Blue Lust

Complete | Hinako (ひなこ) | 2015 released

This is a beautiful manga, and I love everything about it. Seriously, everything. The pacing is good, the characters are amazing, even with their flaws. I love that Hayato had to confront his past, and that he didn't want to run away from it anymore. Seeing his perspective on everything was really interesting, and I loved that the readers see his inner conflicts and feelings. I enjoyed how Souma and Hayato found each other again after their fall out + the little time skip at the end was everything to me. (Souma looks cute with glasses).

Bastard (hwang Youngchan)

Complete | Carnby Kim,Youngchan Hwang | 2015 released

I've been sitting for a few moments to take everything in. This manhwa is fantastic. The plot is incredible, and it has so many plot twists that made me sit anxiously in my seat. The colour palette is perfect for the plot, and it makes everything seem even more disturbing. Jin's father is truly sick, twisted and manipulative, and it clearly shows many times, and I never would have guessed this to be the ending. One of the best manhwas I've ever read, and I definitely recommend!

Usagi no Mori

Ongoing | Enjo | 2018 released

I don't even know where to start with this one, but was not anything like I was expecting. My heart breaks for Tamaki with what he's been through, and what he has had to endure throughout his childhood. I was deeply saddened by it all, and the feeling never seemed to go away as I continued reading. Deals with a lot of issues, for sure, and it may not be for everyone.

Wagging the Tail Webtoon

Complete | Yayamee,Kwong koogi | 2000 released

The pace of the story is very enjoyable, perfect even. I read it in one sitting without taking a break, and I loved it so much. I feel so sorry for Yeojoon, and the way he views himself, but I'm so happy that he opened up to Doha. The ending is everything, and I would, without a doubt, come back to this in the future.

Signal 100

Complete | Miyatsuki arata,Kondou shigure | 2019 released

I've been sitting, trying to collect my thoughts on this manga, but I'm speechless. I started reading this a couple of months ago, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it because of a lack of interest. I'm so happy I did, though. This was full of plot twists, and I had no idea what to expect, nor what would happen next. This manga will make you question everything, seriously, EVERYTHING! It plays mind games with you like no other piece of fiction I've ever read. This was such a thrilling reading experience, but keep in mind that non-consensual acts do take place in this manga. Proceed with overall caution.

Living Will

Complete | mina (미나),ziho | 2019 released

This is a short read, and overall very likeable. The relationship between Jeanette and Jeanne is super cute, but the ending made me feel so empty. I do, however, wish that the story was longer so the readers could get to know the characters even more, and just get more details about the plot and Jeanette profession in general + the more of Jeanette's and Jeanne's relationship.

Under the Green Light

Ongoing | Jaxx | 2000 released

This manwha has an interesting plot and beautiful artwork. The plot has many enjoyable aspects and I think the past of the respective characters makes everything come together in a nice way. It can be an intense reading experience, but so good as well.

Thirst

Ongoing | Asami | 2000 released

False claims to fame, sex, lies, and hidden identities unfold to jeopardize the livelihood of both stars.. Ethan and Tristan must choose to confront one another or put aside their differences and risk falling deeper into desire.] This is such a good read. I never thought I would enjoy something with vampires after Twilight, but here we are. The artwork is stunning, and the plot is interesting as well. This is definitely one I would consider re-reading in the future.

Given

Ongoing | kizu natsuki,Gusari | 2013 released

This is such a great story with a focus on healing and finding oneself after feeling lost. I love the pacing and overall dynamic between all characters. The story touches upon serious ad meaningful topics and they are represented in such a beautiful way. It also shows how music brings people together. Everyone should give this a try.

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.
