Secret Alliance

this is literally one of the best things ive ever read.. the art is SO pretty and the story is so interesting!! I love how the story doesn’t romanticize everything that happens and gives each character consequences for their actions

Lost in the Cloud

I love this manhwa SO MUCH. love how it talks about dark subjects without romanticizing them. I see why this story is so popular with the way it realistically shows consequences for the characters actions. I can’t wait for this to finish

Kitanai Kimi ga ichiban kawaii

Ongoing | Manio | 2019 released

i was looking for some psychological yuri that had no weird sexual relationships and after giving up on trying to find those i gave in to the recommendations and encountered this. i saw the first few chapters and though that it was gross but i binged it and honestly, this would've been a good psychological story if it wasn't as sexualized as it is. this was definitely written more for people who have weird fetishes (especially because of the way that they're depicted while they're in highschool?) but besides that, both of the main characters personalities are sorta ? ? ? interesting and the ending is really sad but i just wish we got more closure for the characters

Pound of Flesh

Ongoing | | 2022 released

the flesh eating metaphor in this manhwa is about how in a world where sharing flesh (having sex) with others is normal and universally enjoyed, people are often also coerced into sharing their flesh or consuming others flesh. and what really disturbed me about it was the director trying to pressure the main girl into "eating his flesh" and saying "you'll ruin the fun!" if she declined. his passive aggressive attitude towards her after she said no was so realistic that it made me feel so bad for her, especially because she felt bad if she declined, even if she didn't want to "eat his flesh". my favorite part was the scene with the two girls giving each other consent to "eat each other's flesh", which sadly, was probably the most heartwarming scene in this story. this story was disturbing, and the metaphor they used for sexual assault/sex coercion/sex work could've been done better
