A Strange Joke
Overall, this story was a fantastic read. All the characters were so well-developed , with such a strong backstory to understand their intent. Looking at the authors note, of the 5 unrequited love and growth of it, I will evaluate each as it corresponds to all the arcs. Arc 1. Min, Jina, and Sijun. This was quite the plot which showed the growth of Jina who experienced a fake relationship with Sijun. Overall, her overcoming of love for Sijun, though he was gay, made her a fabulous supporting character for thejr relationship and the plot. Only thing is I don't usually like these miscommunication plots. Arc 2. Love triangle with Min, Sijun, and Sehun. By far one of my favorite arcs because of Sehun's emotional turmoil, confession, and developmemt. I was incredibly sad after he was rejected. Arc 3. Sijun and Min. After chapters 40, we get a huge flashback of Sujin, his fuckboy past, and how he came to like Min. I found this incredibly sweet and they jumped quickly into a relationship. Of course with this relationship came the proceeding conflict of a collapsed love triangle with Sehun. I love how they were able to have all their relationships be resolved , but Sehun still needed justice. After that, he was tossed to the side. Arc 4. Love perseverance chapter 60+. This fact that this dude turned up made things go South with his appearance had me messed up. He became obsessed with Min cuz he regretted his actions as Min's ex. Of course, that didn't happened till the end of the story, so he instigated a bunch of shit. Thus the cycle of violence and trauma was passed from the professor, Mr. Shim to Min. Min became self conscious of himself , the relationship they had to keep hidden, and self-proclaimed burdens he had hid from Sijun. Thus, they broke up. How they got back together was rushed. I didnt like that. It needed more talking on resolve, but I guess for content sake, not everything needed to be reviewed cuz Min had already gone through all the emotional turmoil after they had broken up. As I read the story, the art just started to become better and better. Every part of this story had grasped my attention , except for the last arc that made me question the integrity and admiration of the MC. Of course it was drama filled ,but it was a great mixture of some cliches with some realistic relationship things. The art improved so much throughout the serious and I have always loved the writing. The panel flow is amazing , the storyline is simple and sweet. The plots are not all my favorite, but the author did a damn good job writing it.
Hetakuso Love Step
My heart is absolutely amazed by this series. I love I love it I love it I love it. It makes me heart feels so warm , it's steamy, and it talks about a basic relationship between two people. It doesn't exaggerate the sex , it includes realistic realistic things like shopping, going to the movies, and all the such of a basic relationship. It helps normalize the love.
The Third Ending
Fck. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. THIS IS THE REALEST SHIT EVER! No hate, except for the character's shitty approach, but the story is chef's kiss. They're both so cute. Finished 72 Read count: 2
Mom, I'm gay
Mmmmmmm. The beginning was really good. I dislike the overarching conflict though.
Swing Baby
One of the most metaphoric and candy-sweet love I've ever read. The characters truly are nothing more than your average workers, and the story does a great great job at incorporating the stress and angst when it comes to your average work life: assignments, time managementmanagement, coworkers, and of course, love. What it means to yourself , and how to grow, and how to have confidence, and how to love. All these themes radiate throughout this story to make it truly a heart-warming story. Plot is superb. Storyline is decent. Characters development is fantastical. Writing and translations are beyond expectations. Art took some adjustment, but was ultimately, amazing. Dialgoue, again, with those translations , amazing. One of the better stories for sure.
Tu Quoque
I am completely full. Never have I seen such a great story. It was powerful, banter, funny, playful, loving, and mature. I give a 9/10 for characters writing, 10/10 for plot, 10/10 for progression, and 10/10 for art. Truly this storyline had me so anxious because it seemed like this love was too perfect, but it was real. And I was filled to the brim with second hand happiness.
