Scandal

Ongoing | Bbomeu,Jeong seokchan,Juns,Kemi,Mum,Sagold,Yuan | 2019 released

I really liked this short story, and wanted it to be so much longer. The characters' dynamic was very entertaining, and the plot also seemed really captivating. Something about "Bodygaurd x Actor" does it for me.

Mania

Complete | Brothers Without a Tomorrow | 2000 released

A story about broken people acting on the haunting memories of the past and wanting revenge on the people they were wronged by. This is a masterpiece, and so utterly complex that one needs to pay attention to detail. I'm honestly awed by this manwha and would recommend to anyone who is looking for something twisted, dark and mysterious, while also wanting a happy ending.

Exotic Love

Complete | Geumgi, Lee Gyong, TR | 2019 released

A story of toxicity, doubt and complicated relationships that explore the consequences of one's own actions as well as of the outcome of such. It depicts the realisations of feelings, longing and yearning very well, but also a very unhealthy relationship where both parties never know what to expect of the other. It felt quite slow to read and the ending of the main story seemed rushed to me.

Vagabond

Ongoing | Inoue Takehiko | 1998 released

This is an attention-grabbing story with interesting plots and characters. The art style is, perhaps, one of the most beautiful ones I've seen. I'm very excited to see where the story is headed, and how each respective character grows.

Bluelock

Ongoing | Kaneshiro Muneyuki,Nomura Yuusuke | 2018 released

This is such an interesting perspective to egoism, and how that plays into sports. I especially enjoy the strategic and analytical thinking that goes into soccer, and how that is done in an entertaining way. The entire Bluelock system is both brutal and educational for the characters. They get to know their true skill level, while also checking out their competition.

Roses and Champagne

Complete | Zig , fat | 2019 released

I have many mixed feelings about this. The plot and the pacing started out perfectly, and the story has a sense of slow burn that I grew to like quickly. While the characters and the overall progression of the story was done well, the acts of sexual assault was not expected or appreciated---that unfortunately ruined the remainder of the story for me. To end this on a good note, I will say that Lee Won is the coolest character of them all.

Tiger and Tiger Gourd

Complete | Bamsik | 2022 released

Very enjoyable and quick. Lovely dynamic between the characters with surprisingly a lot of progression and development, all happening in the span of eight chapters. I really wanted this to be longer in order to see how their relationships will continue to evolve. Would recommend.

Trap Trap

Complete | Ichika | 2000 released

A story about overcoming personal fears and letting go of toxic people that don't want the best for you. I was sceptical at first, but the progression of the story and plot got me hooked. It was very interesting too see how the MC develops and tries to deal with some of his issues, while also having the right support system to help him. Very happy that I read until the end.

Full volume

Complete | 알버트,albert,양은지,yang eun ji | 2019 released

I loved this very much. The characters' dynamic is so lovely throughout the story. Dowon's devotion to help Beom, while continuously showing his love and determination, is absolutely to die for. Both of them have detailed backstories that tie very well into the people have become. I love how Beom has a support system even though he's convinced that he needs to handle this on his own. At the same time, I love it when Dowon didn't pressure Beom into a relationship or into admitting his feelings.

Can't Think Straight

Ongoing | Pangin, Hudadak | 2000 released

This was a rollercoaster. There are so many feelings and conflicts happening in this story, but also so much development and growth. I was sceptical at first, mainly because one of the main characters is homophobic, and while it does get better, it does take a while. This is a slowburn, guys.
