_cider_'s manga / #yaoi(119)

i was confused the whole time, yeah there was the kidnapping, the ransom, the rape but the story never expanded to explain why those things had to happened. it was good but eh,,,

Okay, this has to be, by far, my favorite manhua yet. Characters: I did not expect the dynamic AT ALL, when Baek "Threatened" Seo about him masturbating in the public bathroom I knew this couple would be the best thing that existed and I was not disappointed at all. I am glad that Beak did not turn out to be another large stupid himbo and his characterization was well defined and made him unique. Seo was an interesting one because he had a character backstory and it made him a character with dimension and made him relatable, I especially like how his defenses started to crumble slowly when he kept interacting with Baek, it was the character development I loved in a while. I also liked how their dynamic worked, Baek being a large golden retriever while Seo was the small black cat but the writer never made it obnoxiously obvious that they're just following a premade dynamic, and it was by their interaction that we see how they are and it feels so natural. Story: I like the pacing, the flow was wildly calm even though so many things had happened between them, and I really liked how the comedy aspect worked given the personalities of the characters. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY LOOKED FORWARD TO THEIR SMUT SCENES LIKE DAMN THEY ARE FIESTY ASF. Like, I really love how the first smut scene was on Ch 3 but the actual sex happened on somewhere Ch 30-ish. Like the author knew how to edge its audience and the characters with so much sexual tension it was insane. (but now they keep having unsolicited sex and im lowkey fed up with it lolz.)
