Rae D.'s manga / ##fav(87)

Im giving this a 9.4. I loved it. It was hilarious and adorable! The only complaints I have are these: 1) (the big one) SMOKING IS NOT CHARMING WTF??? ugh, I wish that last bonus chapter was simply not uploaded because that really put a damper on things at the last possible minute. and 2) (a smaller one) I wanted more seeeeeeex. Ugh, yeah, lol, im horny*sigh*... this couple was just too hot for me not to see a lil extra skin ya know? Anyway, like I said, I really loved this. It was gorgeous to me. This couple is the most precious of all time. Too cute and a couple of absolute clowns!!! I cry because I want to be in a relationship just like this irl. Ugh, so happy I read this.

I love this. I love this way more than I thought I would. I love this way more than I should. By the time I got to the main story's conclusion, I was ready to give this a 9.5, but now after reading the epilogue/side stories, this is getting a solid as fuck 9.6. This... had a profound effect on me, lol. I have never neared the end of a BL and thought "I want it to end this way but I know it never ever would end that way" and then got to the ending and had it end EXACTLY the way I only wished it would in my wildest dreams. That is why this gets the unconventional oven tag. At every twist and turn in the main story my expectations were subverted time and time again. It gave me such a fucking rush/thrill!!! Author-nim was very much not afraid to against the grain within this certain sub-genre of BL. Our top was a psychopath murderer who killed multiple people in cold blood throughout the story and yet 1) stayed alive until the very end, 2) never got caught, 3) did not end up professing his love for the bottom MC, and 4) lived out the rest of his days and year with the bottom (and we got to see their happy future!!!!). Like, this was wildly unexpected to me bro. BL's of this nature usually always end on some sort of fuck shit or the other. But nah, not this one. I was so pleasantly and overwhelmingly surprised by the way this ended. I love Kirin so much because I think he is one of the only BL MC's who I thought "yeah, I'd do the exact same thing if I were in your shoes" every single time he performed an action. It's crazy how much I kin him considering the situation and all. I also don't think I have ever been so dedicated to simping for a BL love interest top who has done their bottom MC as dirty as Moo did Kirin bro. Like, never. You're boy not only raped him multiple times with no lube or condom, but also took his virginity in that same manner because they even shared a first kiss and in front of a lecherous audience full of the same guys who raped and were responsible for the death of the person he was most close to in the world. He also set up a situation for the MC to get gang raped and induced with a lethal level of drugs by injection. Like bro, I have never seen my MC be manipulated so much and so effortlessly as I did here. All of those things I said aren't even the worst part though because there are obvi some horrible tops out there in BL's. Worst part is he then felt no remorse for his actions up until the very end of the story and told the MC he did all that shit purely because it was ............ fun? like LMFAO what?!?!?!?!??!??!?!?!?!?!? At that point in time, I thought surely the chance of me supporting their relationship- let alone simping for this man myself, by the end of this story is 0.00000000% But dude..... here I am at the story's conclusion happily in full support of their relationship and simping for this man like crazy. I think that def also qualifies this to win the unconventional oven tag lol. Ugh, I am just incredibly down bad for this psycho killer bro. Like, he is MY cup of tea. His acitons, his quips, his smirk, his deadpan face, his sadisticness, his relentlessly domineering attitude, his lack of remorse, all of it I was there for it. Also, you know how I really knew I had it bad for this man? I caught myself about halfway through the story thinking, "ooooooh, I just KNOW this man has a deep ass sexy ass VOICE ".... hahaha yes, I do know I need therapy ASAP. Anyway, this BL getting my dream ending and the simp-worthiness of the top doing a complete 180 (and then some!!!), are two of my most fav things about this. The other main thing is the nature of the couple's relationship and how complex it is. Like, I haven't quite seen anything like it. What's going on between them can't be called love but it's .... _________. Yeah, lol, it's a bit too complex for me to even explain here. That's why I gave this the "let's unpack" tag lol. To one day return to this and analyze this relationship. It impresses me greatly and I find it fascinating and original. Okay anything else? The cover art is the bomb.com, author-nim is the greatest ever for leaving all of those comments, notes, jokes, and answers to fan's questions so I love them and want to return one day to throw money at them, and lastly these many of these sex scenes were on LITERAL fireeeeee bruh, like ughhghisabnosn. That's pretty much all there was left to say lol. I loved this. It was thrilling and gave me a rush that I can only hope to one day feel again. *Gordon Ramsey chef's kiss* (<- the HIGHEST of praise).

I’ll give this a 9.5. It was very funny overall but the plot twist was hilarious to me, I’ve never seen someone take being a himbo this fucking far. Nah, that nigga Riyu stupiiiiiid stupid. Lmfaooooooo. Him pretending to be straight/his “straight guy” impression had me crying . I love him so much but he way too much but he way to goofy and childish for me to be with hahaha. Especially with all that damn pouting and shit . This was very good and gets a special spot in my favorites list lol. Extra brownie points for the silly-ness of the author that seeps through in the way she draws certain scenes- mainly with them in chibi form. Ooh, ooh, also the love recycled/reoccurring jokes. She made this sooooo good and so full for only 5 chapters. PS: big shoutout/word of appreciation for the utter lack of toxicity in a BL where every other BL would easily add some given the exact same plot. Riyu got mad at him for being with other guys and pouted and then they had sex. That particular sex scene was handled with grace because while he was frustrated and slightly upset with oh boy he wasn’t violent with him. Oh boy was like “it’s like he’s forcing me” and was blushing about that because the key word there was “like”. This, my friends, was one of the best examples of organic and spur of the moment consensual non-consent between two individuals who are not in a super deep relationship in any manga. I loved it as wish every author learned how to do it like this.

This was BEYOND perfect. 9.7 rating for me. The dramaaaaaaa girl in this plot yeah, and not silly messy drama to laugh at, but drama that genuinely had me on the edge . Some phenomenal storytelling. Juuuust the right amount of smut (like I seriously mean a PERFECT RATIO) and the smut was high quality too! Quality art. Engaging characters, many of whom were unexpectedly very good people!!

This is so sick bruh. A lesser version of Cherry Blossoms, which is saying BIG things!!! It’s like if a Cherry Blossoms was a Starbucks drink with 10 pumps of sweetener, this one would be the same drink with 4-5 pumps, but the fact that it’s still the same drink is really saying something. The sweetness, cuteness, wholesome, real-lifeless of it all is too much to bare. Clearly I’m happy for this couple but BRUH did this BL just call me SINGLE AS FUCK in one million different languages. Like, man I’m not even playing around of exaggerating too much it hurts so bad . .......*sigh*, whatever I guess I, happy for them Lol but seriously this was delightful in most every way. It didn’t do anything crazy but it didn’t need to. It did normal stuff but each normal thing was done to the best of its abilities. Only real main problem is that I wanted more. Like, legit the the author could have squeezed 50 entire more chapters out of this and I wouldn’t even be mad in the slightest . 9.5

This was incredible. I’m giving it a 9.6999. The extra decimal points that bring it so very close to being 9.7 material can be attributed to the high as quality art style— especially when it comes to coloring! But yeah, this BL was soooo ridiculously good bro ugh, it was FUNNY FUNNY. Hahahahahhaha Bex is such #1 BL himbo lololol, and Diesel is the loml for reeeeeeeeeal bro. The two go to them together though? Goofiest combo I’ve ever seen lmfaooo . Ugh, I love them both individually and together. He’s is hilarious himbo and I love that. Diesel is lovely beautiful baby angel trained assassin badass bitch who Panteen could only dream of having sponsor their conditioner line. Minsuk is funny as fuck too in his own way. He be in a silly mood often lol. I love his freedom and the way he lives his life with so much aesthetic appeal!!!! I loved his interaction with Ein when they first met hahahhhahahaha. Ein and Diesel’s relationship?!?! Omfg wth it was soooooooooooooooo *chef’s kiss*. It was soo hot and sexy in a deliciously mature and dark way. Like hot damn, the story with Bex and Minsuk was all cute hilarious and goofy it then we switched over the the meta and potatos of the Ein/Diesel story and hot damn shot got juicy!! The prose and storytellelling skyrocketed in quality and I didn’t know WHAT to do with myself! Ten we came back at the end and wrapped it up in a perfectly happy ending which, tbh, based off of the way they set things up, I did NOT think was gonna be possible!! One of the best BL’s I’ve ever read hands down. PS: alllllllll the brownie points for the unexpected hot as lesbian milf reunion couple !!!!! Bex’s birth mother is such a fine ass bad ahhhhhshfoenfkfnjdn I can’t. I’m so glad she achieved the happiness she deserved after marking her crazy ex husband!!!!

Absolutely beautiful piece of artwork. 9.55. P.S. MEGA browine is pts for the glow up that is Theo and that goddamn shoestring in his hair!!!

Absolutely wonderful in every way. Dumb hot. That threesome scene? 9.6

It’s giving a 9.65. Super cute, super funny, and super wholesome bro. What the hell. Ugh, will say more later.... They get OTP tag not necessarily because I want them to but because their OTP startups is one that I simply cannot take away from them given how everything went down
