aoko's manga / #slow burn(76)

these short chapters are always a joy to read, different types of couples in a workplace setting + slowest slow burn ever

this felt like finally drinking water after being stranded in the desert for YEARS; yesss finally something good, with all these mid stories, we finally get something that fuels my love for mutual pining and a slow burn too??! ugh catch me, literally fainting

this is the og shoujo / josei manga, would reread this more since the plot is so interesting and charming; the fl is so likable and there’s such a cute slow burn with the ml

probably not gonna watch the anime, but this gave me a pretty good laugh; WE NEED MOMENTS OF THEM DATING FR LIKE WTF

the angst in this is too good.. you’re telling me that he loved him unconditionally but he couldn’t trust him bc of his trauma :( NOOOO JUST LET THEM BE HAPPYY — this time skip is killing me too! like nooooo just say you love himmm, that baby gonna play a part somehow

the banter—the tension, everything is set up for a perfect office worker slow burn romance + smut; what more could you possibly ask for??? honestly, it’s so fun to read stories like this, where the mc is obviously in denial while the ml is obsessively pining, gotta hand it to them, “broken ring” author knows how to make me feel things

don’t know what going on, but could honestly skip 30 chapters and still catch myself up fuck bro. replace this shit with the bible. are you kidding me?? this is so interesting, feel so bad that the transitions stopped me from reading this—it is worth the hype. pershati and theo are my otp oml

burd war bs boring asl; strong fl and romance make up for it BRO IS FINALLY MAKING A MOVE AFTER 800 YEARSSS

hmmm.. very iffy on this one; the art is gorgeous don’t get me wrong, but it’s kind of boring? the likelihood of this getting a kdrama adaptation is very high but it’s just another situation where the plot is so basic?? — mhm okay maybe a tad bit too harsh cause the ml is such a wimpy, desperate mess for the fl that ya gotta hand it to him

ngl this feels like they keep on adding more plot to an already finished story—they can just end it with a neat little bow yk—instead they add unnecessary conflict; imo the *incident* should’ve been revealed a long time ago (his lips are actually bothering me btw)
