nini's manga / #Angst(36)

now this is one of the most realistic yaoi story i've read !! really heart wrenching, it felt like a rollercoaster ride im just happy that they both ended up together and im happy for noboru too a good read !!

lemme just say i cried my eyes out reread + watched the live action (220624): omfg this never gets old :'> i've read this multiple times already and everytime i do i still end up bawling my eyes out :'DD i reread the manga while watching the live action and i can't describe what i'm feeling rn :')) i love the ending of the live action bc they showed the happy moments and ended it when they reached the age of 40 but i also loved the ending of the manga since it leaned towards the bittersweet meaning and realistic side of life which is in the title itself idk what else to say bc this is literally one of the best mangas to ever exist bc of how realistic the plot is !! it really showcased how toxic our society is and how painful it is to live by what others tell you to do~ it also really focused on the couple's growing relationship and how much it changed as the years went by >< but one thing remained, and its that they loved each other so much :'> i really felt all the emotions present in this story which is why i always end up soaked in tears ^^ i have a lot more to say esp abt the characters but i think it'll be more fun if i just reread it again after i slightly forget the plot to relive the pain (≡^∇^≡) its truly a masterpiece and definitely a must read !! the art style is amazing as well i've already recommended it to a lot of my friends bc i need them to suffer with me :DD this is such a worth it read !! and a must watch as well !! the actors in the live action did such a great job portraying it irl ^^ i also cried while watching it :')) i swear both are masterpieces

wasnt really my cup of tea, it was really painful to see the omega getting treated like that :( im happy he got paired with that alpha pls hes the sweetest >< i liked them more when i read the sequel bc i felt more connection to them there !! im happy for the omega bc he finally got to be paired with the one he loves and hes now free from all the abuse ☹️

i cried so hard bye this was so good i felt so bad pls i cant imagine how much pain sakai felt < the story's so good i love the flow of it aaaa its cliche but im really into it also the art's gorgeous im inlove with this one aaaaa great read

it was good but rushed, i feel like the end was too rushed :0 they just met and suddenly they were fcking each other and the thing that i didnt like the most was they still kept on calling him kuro, its like they still hadn't moved on yet which feels kind of painful :< rui's relationship with a.i. kuro was good though !! i really loved the development but the ending just wasnt for me, maybe if there was bit more development rather than them doing it without even knowing a thing abt each other, then that would've been much better. overall it was wholesome yet angsty but the end was unsatisfying, but i think it was still a good read + the art looks amazing

so uh this started off meh :0 bc of the dubcon in the first chapter D: the plot was quite confusing but thanks to the comments i kind of get it now ?? (my reading comprehension sucks <3) anyway i mean the story's good, i think ?? there were some parts that i was uncomfy (but i mean maybe thats just me) i really like to read stories with tropes like this, esp assassin x target ones !! but the thing is i didnt really feel the development of their feelings (?) idk if they really love each other :0 the plot was very interesting though ^^ i wish the ending didnt just stop there and they showed us more of the couple's relationship but overall it was an ok read + art looks fantastic

this is so freaking good oml ㅠㅠ just the right amount of pain and happiness ~ the plot was very well written, i really love the dialogues !! i love how the author made it look like shiina was longing for kasumi (i mean which he is) but it was actually kasumi who confessed and got rejected by shiina ಥ_ಥ sorry im not really good at explaining but what im trying to say is i didnt expect it to be like that, i was thinking of the best friend unrequited love trope but in this case they are mutually pining for each other o(╥﹏╥) ik from the beginning that shiina prolly had a reason as to why he rejected kasumi bc he looks like a very open-minded person but bc he grew up in a very strict and perfectionist family he thought that if he accepted kasumi's love then he could "corrupt" him as well, which like fcking hurt me bc its so sad to see someone have that mindset bc thats what was ingrained to them by their parents theres nothing wrong with loving someone :( the plot was so realistic and it really hits you hard ╥﹏╥ i usually dont like angsty mangas but this manga made me want to read angst bc i love how it ends on a happy note !! it just feels satisfying to read <3 overall the plot was amazing it was very well made !! the pacing was so good as well gawd >< even though this was just a short manga, we really got to see both of the MCs past and how their love came to be which made it feel so complete i wish we got to see more of them after being official but the ending was so good ❣ i love seeing their happy and contented faces ㅠㅠ this is a masterpiece !! it deserves a higher rating ^^ also the art looks amazing i love the chibis so adorable (↑ω↑) this was such a great read and i really regret avoiding this manga i avoided this bc everyone in the comments were crying and as i said earlier, i dont really like reading angsty mangas but now i think i want to venture that path bc this was too good not to read !!!!!

i've got to say abt this bc this was so freaking good i didnt really expect much bc of the rating but omfg yall this is so so good !!! this is not your typical bl plot istg ㅠㅠ the angst in both stories im so into it grrrr >< ok so for the first story, i really like arranged marriage plots in general but this was a bit dif from that since yamato is inlove with the guy his sister is arranged to which is so interesting esp how we got to see how their relationship unfolds !! ngl i did already expect that type of scenario leading up to the end but i still really really liked it ^^ the execution of it is so good, i really liked how the author incorporated yamato's love for art as the bridge between him and sakaguchi (idk how to explain it but you'll get what i mean when u read it ) im glad that nobody was hurt in the process and yamato's sister was actually inlove with somebody else as well :D the ending was so freaking cute :( i love them !! ngl i wanted to see more but i was actually satisfied with its ending !! just seeing them happy and living their life without shackles gives me serotonin ok now onto the second couple, omfg i freaking love them ㅠㅠ i think i like them more than the first one just bc it had more plot twists and the amount of angst and tension i felt in the short amount of pages were amazing like i didnt expect that much story in just a few pages !! i was legit gonna cry when narumi confessed bc ik it wont end well and that he'll prolly live in sadness of keith gets executed :( but omg im so glad that it wasnt keith, i had a gut feeling that it wasnt gonna be keith but i didnt expect joerge to be the real culprit like i was legit crying bc i felt kind of attached to him idk why (╥﹏╥) he looked so nice and he felt like some father figure, it was such a shock to me ☹️ anyway im so so happy for narumi and keith they look so cute together >< i just love police bl idk why theres something abt it that intrigues me im so glad that theyre now partners both at work and in their personal lives hihi ^^ i wish we could've seen more of them dating and stuff but overall i was pretty satisfied with the ending !! both stories are a masterpiece as well as the art style i'll prolly reread this such a worth it read !!

ok so i've been putting off reading this bc the tags looked intimidating it had dark, tragedy, bullying, etc. and i cant really handle that much drama so i avoided this, but honestly it wasnt THAT bad like it had some parts that you'll really feel heartbroken and pained but it ended on a happy note so :D when i read it at first, it really piqued my interest bc i havent really read much abt body swapping stories and the plot is really interesting !! though after the whole story, i was left with a lot of questions and it just left me unsatisfied ?? idk how to explain it but like i wanted taemin to get back to his old body bc it didnt feel right but i mean ig both him and woojin are living lives that arent theirs which is also pretty interesting but anyway abt the real siwon i felt so bad for him like he just suddenly died and no one really cared abt him :( he was such a good brother :< and the fact that his brother and joohoon never regretted a thing just gets on my nerves (๑•̀д•́๑) like jiwook was actually like proud (?) when he told siwon (taemin) abt why real siwon committed suicide ?? hes so sick and twisted omfg :/ overall the plot was pretty interesting and unique !! i liked it but there were some parts that felt incomplete and i didnt like how woojin kept on kissing and touching him without consent :0 and also the fact that they knew who siwon was but they never really cared abt the fact that siwon committed suicide just bothers me :( also im a bit confused if taemin and woojin are keeping their identities hidden from their friends or not ?? bc they kept calling each other by their real names so i was confused bc we never saw them telling their friends abt their past etc. and they even called each other by name at the scene where jiwook confessed abt what he did :0 there were lots of unanswered questions thats why i wasnt satisfied but i mean this was the author's first work and for a first time its really good !! the plot was very unique and it made me feel a rollercoaster of emotions ~ i also love the art style ngl i didnt really understand the cd scenario like im still confused abt that part so i'll prolly reread hehe ^^ i mean i enjoyed it but i wish there was more closure and stuff but anyway this was a good read
