise—hence I won’t dive into ‘details’ in order to avoid any kind of misrepresentation, but I do remember enjoying it from start to finish. The art was great, the plot was entertaining enough and the dynamic between the characters kept me hooked. The sex freakin’ KILLED. ME. DEAD. It was so hot. Overall, I really enjoyed it! Wouldn’t rule out the idea of me perhaps rereading it at some point in the future. - - - - - edit: it’s now been almost three years since i read this manhwa, and by now, i’ve read HUNDREDS of yaoi comics. this one’s definitely not considered to be among the best ones anymore, lol. i browsed through the chapters quickly (looking for smut ‘cause i was horny), and, well… opinions really DO change. i mean, it’s by no means ‘bad’ smut… it’s just not as good as i made it out to be initially. their whole relationship felt kinda weird in retrospect, too… sheesh. anyway, i only chose this one in particular this fine tuesday evening because i remembered our main characters were (kind of?) a switch-couple and i needed something spicy to get me going, but ohhhh well. had to browse through another one in order to finish myself off, lol. didn’t really live up to my expectations, unfortunately. (TMI, but #yolo, man.) definitely wish there’d been more sexy scenes overall, though... so that was a shame. anyway, i know i’m trash. don’t judge me. R.I.P.

I am OBSESSED with this comic. So much so that I ended up reading it twice within the course of six weeks—long before it could even be marked as finished! Definitely one of my favorite yaoi manhwas to date. Not only is the smut RIDICULOUSLY good, but the dynamic between the characters and their loyalty to each other was really quite wholesome. It’s simply great! The story actually quite surprised me. I never expected we’d be introduced to a second duo, nor that I’d end up liking them just as much as our OG couple! If not more than those two, honestly And the third—and last—season truly was the cherry on top for me. Loved seeing our babies happy and ambitious and sweet and cooperative with each other. The best of both worlds, really! (Side-note #1: Kangha and Kyuho fucking OWN me, shiet... Side note #2: For your information, so does Gunhyung and Seunguhn. Don’t know why I felt the need to say that.) I made a few minor notes while reading this, and I thought I’d post them here ‘cause why the hell not, lol. Wouldn’t say it’s remarkable work, but at least it’s authentic. They’re cute! “i’m ridiculously excited for the third season. i can’t deal. this’ll be great!” “edit: just finished reading 146 and i’m SQUEALING!!! fucking finally, i’m so excited!” “edit #2: this is just all wholesomeness at this point. i’m pretty much swooning every other chapter. <33” “edit #3: but yes, the smut is STILL top tier. fucking hell, lol. this ain’t good for my underwear.” Haha. Thought it was kinda funny, so there ya go!!! But anyway, I genuinely loved this. Didn’t expect I would initially, but it’s always a nice surprise when the tides turn! Will probably reread it again at some point, too. (No a lot of room for doubt in that regard, really.)

man, i’ve missed this. it’s been so long since i read this that i’ll probably reread it once i decide to continue. it’s been FOREVER. anyway, i’m looking forward to it!

heh, kinda miss this one. will reread in full!!!

this shit is fucking wild and i’m LOVING it. edit: can season 2 launch, like, right now??? please????? edit #2: I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF SEXY AND FUNNY, Y’ALL. this shouldn’t happen!!! this shit just keeps getting better and better each chapter. kinda feels like i’m on an everlasting high, lol. (not that i’d know what that feels like, but it’s whatever.) this duo is just perfect. splendid. i love them together!!! and the art is simply gorgeous. i can’t see any flaws. none whatsoever. #blessed edit #3: just finished chapter 39 and i’m literally holding in my screams as we speak, lmfao. they’re just the best duo, my god. i love how comfortable they are with each other now, too! it’s just as kinky as it is wholesome. just get married already!!! everyone’s waiting. edit #4: it’s over… and so is my life. i’ve loved every minute of this one, truly. ABSOLUTELY A 10/10 RATING, ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. ALWAYS. i’ll definitely be rereading it at some point as well. if it’s not already obvious at this point: the smut is next level INCREDIBLE, seriously… the number of times i’ve used this shit as masturbation material is just… embarrassingly high at this point. it’s actually kind of concerning. am i a sex addict??? but anyway, it’s whatever!!! what a hilariously sexy masterpiece. so, so good. just know that i’ve absolutely ADORED these characters and all their wild interactions. it’s been a hoot. (that’s the understatement of the year.) wowzaaaa. <33 edit #5: all these bonus chapters brought me back to life, omfg. I. LOVE. THIS. STORY. AND. THESE. PEOPLE.

I liked this one because of its rare realism when it comes to comics and such. It was intriguing to watch their relationship dynamics shift and evolve throughout! Not too much excitement; not too little depth. It was a nice, unexpected balance! I feel that it’s a bit rare to find characters who stay true to themselves all the way until the very end. They simply grew together. And I especially appreciate the way they both handled things respectively, too. Once again, quite realistic for a manhwa. (Or maybe I’ve just been reading the unrealistic kind until now, sheesh. I don’t know.) Anyway, even though it wasn’t particularly exciting in other areas, I’ll give credit where it’s due! I’m definitely a generous reviewer, though, so I don’t know about it everyone else… I’m not particularly difficult to please with this stuff, I guess. Still, this was my take on it! I’ve enjoyed reading a somewhat shorter comic for once—most of those I’ve been binging are much longer, so that’s a nice change of pace. (Let’s just overlook the fact that I didn’t actually complete this one in one sitting, but those are mere details.) I’d recommend it to readers who might be into anxious, realistic, very ‘real life-like’ characters in a generally melancholic atmosphere without all that bothersome, unnecessary melodrama to top it off. Just keepin’ it real, is all. And there’s that!
