Ethingan's manga / #bullying(4)

At the End of the Road

Complete | Haribo | 2016 released

Had a very promising start but a rushed incomplete ending. Was a while ago I read it but I liked the MC (uke) who instead of dying ended up in someone else's body. He's strong and tough. The person whose body he ends up in has had a very sad tragic life and now the MC has to deal with it. But he does it splendidly. It's amazing seeing how he turns around the whole bullying situation. I think I thought the seme was kinda shady and manipulative, but he did care deeply for the uke (almost to the point of obsession) and I liked their backstory. I still feel very sad for the person who hd his body originally though. He never got any kind of good ending to the hell he had to go through and no-one seemed to really care. .

Restless Webtoon

Complete | Hoben | 2000 released

It's SO GOOD! The plot is interesting and the characters believable and likeable. The seme slightly bullies the uke in the beginning when he starts at the company but it's not over the top and he I can understand why he did it. He also apologises. He's actually one of the sweetest, cutest tops I've seen, especially in omegaverse. His blushing face is so cute and hot at the same time. I hate when semes have this cool, unaffected sadistic smirk on all the time! The uke is quite serious and competent. It has a more serious approach to discrimination which I like. My only negative is that it's so short! It's nice that it's not dragged out and there aren't really any open ends but it still could have been way longer and more slow-paced. So sad to see such a good story end so quickly! There's also a side story of the events in the beginning from the seme's POV! In a week of lust vol 5 ch. 1-3. Note to self: rev in side story

Caste Heaven

Ongoing | Ogawa Chise | 2014 released

Terrible, bad guys were forgiven way too easily, no redemption at all, seme is a rapist and an abuser. Even by BL standards the seme is extremely toxic and cruel. And yet the uke falls in love with him. Hate this trope. Okay if the seme properly apologises, feels guilty and redeems themselves but this is just absolute garbage. Mostly the uke being raped, beaten, manipulated, humiliated, sexually pleasing other people. The seme gave bj only once in ch. 37 but also the reverse.
