Secret Alliance

Complete | Lero | 2000 released

okay. i loved this. im feeling so many SO MANY emotions rn for all the characters and im just mostly upset that its over. god. i dont know. im most perplexed on how to feel about yul. i understand that he was definitely fucked up and he was insane to go to the lengths he did. even in their relationship he was overly possessive and literally provoked a guy into harassing her knowing that she had severe issues with men. thats AWFUL and i know that. but i cant help but feel so fucking bad for him. his home life was abusive and refused to nurture him and he was bullied for no reason bc of his face. i can understand wanting to keep safe and being possessive of the frist person that was kind to you. mostly im just so glad he didnt die. its been a little while since ive cried so hard over a fictional character, but yul really made me sob. i just pity him so much. hes also so beautiful but terrifying at the same time i spent far too long staring at the panels of just him, even when he was yuri (especially her fits, they were sooo cute). i think it says something abt how great of a character he is that i loved him so much despite everything he did (maybe the fact that he looks exactly my type also has a role in that yikes). i really wanted him to have a happier ending. it was left pretty ambiguous but i suppose knowing that he was able to move on is enough. i swear its always the characters i care most about that are given ambiguous endings. i really liked yujin a lot, even from the beginning. he was adorable once he fell in love w her and after the timeskip but i loved the brief banter we got from them in the beginning too. i was able to root for him and sian even while lowkey rooting for yul bc of how great yujin was. sian made me a little angry at times but i did like her character development after the timeskip. and i think given everything she went thru she has the right to be a little weird. the art is gorgeous of course and im really happy that i was able to read the majority of it on lezhin. i enjoyed this sooo much i started worrying about it ending from like chapter 20 loool. i was also surprised that this wasnt a BL tbh i went into this thinking it was. i was also expecting smut, which HONESTLY wouldve been the only thing to make this story better. overall, 9.5/10 i really enjoyed it a lot and i wanna reread 100%.

Sekine-kun no Koi

Complete | kawachi haruka | 2000 released

i really liked this. it was really mature and interesting to say the least. i cant say i understand sekines perspective but it was so interesting to see his insight on life. hes so beautiful too, he reminded me of akaashi, which only hurt my feelings more. their relationship was so frustrating and even though it did work out in the end, i really wish we couldve gotten that earlier without the misunderstandings. the lack of communication hurt me deeply lol. i adore sekine though and i wanted to best for him especially after all the traumatizing things that have happened to him. i really really liked doujima and his unrequited love story too and im so upset he doesnt have his own story. i guess i shouldnt be surprised though, i mean this isnt shoujo manga. sigh, this was good but i feel so unsatisfied even though i liked the ending. i suppose im just greedy like that. my heart was so heavy seeing sekine cry and fall in love for the first time and it still feels somewhat heavy. after reading some replies i get why. he never really addresses everything he went through, properly vents to anyone and has someone listen and understand him, or face his issues head-on and achieve catharsis. we dont get to see any of that, however, i guess that's what makes it so realistic. normal people don't get to magically forget all their issues and move forward. i went into this pretty blindly but im glad i read it. overall probably an 8/10, mainly bc of the speedy conclusion.

Shokuryou Jinrui

Complete | Kuraishi Yuu,Mizutani Kengo | 2000 released

yknow - i was honestly expecting to hate this and was really just in it for the shock factor but im genuinely surprised by how much i liked it. ofc it was one of the goriest stories ive ever read and very very disturbing but i really liked the concept and grew to like all the main characters. the art is so fucking good and i flew thru this like it was nothing bc it never got boring. even the ending was surprisingly happy all things considered. i simped for both natsune and the ponytail sex-fiend genius the entire time. theyre both hot as hell and im so glad natsune bb made it out. i loved the small bio lessons every couple chapters too. several moments had me absolutely dread-filled and maybe im just desensitized and morbid but it wasnt unbearable at all. i liked this tbh. overall - 8/10

Kimi ni Ienai Koto ga Aru

Complete | mofumofu edako | 2019 released

hi okay imma be honest this was one of the best bls ive read and the fact that it was so short is CRIMINAL but the way it had such an impact on me with such little content is incredible. this was so fucking great, from the characters to the plot to the structure of their relationship to the art style to the underlying message shared. im in love. ugh, i love kyousuke so much and i relate so much with the mentality of not knowing whether something is "right or wrong" and being too afraid to pursue anything that seems wrong. but hes also everything i want to be, from his self-assuredness and motivation and work drive. hes inspirational but pitiful at the same time. i cried reading this. i only ever cry for long ass works that have time to play w my emotions but this did it for me within the 5th chapter. i loved this so much. i want to read the rest of the authors works if theyre even half this good. ugh. so fucking good. 10/10 literally. the only issue is that its so short. i could read 50 chapters about them and not grow tired. cant wait to reread.

this was good! i liked the second couple more than the first one for sure tho. the first one was kinda frustrating to read about bc of them both being ass at communicating with e/o but it was gratifying when they actually got together. the second one was so funny and i loved the one-sided pining and how quickly they got together. i also related a lot w his mentality in a relationship and i found it difficult to pick a side when they argued. they were also really funny and super sweet, especially onada. it was a cute read - 7/10

A Thousand Cranes

Complete | Jung Seokchan | 2000 released

SOB. SUCH A CUTE STORY. considering one of the mls is a murderer, this was surprisingly sweet and wholesome. craig IS SO PRECIOUS ive been attached to him since like the first chapter bc of how hardworking and lovely he is. hes also like really attractive, even more so than dean. i feel like i still have a few questions - like why was theo presented as a male due to her dads abuse? and why did dean have to be the one that dealt the finishing blow and murder ppl even after having henchmen who can do it for him? but like whateva their romance was so pure. PERFECT amount of smut too? like i was so excited when it was time for the seggs bro and it wasnt overbearing at all! the deeper aspects were really tragic and tugged at the heartstrings, tbh more so craigs situation than deans for me. i really wish this was longer too, it totally couldve been but i loved the lack of misunderstandings and how easily complications were solved. OH ALSO - DEAN IS THE KING OF CONSENT AND RESPECT BRO. LITERALLY he was so so sweet and in love and never forced himself or was aggressive and hurt craig at any point. hes perfect. overall 9/10

Walk on Water

Complete | Jaxx,Jang Mokdan | 2000 released

this is so good!! ive thought this from the beginning but i love the maturity in the main character's narration. it stuck me how realistic ed's thought process was compared to things i see in the more childish manhwas and mangas ive read. obviously this one had way more mature themes too other than just seggs. it was actually pretty fascinating to see what might go down at a porn shooting (well a very high quality one) and the trials faced when it all came to light proved to be devastating even as a reader. i really really liked ed. i loved the way he handled shit, from being savage as FUCK in arguments and throwing away chang at the end, but also his ability to stay strong when it came to not caving into a toxic, yet tempting relationship. he was so honest about the resentment he felt towards mcqueen (which he had EVERY right to btw) and i related w the guilt that comes with wanting to hurt the one you love sometimes bc you feel that they deserve it. i couldnt give a fuck about chang but i loved mcqueen too (other than the gross rapist portrayal in his porno) he was hot as fuck and respectful as fuck too. anywaysss 8/10.

Save Me

Complete | 1230 | 2016 released

this was pretty good. i hated the bullying scenes so much, hyeongoh was so cute and kind that it hurt a lot to watch. im glad that the brothers were able to reunite but it sucks that we couldnt see more scenes of them actually getting along. also i feel like it wouldve been nice to see hyeongohs reaction whn he found out? namsoo being kinda mentally off made it difficult to get attached to his character and feel pity for him but like i liked him a lot regardless. i just want the best for hyeongoh hes such a cutiepie and i hope he lives a happy life from now on. seeing how in love their parents were hurt so much bc they wouldve been such a lovely family if it werent for that fucking bitch that killed them i hope shes rotting away somewhere. i love that all the bullies got exactly what they deserved. the art was so nice too. ngl like 45/60 chapters were boring like i understand the necessity for them but it only really got interesting towards the end. overall it was alright, 7/10.

An Uncomfortable Truth

Complete | EErun | 2016 released

i feel sick. what was the reason to fucking kill jaeha. there was nothing to gain and he deserved the best out of all of them. why show the same character suffering again and again. i hate this so much i feel so empty. what the fuck was this ending, i wish i hadnt read this. or i wish i stopped 5 chapters ago. this is bullshit. what was the reason to kill him. this is the most unsatisfying ending ive ever read. he doesnt even realize he killed his own brother. and why did he kill all those random people. just, what the fuck. i liked this so much but now i hate it. i wish i hadnt read. this is bullshit i feel awful. nothing was resolved????? it just ended in tragedy? what the actual FUCK. theres tears streaming down my face but i dont understand! what the fuck was this ending.

Paradise View

Complete | kojima lalako | 2013 released

im gonna choose to ignore 8.1s existence and i barely skimmed over it too so lets just assume that the events that took place when they were like in their 50s okay? its all good. anyways! this was a sad read. tbh after the first part i was kinda like meh abt them as a couple, maybe bc of how quickly they had gotten together? idk but i wasnt feeling it that much. but once some angst was added to the mix, i started to love tomohisa to absolute bits and kinda started hating hideo. he was so indecisive and kept trying to use tomohisa's "happiness" as an excuse not to sort out his own issues. it pissed me off and honestly i wouldve been cool w tomohisa ending up w his doc bff instead. but i am glad they worked it out together and pulled thru. its a huge decision to drop your entire life and move to a foreign country like that, so it shows his commitment and im happy that tomohisa was able to live happily until the end. it wasnt necessarily a relatable problem, since they both really loved e/o even thruout their break but it still hurt. agh. i still dont really like hideo tho tbfh. he just rubbed me the wrong way. he doesnt deserve tomohisa at all. whatever tho. 8/10
