SUMMARY [Every night at 10, Dong-gyun locks himself up in his room, grabs a box of tissues, and watches a live cam boy show hosted by Alex, a BJ (broadcast jockey). Timid Dong-gyun admires not only Alex’s ripped body, but his candor in sharing his sexual experiences with viewers. One night, Dong-gyun downs too many drinks at a school networking event and passes out. When he wakes up, he’s in bed staring up at a shirtless hunk. A hunk who looks an awful lot like...Alex.] Stunning art, that's all I'm gonna say. Anyway, I liked the begnning of this manhwa, and it was interesting to see the development of the relationship, even though Alex was a bit of an asshole.

SUMMARY [A group of high school students were spending their peaceful days freely until they have been chosen as the participants of the game where everyone is being hypnotized until they commit suicide. No one is safe from a sudden death, so what will they do to avoid their fates?] 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.

SUMMARY [Every male who encounters Tomie becomes obsessed with her and eventually kills and dismembers her. But Tomie is not human, and is always reborn...] This was certainly interesting, especially seeing how Itou Junju interprets obsession. The art style is fantastic, but I do wish the ending had been a little more "well-rounded" or so to speak. The manga ends abruptly, but maybe that's just me. Tomie is a person who every woman envy, and a person every man will grow to fear. Overall, a very pleasant experience with many unexpected things and situations thrown into the story.

SUMMARY [The six books contains five horror stories related to a primary school kid named Sou. Sou has an ability to foresee supernatural events in his dreams and even to make changes that will eventually happen in reality. The five stories are the Eroded Scissors, the Disappeared Rubber, the Tongue of the Spider Queen, the Black Picture-book, and Shadow Dead. All of the scary stories are linked by his unique experience. WARNING - Contains adult themes.] This manga is horrifying, and the fact that it's told from a small child's perspective makes it even more fucked up. It leaves the readers confused and really grossed out, and I'm still wondering if it's all happening in his head, and if he really is dreaming. With that being said, this is not what I expected, and it's disgusting, but I'm reading surprisingly quickly and can't wait to finish it.

SUMMARY [Yeo Eui Joon, who works at a convenience store frequented by gangsters, wants to quit as soon as possible because of the dangerous work environment. However, he's stopped by the pay that's 1.2x more than other stores! So, Eui Joon, who needs every penny he can get, overlooks the danger and continues working there. Then one day, Bum Geon Woo, who looks more like a gangster than any other gangsters show up. And as soon as he appears, the other gangsters simmer down... Will Eui Joon be able to safely continue working at this convenience store?] From the very beginning of the story, I've liked the slow development of their relationship. The plot is also very interesting as it not only focuses purely on sex but also on Geonwoo's background and life (same with Euijoon). The art style is stunning and the characters are good. It's so sad they were separated for so long, but the ending is making everything worth it.

SUMMARY [Thorfinn is son to one of the Viking's greatest warriors, but when his father is killed in battle by the mercenary leader Askeladd, he swears his intent to have revenge. Thorfinn joins Askeladd's group in order to challenge him to a duel, and ends up caught in the middle of a war for the crown of England.] This manga is one of the best ones I've ever read. I started out with the anime, and immediately fell in love with the characters, plot and everything in-between. Thorfinn's character development is so beautiful, yes, beautiful--going from a young boy who's driven by rage and revenge to a man with understanding and compassion for other people. What can I say? I love this manga with all my heart, especially the small amounts of historical accuracy, which makes it all so much more interesting to read.

This was a weird reading experience--not unenjoyable just a little odd. I don't dislike the story or anything, but I'm still trying to comprehend what I just read. The art style is pretty, and I like the fact that it was a quick read, but other than that, it was simply a little too odd for my tastes.
