bokutotiddies's manga / #dark(39)

that was actually so fucking good. and i didnt even realize it til i was like 10 chapters from finishing. there were so many things that almost detered me and so many points i actually almost dropped it at but im so glad i didnt. i really REALLY liked how realistic everything was. people dont act like characters in most manga or manhwa stories, so i was really annoyed when everything didnt work out like it usually does in other stories. only then did it hit me how realistic it was. i probably wouldve acted the exact same way junwoo did in so many situations, even tho while reading it i found him obnoxious and selfish. hes so real. i relate with him a lot. im so glad they ended up with each other and found the courage to move forward together. the story was actually so very dark but also very motivating at some points. i really liked how junwoo was the one who eventually gained the courage to take a step forward, despite all the people who were pushing for him to do it. i hate to say it but i also relate with the hikikomori lifestyle this past year. i havent done anything for myself in a long time and i hate myself for not moving forward. my social anxiety has also been getting worse so thats there. junwoo being told that its never too late to start something was really nice to hear. wooyeon's past made me cry and his ex lover's note was so sweet and inspirational it almost made me get up and start getting to living life. authors note at the end was also very motivational. ugh i'm annoyed w myself for disliking it at the start, i think it was the art style (only for the faces) that i didnt like. and also the bad translations for the first like 7 chapters. i liked how much plot > smut there was. the smut was good but a good plot always beats that. but overall, i really liked it 8/10 (if you asked me at the halfway point i wouldve given it like a 4, thats how good the ending was)

im ten chapters in and i genuinely feel like it has to be illegal for me to be reading this. i feel sick to my stomach and my anxiety is really acting up. i honestly hate this a lot. im gonna continue reading but if this somehow becomes a romance i will stop reading right away because what the ACTUAL fuck??????? edit: so. im on chapter 54. and im just fucking confused at this point. are we supposed to fucking ship this. i dont care that their relationship was somewhat cute (and just as toxic) in high school. this man BRUTALLY raped him for months. he KIDNAPPED HIM AND TORTURED HIM. there is no way in HELL im gonna fucking take this if they end up together. i dont care if dohyun remembers his memories now and hes giving consent. what that bitch did to him was absolutely barbaric. what the fuck is this. i dont get why ppl are like "this has a good ending!!" like what. jfc. dohyun better beat the shit out of him and escape. i dont give a fuck about the other guy. btw - this is so traumatizing and triggering i genuinely feel drained reading it. i hate the way it makes me feel but im gonna finish it since ive come this far. edit: ok im finally done. and they ended up together. honestly it was written well so i dont want to give it 1 star just bc i didnt like the story so...yeah. i sympathize with sungho more now i guess but i still cant look past the rape and torture. i feel really really bad for dohyun and i think if his life had been more put together before and after the whole kidnapping, he wouldnt have to feel the need to rely on sungho. its only bc he genuinely had no reason to live that he ended up growing attached to him. whatever. i dont support it but theyre both fucked up people (sungho way fucking more demented) so if they make each other happy i guess i cant complain. i do feel like sungho will fucking snap one day and just tie him up or smth and start torturing him. hes terrifying. whatever. def wont be reading this again. was a total mindfuck and i almost cried twice, once from disgust and once from confusion bc of the translations and the plot itself. 5/10.

i didnt realize there would be two stories bundled in this, but this was very sweet. the first one is what i came for and though i enjoyed it, i wish there had been more. we really only got to see them together for like half of one chapter and i didnt get the feeling that katsuki had truly forgiven himself yet even though he said ily. the art style is so gorgeous i love this kind of manga art the most. both were sweet, id give it a total of 6/10.

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

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%.

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

this is one of the first mangas that i read on this site, so its one that ive been staying updated with for some time now, over the past year. it was really good throughout and im really glad there was a happy ending for them both. i was anxious that it would take a dark twist at any moment but it all worked out so yay. i just wish rize didnt call him brother when they were fucking yknow? LOL. like even when theyre alone, why keep up the act sldfjsd. but then again i dont think her perception of him as her "brother" is necessarily a familial one, just someone who is a constant presence of comfort and love for her. so its awks for the reader but thats just how she was raised i guess. anyways this was great. 9/10

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

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.
