tsukineko's manga / #trauma(53)

4.5 stars. Hot and sweet. Probably the sweetest, most romantic manga depiction of (light) BDSM I've ever come across!

This seems to be by a Korean, but looks more like a manga, as the pages are read from right to left. Maybe it was scanned from a version published in Japan? Well I'm tagging it as a manhwa anyway. I liked it. Maybe 3.75 stars? The premise was interesting, the characters were well fleshed out considering the length, suspense was nicely built and maintained, and the art was beautiful. Why, then, do I hesitate to give it 4 full stars? Not sure. For me it's just lacking that special something. I still really like this manga - I just don't love it.

It's a manhwa, but read it left to right. Looks kinda emo lol: melodramatic/dark/angsty/poetic.

This wasn't half bad, until Chris's secret was revealed and it all became sickly sweet and unrealistic - what a shame! There's one line in this that I love, though: 'I am your trigger. The bullet is within you. I will release you from him.' (ch.3, p7) - In fact, I like that whole scene a lot.

Despite not being a BL, this sounds pretty good, and I think I should read it!

This is pretty cliché old-school bl tbh, but it has its good moments. The 1st couple's relationship started so fast it was freaking hilarious - they move in together after knowing each other for a matter of days lol! As for the 2nd couple, I always find the crying puppydog uke type really annoying, but the seme was more of an interesting character, despite, (or maybe due to?) acting like a complete asshole at times.

After this, read 'Code:'
