bokutotiddies's manga / #angst level: mild(7)

yknow, i went into this knowing it would be sad, and i really enjoyed it a lot, but for some reason i'm not sad. i think its bc he died while fulfilling his dreams and they were able to have a proper goodbye. its upsetting that he loved him, but he also chose to adventure in the world even while knowing that he wouldnt be with his lover, so that was a decision he made. ofc no one expects that theyll die, but i think it was a less painful ending than if he had died after falling off the roof. still, this is so good for smth thats only 3 chapters. i enjoyed it! 8/10

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.

the side stories were interesting. tbh i never realized that jihyun actually raped him, which completely changes things. i sympathized a lot w him towards the end of the main story bc i didnt know that, but it makes his actions way more unforgivable and im glad he got the ending he did now. and in the alternative universe when they actually end up together, i still dont like them together. chiwoo looks hot w long hair tho.

so i only added this bc i wanted to read abt a melanin king and i was mad disappointed when i realized that he wouldnt even be in the endgame couple at the end. also it seems mand racist that the one brown character is like the worst human in this series. smh they shouldve switched his character w the puppy boy character. anyways this was kinda sad. jihyun was a horrible friend and person to chiwoo even before assaulting (and raping?) him so that was depressing to read but i still felt bad for him sorta. not much tho. i also started it planning only to read like one or two chaps but it really drew me in! i couldnt drop it after i reached like 10 chaps so yeah! it was pretty good!

maan this was so cute. the cover intially attracted me to it but the plot is actually so interesting. im like kinda glad on one hand that its so short, so the conflict didnt last for too long, bc like oof amnesia-forgetting-loved-ones angst is the worst angst ever fr. but on the other hand, i kinda wish there was more of them happy and in love. fuck his friend from high school or whatever im glad he gave up but he was scary af. 9/10 only bc its so short

fuck i cried reading this. its so short but its so impactful. i hate the war so much its so pointless and i cant and never will be able to understand its purpose. what the fuck are we fighting for so badly that its worth the countless lives lost or ruined? its shit like this that makes me so grateful for the peaceful life i have. i can move on from this and spend the rest of my day without sparing a thought for my or my family's well being, but thats not the case for so many others and it makes me so sad. i never want to live like that either tho. 10/10
