YaoiLover's manga / #childhood friends(50)

Chiwoo has gratuitous sex with random game characters. All the while nursing a crush on a real life guy, named Hwan. Storyline makes a 180 turn and gets serious! The plot focuses on Chiwoo and Hwan, and their wish granters, Sunny and Moony respectively. Goes from frivolous fluff, and gratuitous sex to dark deeds!

Delightfully sexy! Story of Nohae, a model and Yeong, his quiet roommate.

I love that Tsubame's parents are gay men! This is the first manga I've read with this element. I didn't like the rape scene between Miyama and Tsubame, or how Tsubame was so quick to forgive and move on. Given my limited knowledge of the Omegaverse, I think it was a risky decision for them to wait to commit/bond. I did love the love story and the happy ending, though.

Covers some deep issues about insecurity, rejection, self deprivation, and self acceptance. Love the character development. I also like that Jaeha, the hung is the insecure one, with issues of self acceptance and inferiority. Meanwhile, Eunho, the younger, has always known and accepted his truth. This story shows the negative effects our past traumas can have on our futures, And those of our loved ones, when not properly addressed.

Ryou and Kouji - Ryou is a drop out, and has no direction in his life. He is in love with Kouji, who is his opposite. Kouji is in school, and seems to have clear moral boundaries. Ryou feels he is unworthy of Kouji, and does things to distance himself from Kouji.

Very interesting story. Lee Minhoon and Hyungnim are childhood friends. Hyung realizes his attachment to Kingpin, but not his love for him. Meanwhile, Minhoon thinks he is just a concerned friend of Hyung, as Minhoon comes to the rescue, when Hyung is having medical issues. Little does Kingpin know, Hyung health issues are due to him being a vampire! Not only that, but Hyung ran away from home, 300 years ago, after a traumatic event involving his father. I wasn't clear on exactly what happened at that time. The storyline took several detours, back in time for the family drama, and tangents involving the clothing company Jihoon later works for, becoming involved with a television show and several sponsors. I could have done with less minutiae on that, and more in depth storytelling about the vampire families, and relationships. Plus, Minhoons friend Gunchan, (kin to Hyungs father) gets shot and the shooter is never revealed, nor is it made clear the severity of his injuries. Apparently, Bunch an gets shot multiple times, with silver bullets by someone involved in the plot to overthrow Hyung's father. I suspect Edric arranged the hit, but that is never brought to light. Nor is it clear exactly why Hyungs father allows himself to be shot later. Any perceived weakness on his part would make his entire house seen weak, including both his sons and Minhoon. I have yet to understand why Minhoon would even want the job of Kin manager, let alone why he would get it, and on what authority he gives himself a promotion 2 years later with no training on the first job. Plus, this is BL, not Yaoi! Any and all sex, is implied, and even the kisses are somewhat censored. There are multiple vampire bite scenes, yet no illustration of the actual biting. Kind of disappointing.

Kiyo is a muscular omega, working nights as a pole dancer. His unrequited love and best friend since middle school, Chi-Chan, works at the same club as Kiyo as a waiter. Kiyo has body issues, as an oversized omega, and is always self conscious. Chi-Chan watches over Kiyo and acts as friend and protector, but is oblivious to Kiyo affections for him. Will they end up together?

Ikkun and Haha. Love this story! Really sweet story of a cross dresser, and flighty dancer named Hana. Hana and Ikkun shared a hot night in high school, after which Hana mysteriously disappeared. Three years later, a more jaded and mature Hana returns to his hometown as a Beautiful cross dresser, much to Immune surprise. Ikkun is much more reserved and self conscious than the free spirited Hana, but their mutual affection has endured.
