haven't read a manhwa in a while and wow i'm so glad i waited for this to be finished bc i'm so in love with this aaaa i love how this had everything that i like >< i love the action, mystery, childhood friends, and their comedic dynamic i'm just going to give a brief review here since this is a story that has some elements of surprises within so i'll leave that for y'all to see~ but i just want to point out how hanhoo is a red and green flag at the same time hsksjsjjd he's the type of red flag i can't get mad at he's violent, possessive, narcissistic, stubborn, etc. but not when it comes to chansol ^^ i mean there are times that he has the tendencies but his violence or red flags aren't directed to chansol (idk how to explain it but he does those things in order to protect chansol) not excusing him for his red flags but i mean i love the guy he's charismatic HAHA anyway as for chansol, we love a strong MC :D i love his personality and how he handles hanhoo well ^^ i've never laughed this much while reading a manhwa in a while >< i genuinely love their humour esp their cute when they bicker with each other :> i wanna mention other characters but i'll just keep it short, i love colette, myung, herman, mateo, perro, and all the other office friends chansol made ^^ they're really nice <3 i didn't expect herman to be a laid back uncle (i thought he was gonna more strict and become like slight antagonist but nah he's just a worrisome uncle because of his two crazy nephews overall i love the plot so much !! i've never encountered a story similar to this one esp with the arms company thing, it had a very unique concept and the way the story unfolds is smooth~ there were time na i kind of anticipated it but i mean ig its just bc i've read too much mystery type of stories that i already become suspicious and expect the craziest things but i swear the ending and the surprises still caught me off guard !! the author really did a good job at making the story flow well~ ❣️ its so well-made i love this so much >< i just hoped we got to see more of them after being officially together but the last chapters were pretty cute ^^ also i love their lines esp when hanhoo confessed PLEASE i still cry over that ㅠㅠ its one of my fave quotes now :(( thats probably why i can't hate the guy, he's a sweet guy jsjsjjdjd idk what else to say but this is a masterpiece !! can't wait to see more works from this artist ^^ i'll also reread this when i get the free time bc i really got hooked since the very beginning and there weren't any boring parts the art style is so so pretty too !! this is my cup of tea this is a gem !! i really enjoyed this one, very read worthy

okay so i don't really like reading books with multiple stories but the first part of this book had a continuation which i'm looking forward to although their relationship here didn't seem quite appealing bc it was kind of all over the place but i have hope for the sequels bc it had good ratings and the final panel and extras for the main couple were kind of cute so i'm giving them a chance ^^ for the second couple, this is the reason i rated is 3 stars bc wtf was that hdkshdjd ML is literally a red flag and the way he's aware and telling the MC he "trained" him for that pls that's so disgusting and traumatizing for the MC :< i just felt bad for him the whole time so 2nd couple is a no but the third couple balanced everything bc they were just fluffy all over >< i wish they had a longer story and the 2nd couple was just removed but yea i was pretty satisfied with couple #3 bc they had the healthiest build up and relationship out of all the couples present in this book <33 overall this was an average read, very mid bc the plot for the first couple was quite confusing and their relationship had visible red flags but they ended in a cute way (kind of), then 2nd couple instant drop bc everything was just a no, and lastly the 3rd couple bringing wholesome and sweetness to the table ^^ the art style's gorgeous too i really love this author's art style !! i've also read a bunch of their works so i'm looking forward to the sequels though i'm kind of expecting some angst there~ this was an okay read :>

this was a pretty good sequel !! everything made much more sense esp with the brief timeline by the uploader (?) i said that i was kind of confused with the plot and everything that's happening in the first installment but it was all explained here so i'm pretty satisfied with that ^^ i came in knowing that kabu will have his red flag tendencies and all but i think it wasn't that bad ?? like if i were to compare him to the other yakuza MLs, i think he's one of the good ones :> its not gonna be realistic if he were to be such a nice person but he never r worded nirasawa (just that time when he first let go of him to try "forgetting" his feelings or whatever) but that doesn't mean i like the guy there's another sequel so i'm looking forward to that but i must say, his character development's quite good here :)) the plot's quite messy in the beginning but again it did make sense afterwards, i think this is one of the yakuza plots that i really liked ^^ of course there are still your typical tropes and arcs but i think i quite enjoyed the storytelling here :D it wasn't the frustrating type as well and it also had some angst & comedy here and there so i enjoyed it ^^ i just want nirasawa to be happy and be treated better pls the guy has been through so much i just want to see him live a happy life >< overall this was a pretty good sequel ^^ i enjoyed it even though its not really my go-to types of plot i think the author did a good job with the storyline :> i wish kabu would reciprocate the ilys though wjjdjhdhd i mean he did say it once in the extra from the first book but i wanna see him reassure nirasawa bc the guy keeps thinking that he doesn't mean anything to kabu :(( i think he did reassure him while they had angry sex on the extras but i kind of want to see more soft and domestic scenes from them so i hope there's stuff like that on the final sequel~ (though its probably impossible bc this is a yakuza genre lol) also kouki is a very confusing character lol idk if i like him or not anyway i think the art style got even prettier this time around !! i'm obsessed with it this was a good read !!

this was a nice sequel !! i think this is my fave out of the 3 installments bc i felt like the plot was more polished ^^ i feel like even though this had more angst/gore i think there were more sweet scenes with kabu and nirasawa :> ik that kabu loves nirasawa but i just want him to say ily hsjdjshdhsh but he did say it the the first volume and nirasawa just thought he took drugs or something so i guess i kind of understand for not saying it when he was awake anyway, i think the plot was quite nice :)) it was wrapped up in a very emotional yet sweet scene >< i'm glad that they finally get to be happy together~ i'm happy that kabi finally gave nirasawa na reassurances that he deserved <33 the extra was so funny and adorable >< i wish we got more extras here like the one is the 2nd installment but i was pretty satisfied ^^ i also got some domestic marriage life tease so i'm pretty happy abt that overall this book closed the series in a very nice and clean way !! everything became clear and there weren't any plot holes (imo) ^^ the couple had their happy ending too <33 not much red flags for kabu (but there are still some parts where he became slightly violent though ig bc he was grieving abt his father so that triggered it but still its abuse in a way) at least i got to see some character development and he finally accepted his feelings for nirasawa :D as for nirasawa, i'm very happy for him >< he finally gets his love reciprocated and ig they can have some peace of mind now that they killed shao chen :> but i think that's only for a short period of time bc they are still part of the yakuza with kabu being the overall leader of the org so i just hope they'll be okay~ also i just love how supportive their members are ^^ the art style is gorgeous again, very obsessed this was a nice read !!
