katlovesfries's manga / #unrequited love(12)

This story was average at most. The situation is quite odd---using an app to find someone to have sex with, meeting them in person, but not knowing what that person looks or sounds like. It is a recipe for disaster. I will say that it is nice how the story does not follow typical stereotypes regarding people in the lgbtq+ community.

I was actually looking forward to reading this manhwa, but it is a little weird. The MC is way too naïve for my liking and the "obsession" with his coworker is a little much. Said coworker is a little harsh which I don't really mind, but to can be too much, still. The art style is pretty, and the smut is pretty good too with undertones of bdsm.

I don't even know where to start with this one, but was not anything like I was expecting. My heart breaks for Tamaki with what he's been through, and what he has had to endure throughout his childhood. I was deeply saddened by it all, and the feeling never seemed to go away as I continued reading. Deals with a lot of issues, for sure, and it may not be for everyone.

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.

I don't usually read about love triangles, but this story manages to do it well. The progression of the plot was fine and interesting enough, but there are instances in the story that I don't like---Param's first time at the club, Hwi's friend being obnoxious and how Param treated Hwi. It was average but certainly not a bad experience when reading about love triangles. Could have been worse.

A story about toxic love and letting go of people who don't want the best for you. It addresses the process of accepting and letting go of someone you hold dear to your heart. It really tugs on your heartstrings, especially when you see how people pleasing and neglecting yourself becomes such a big part of the characters and plot.

Relatively quick read that focuses on unrequited love (but not really). Two people meet again after falling out/going no-contact, and the readers get to see how they navigate their feelings--both good and bad. In the end, they manage to actually communicate and get their happy ending. A lot of alcohol was involved.

This is an odd one. I didn't really know what to expected, but it certainly wasn't the raging daddy issues. Honestly, this is more sad than anything else. A people pleaser not knowing how to say no, and a young adult with no strong parental figure, taking advantage of that. I dropped rather quickly.

Such a beautiful story about love and friendship. It focuses on the complex relationship between friends and how feelings may develop as a result of said relationship. This manga is really a story that is "coming of age", and such an important piece that everyone should read. It focuses on the differences between people, but also highlights that differences and change aren't bad. Those things makes us who we are. I really enjoyed this a lot, and would recommend to anyone.

A quick story with a focus on a teacher-student affair. The plot is lacking a lot of things and it isn't really my taste, but there's an element of bdsm that makes the smut very good. The art is absolutely stunning and it is also the best part of this story.
