katlovesfries's manga / #slice of life(28)

Quick short story that I wanted to be longer. I really liked the dynamic between the characters, and the addition of animal characteristics. It was very nice to see these people not being put into stereotypical categories in regards to the yaoi genre.

I loved everything about this manwha---their first kiss, the plot, the angst, the tension, the realisation of feelings, the side pairings, the ending. Everything was great. I love the fact that these characters grew up together and that the readers get an in sight to their respective upbringing. The conflict between them was resolved perfectly, and their dynamic is honestly so entertaining.

This manwha was okay, but to me it lacked depth to the plot and the characters. I wanted things to develop further to get a sense of who these characters are and what their background is like. That didn't happen, which is completely okay because I still had a nice time reading this. It did have a few odd moments, but otherwise it was nice.

This manwha was not for me. I found the storyline a little weird, but I'm sure some people can find enjoy it enjoyable. The characters' relationship is purely based on their own obsessions with characters from a video game due to similarities in looks and personality. To me, it lacks depth and/or development. I know this was meant to be a short story, but it really wasn't my thing. I still love the author, though.

A story of obsession, manipulation and isolation. I was sitting in the edge of my seat while reading this whole thing. I was constantly trying to figure out what would happen next, and was surprised over and over. It really showcases how far some people will go for the people they love, even if it’s unrequited. It’s twisted, complicated and dark. It has a happy ending, and I really liked how things were handled. The ending seemed rushed, and I wanted so much more, but I’m still very happy.

A sequel and/or side story to “Back to School”. This was very cute, and felt like the cherry on top. I love that the readers get an insight to characters’ life after five years has passed. It illustrates how time heals wound, though some are deeper than others. I didn’t care for the last side story about Chiwoo and Jihuyn, but I know some people will. It just wasn’t for me as I didn’t even finish it.

This story was okay, but nothing more than that. I didn't find it particularly interesting, but the age gap between the characters is done in a nice way that doesn't depicts one of them as a creep. I didn't like the art very much either, but that is just personal preference. It did ruin the reading experience a little, though.

This was an intense story about guilt, acceptance and forgiveness. It involves a character being haunted by their past, and thinking they deserve being treated unfair as well as being abused. I didn't expect it to be this dark, so proceed with caution. Fortunately, the story has a happy ending and the abuser is dealt with accordingly, but was still very hard to get through at certain times.
