I read this on WEBTOON but dropped it around chapter ~250. It feels like they're strayed away from the original concept of the 2nd body. I don't know, this was fun to read at first but it became more tedious to read onward. The plotlines became really unrealistic; random stuff started to happen like the idol recruitment, high school gangs and the forced livestreaming. It's like they've jumped the shark and are dragging out the webtoon. It's a shame becaus the art and action scenes are cool and the concept is really fun and interesting. Wish they explored the plotline of the 2nd body and the actual concept of lookism as a theory. Anyway, M-M-M-MID

Tokyo Revengers

Complete | Wakui Ken | 2000 released

Overall tense, mild-medium violence and dark with light comedy between major plot points. Distinctive art-style, enjoyable aesthetic. Strong storyline. Good characters but is definitely more drama & plot centric than character development centric.

Ongoing, U2D (discontinued?) So far, I find this far more compelling and. well-done in comparison to Ao Ashi. The characters are far more charasmastic and endearing and the story is well-researched and fairly well-executed. This mangaka has the tendency to cram a lot if information in at once, so far, this has been done better than their other work. Was excited to read more, but I think it has sadly been discontinued? Not too sure

I don't read BL super often but hawt damn, this was the perfect balance of sweetness, drama and realism! SPOILER I do feel like story-wise, who the MC (sorry I don't remember names lol) ends up with doesn't really make sense. We spent so much time with the 2nd love interest and their friendship/relationship just makes sense by the ending but they don't end up together? It felt like a betrayal... the reader is just not as invested in the main love interest once they get together, it makes SENSE because its the MC's crush, but as a reader, I'm not sold on it? They don't have nearly as much chemistry!

Read this a while back, had a skim through just to refresh my memory. It's got a cool concept but idk, reading it was kind of boring and didn't rrally find any of this memorable outside of the concept. Maybe I'm not giving this a fair shot but I'm not interested enough to find out, oops...
