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.

Kami no Hidarite Akuma no Migite

Complete | UMEZU Kazuo | 2000 released

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.

Fuan No Tane

Complete | Nakayama Masaaki | 2004 released

I have mixed opinions about this manga. I loved the many scary panels, but really wanted the stories to be longer. They don't get to evolve when they're so short, but I also understand that a lot has to be interpreted by the readers--even so a little disappointing. The first volume is the best in my opinion.

Skull Man

I didn't really like anything about this story--the art, pacing, plot, ending. Nothing. I didn't really care for it either, and don't see it as horror at all. I doubt this would have had any potential, even if it was longer.

Kimetsu no Yaiba

Complete | Gotouge Koyoharu | 2016 released

This is such an impactful story. The focus on love, friendship and companionship was amazing. The plot was interesting all the way to the end, and I don't remember reading a story this quickly. I loved the mystical aspect to Sun Breathing and the origins of the Demon Slayer Corps. With that being said, it also broke my heart, but I won't be going into detail about that.

Killer Dream

Complete | Miura Tsuina,Nakamaru Yousuke | 2000 released

This one shot manages to catch the readers attention instantly. The plot was really interesting, and I wish it was longer. Having man show up in your dreams, who kills your friends and family, is really disturbing, but what makes it worse is that the victims are dead in real life too. There are refecerences/actual suicides happening, so proceed with caution.

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.

Crash Into Me

Complete | Re-run | 2019 released

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.
