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.

Return To The Hidden

Complete | ZAODAO | 2000 released

What an odd story. I don't have much to say about this, but I do wish it was longer. I wanted more of the plot and characters, and overall more depth to the entire thing, but it is meant to be a short story and nothing more.

Efforts Never Betray

Complete | Akpa (악파) | 2000 released

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.

Surprise!

Ongoing | rob lucci (罗布路基) | 2019 released

I'm actually lost for words, but I can say with certainty that the plot will be interesting. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. The last panel is stuck in my head, and I can't stop thinking about it. Wow... However, because it's not being updated, and hasn't been for a long time, I'll drop it for now.

Svaha: The Sixth Finger

Ongoing | Jae-hyun jan,Chawon | 2019 released

From the very beginning, the plot seems interesting, and I'll definitely be waiting for updates. I've taken a liking to the "twisted" views on religion that this story (hopefully) focuses more on. But I've come back to this after a couple of months, and can't get back into it, so for now, I won't finish it.

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.

Your wish is my command

Complete | Sagold | 2000 released

You go into expecting one thing, which turns out to be completely off the mark. This was so weird, and I'm not exaggerating. I couldn't take the plot or concept seriously at first, but I was so intrigued that I had to keep reading. This manwha has great plot twists, and great representation of codependency and possessiveness. It explores so many interesting topics of happiness and greed, and it was truly a unique eperience getting to read this without knowing anything at all. The ending had me staring at the wall for a while.

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.

Back to School

Complete | Oryu | 2019 released

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.

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.
