Keep a Dog
SUMMARY [The MC is taken against his will, and will be trained to behave like a dog through hard measures.] Not much to say. I didn't know what I was expecting when I started to read this, but this is definitely not for everyone. Very smutty, but I guess that's given.
Efforts Never Betray
SUMMARY [Jae-kyung, who grew up under a perfectionist father, must keep first place in the entire school.] This was actually so sad to read. Jaekyung constantly not thinking he's good enough, and living in fear everyday of his father is truly heartbreaking. This Manhwa is a great example of the consequences of parents who have too many expectations of their children. The ending really sits with me - it really shows how much damage Jaekyung's father has done along with his mother leaving him when he was a child. Amazing but heartbreaking all at once.
Uzumaki
SUMMARY [Kurozu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or being but by a pattern: uzumaki, the spiral, the hypnotic secret shape of the world. It manifests itself in small ways: seashells, ferns, whirlpools in water, whirlwinds in air. And in large ways: the spiral marks on peoples bodies, the insane obsessions of Shuichi s father, the voice from the cochlea in your inner ear. As the madness spreads, the inhabitants of Kurôzu-cho are pulled ever deeper, as if into a whirlpool from which there is no return..] This manga is insane. Itou Junji's talent to take a simple thing or concept, and then turn it into something horrifying and downright disturbing is amazing. The art style is so much more detailed than I expected. Truly a unique reading experience!
Bastard (hwang Youngchan)
SUMMARY [There is a serial killer in my house!] 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!
Plaything
SUMMARY [Ilic has committed the perfect crime—or so he thought. After killing his boss’s son in self-defense, Ilic is soon found out by none other than Grand Duke Sa-yan. The duke is gracious enough to allow Ilic to keep his secret…as long as Ilic expresses his gratitude by begging the duke to bed him. And if Ilic refuses, his life may be endangered by his boss’s wrath. Now entirely at Sa-yan’s mercy, Ilic is forced to embark on an affair that involves much more than he bargained for: acts of indecency, political intrigue, and maybe even love.] I really liked the historical aspect in this story as well as Ilic's character. I definitely didn't expect all that shameless smut, at all, but I'm not complaining. Had stunning art, too,
Bitten By Moonlight
SUMMARY [An assassin drops in on a troublemaker vampire who creates havoc all over the continent. But turns out, he was brainwashed…! Can he make this man, who’s very much his type, his?] I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I liked the action-filled beginning, and the use of magic and all the other supernatural elements. The art is stunning, but would I like even more depth to the plot and characters. Sadly, this is only meant as a short story.
Blue Lust
SUMMARY [On a hot summer afernoon, Hayato meets the new transfer student name Souma, who has not been able to adapt to the new environment. Hayato always manages to be in Souma's sight, and thinks he will be able to take care of him. The familiar touch allows Souma to familiarize with the environment, until he's able to smile once more. All the while Hayato tries to fix things from his past.] 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).
Wagging the Tail Webtoon
SUMMARY [Korean Wolf Kang Doha is quite popular in school. One day, he bumps into the fox, Yeojoon, who's been spending his days in school as a loner. Doha finds him irritating, but he couldn't stop seeking him out. Is this... perhaps... love?] 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.
Yours to Claim
SUMMARY [Nothing crazy ever happens to Jooin. He’s just your average college student, keeping his head down and flying under the radar. Yahwi, on the other hand, is drop dead gorgeous, super popular…but also kinda mean. So why has the campus heartthrob taken an interest in a total nobody? There must be an ulterior motive…but it’s hard to care when faced with those killer looks. Will Jooin become a slave to his desires? Or perhaps he’ll become the master himself…] I read this manhwa a couple of months ago, but to be honest, I don't have recollection of the bigger picture of the story. The artwork is beautiful and it certainly a some cute, fluffy moments as well. This is not, however, a manwha that I would consider re-reading. But overall, I remember my reading experience as being pleasent.
