SharkVice's manga / #Character Growth(15)

Down and Dirty

Complete | John | 2000 released

I initially thought it was going to be a story with an unredeemable couple that just goes through pain after pain. Glad I stuck through it though cause there's light at the end of the tunnel. Part 1 is more like the background story to set up the main story in Part 2. Once it reaches Part 2 it gets sooo good. Hyungdo is one of my favorite ukes. Despite how he melts in front of Lee Gyung, he's mentally strong. His love for Lee Gyung was wholesome. He always had faith in Gyung and the willpower to want to be a good change in his life. At the beginning I didnt like Lee Gyung but by the end I loved him. It's rare to see a yaoi were the seme goes through character growth.

Who Can Define Popularity?

Finally, a couple with good communication and a healthy relationship. Characters are very well-written. Bawoo is the manliest of men.

Shounen No Kyoukai

Complete | akabeko | 2016 released

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I thought it was going to be yet another generic omegaverse that goes from rape to love with no middle steps. It was cliché in the first half and towards the middle, but chapters 12+ really squeezed my heart. Taiga's character growth has to be one of my favorites from anything I have ever read.

Emperor And The Female Knight

Ongoing | 안경워숭이,Team-iyak,winter - heyum | 2019 released

Love this one. It's realistic but not in a heavy depressing way. There are no real villains or Trashtas (aside from Pauliana's family in the beginning). It's all just about Lucius trying to deal with his unrequited love for Paul and how that clashes with his responsibilities as emperor, while Paul deals with a world that discriminates women and her own prejudice towards women. Lucius is the most unselfish ML. His focus is always on how to make sure Paul is happy even if that means throwing away his feelings for her. The story spawns multiple years and it's great to see how things unfold and where characters end up. The ending is so very satisfying.
