➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ its been a while since i've read a completed manhwa in (technically) one sitting and i have my mouth wide open bc this was so freaking good !! i'm not really into this type of dynamic but omfg i feel in love with them >< the plot was unique since i've never encountered anything like this before !! it had the amount of drama and angst along with a bit of sweetness~ i really love yeonjin's inner monologues esp when hes describing the feelings he has for munhyeok ^^ its so deep and poetic i really felt it :> the pacing was really nice even though this only had 63 chapters which is pretty short esp with a plot like this that has a lot of drama involved, i really got to see their development and the story didn't feel unfinished ^^ there were some plot holes or maybe i should say unclear parts like what was the real reason jeong mu killed wu cha gang bc as far as i'm concerned it looks like he was also fucking yeonjin's dad and even says that hes much better than wu cha gang so idk why he would need to go to such lengths when he himself said those things and i could also see some hints of feelings involved between the two~ the next thing that was unclear to me was abt kang seohyuk, they never really gave us an elaborate explanation as to why he "betrayed" wu cha gang ?? (idk if i missed it or not) munhyeok hated him since the beginning and they wanted to k!ll him i think ?? but they suddenly just become friends towards the end ???? yea that bit was kind of confusing but maybe i'm the problem since i read this at midnight so my brain was probably not processing things well anyway so for their dynamic, it wasn't as toxic as i expected ^^ there wasn't any strings attached at the beginning and they had an agreement so ig it was okay ^^ they're not toxic in a way that one person is abusing another but its more of their set-up thats kind of toxic ?? iykyk lol overall i liked this A LOT !! like i never expected to have my emotions be played around ksjdskjdkd its so good ㅠㅠ the ending felt bittersweet in a way ^^ i'm glad that they didn't rush them into meeting again once munhyeok got out of prison bc it added more angst, and it also made me feel that they're really inlove with each other even after 8 years of being separated >< i have a lot more to say but i think this is getting too long but yea i'm happy with the timeskip, i'm glad we also got to see that the kids along with moran were doing well <3 i'm happy that both of them got the freedom and happiness they deserved ♡ i really love the ending panel, it had so much emotion and i just love them so much they deserve to be happy :(( i really want to say more but i'm ending this here just know that this is really a worth it read !! this is a masterpiece the art style is also very pretty and detailed ❣️ this was an amazing read !!

Negative Psychological Distance

Ongoing | ZHUANG NING,jiu ran | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was actually pretty nice ^^ you can read it in one sitting since each chapter isn't that long compared to other manhuas so it's a quick and enjoyable read :> the plot itself was really good too ^^ i think it was well executed esp for a manhua bc a lot of manhuas tend to have such complicated or bland plots, but this one was actually smooth and well thought out ^^ there were some predictable parts but it's fine bc i still liked how it all turned out esp with the adorable ending~ i'm still doubting the end though bc i think there we'll get some more crumbs from them esp at how rushed the ending panel seemed but overall it was good <3 the pacing was quite fast though like esp with them doing it after the seaside scene but i mean they were cute and it was a sweet moment so i'll give them a pass i love the character development of gu ying esp the fact that it wasn't his true self which is why he acted like a douche in the first parts ^^ wish we got to see a clearer confession and exchange of affection but i mean they're both pretty clingy with each other so ig i'll give them another pass bc i also got attached to them hehe ❣️ dr. shen's colleagues are so supportive and his boss even got to be with m which is just cute >< i hope we get more side stories i wanna see them as a side couple too huhu ㅠㅠ but yea this was pretty nice and i didn't expect to like it a lot the art style is so pretty too i love the chibis they're so freaking adorbs >< this was a good read !!

Shizuku Hanabira Ringo no Kaori

Complete | kawai touko | 2008 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was a pretty fun read ^^ i really liked their dynamic though i wish shuu was just a little bit more affectionate like just a little bit >< i love this dynamic but i prefer colder bottoms bc i love it when the MLs are the ones chasing them hehe :> mutsuki is adorable ^^ he's pretty persistent but it didn't really reach an annoying state :] even though shuu was a cold ML, we could still see how he shows his love and affection for mutsuki in his own ways ^^ the only part i didn't like was when he slapped mutsuki bc i don't see the reason for that :/ it was really toxic of him, but other than that they're pretty cute and funny <3 the pacing was quite fast at the beginning but there was a 1 year time skip before they officially went out so ig it was an okay pace :> gramps and haruna are adorable though we must admit gramps is a bit harsh at first, but i love his character development, how he came to love mutsuki and even became his favorite bc they play shogi together which is just adorable ♡ haruna is a sweetheart i love her <33 overall this was pretty good ^^ i wish we got to see them come out to shuu's family but i'm satisfied with the thought that shuu's okay with telling them anytime and when mutsuki's ready ^^ i'm also glad that he atleast said the "ily" word once bc i wouldn't have been satisfied if that scene didn't occur lol and i'm also glad we got to see them live together and be all domestic >< the ending was pretty cute and i love that the author cleared my doubts abt shuu bc i really thought he was saying mean things to mutsuki bc of his weight (of course making your partner feel self-conscious is still mean so i'm not excusing him for that) but yea it turns out he was just teasing him bc his reactions were "interesting" to him ಠಿ_ಠ anyway other than that i enjoyed this esp with its humour ^^ the art style is very pretty too !! mutsuki is gorgeous this was a good read !!

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this is one of the best manhuas i've read !! i'm obsessed with this dynamic >< its so unique and interesting ^^ i love the healthy competition they have with each other <3 the plot was pretty simple but it had some realistic and proper conflicts ^^ i love that shu yun's dad had a quick character development and that the conflicts present in this story wasn't annoying at all and they were resolved easily~ i love how supportive tong yang's grandpa with his relationship >< its unfortunate that he died but at least he lived a good life and hes not in pain anymore :(( i also love the wholesome relationship tong yang has with his brother >< they might not be from the same mother but they still love and care each other <33 i'm also glad that as the years went by, his father also got to appreciate and be proud of him when they saw him on tv (╥﹏╥) i love how the author gave everyone a character development (except for lan du lol jshsjjsd but i'm glad he's out of the picture now and hopefully hes moved on already) i love the wholesome relationship shu yun and tong yang have~ you can really feel the connection and how both of them grew feelings for each other ♡ they were both clueless and shy towards one another which caused misunderstandings but after being together, they were so fluffy and adorable >< though i wish we got to see more of their sweet/fluffy scenes but they're mostly cute and fluffy and i understand that there aren't any visible kissing or whatsoever bc this is a manhua :> but i'm glad that the author gave us a 9-year time skip which gave me butterflies bc i just love seeing the growth and maturity they now have ㅠㅠ esp with them finally living together waaa >< tong yang's brother is also grown up now and i'm proud of him too i also love how the author showed some backstory behind the side couple ^^ you you is such a great friend i'm glad that he's always there to support and take care of shu yun (´ω`) he is indeed like a mother to him~ overall this was such a wholesome and adorable read <33 i immediately got hooked bc i've never had this type of pairing before and i really like how healthy their relationship is esp with them being competitors of each other ^^ all the characters are lovable and fun to read and again i like that each one of them had some character development :> the ending was so sweet and heartwarming ♡ plus the side stories were adorable, we got to see a glimpse of their domesticity >< (wish we got to see moe though ackk) the art style is very pretty too it has a warm vibe and i just love how gentle and gorgeous it is ❣️ this was a literal hidden gem bc why did i only encounter this story now !! it's amazing and definitely a reread material

Kiss me, Liar

Complete | Zig | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★☆☆☆ ➷ characters: ★☆☆☆☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★☆☆☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★☆☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★☆☆☆ ※ i expected a lot from this one since it's quite popular and a friend recommended it to me but i also had some reasons why i avoided to read this and that's bc of keith :D i read some comments before abt how toxic keith was, but i didn't expect it to be this bad :')) like ik he's not the worst since i've already read a lot with more twisted characters but the thing is keith is so unlikable i think if this story had more chapters that could really showcase keith's character development then i think it would've been better :> but yea it only contains 48 chapters (main story) and he was still a freaking asshole in chapter 30+ so he literally had less than 10 chapters to become mature which i don't think was enough to convice me that he changed which is why i didn't really got satisfied with how it ended :< ik the last panels were supposed to look adorable and wholesome but no, what i felt was pity towards yeonwoo bc he has to put up and raise a family with keith lol :'D the plot in itself had quite a lot of plot holes and most of it felt rushed, it wasn't that complicated though i did get confused with some parts~ esp with the scene where the driver betrayed him like idk but that was so out of the blue it just happened randomly which caught me off guard and it also felt quite awkward kksjdkjdjd the only good thing abt this story is emma, josh, charles, and spencer i'm sorry ㅠㅠ yeonwoo is quite annoying in a way too but he's a girl boss at some parts which is very rare for omegas so i liked that ^^ also the way the author made it so that the omegas were the ones to mark alphas are cool too since i've never encountered something like that :> overall this was not for me, i didn't enjoy anything, most of the characters surrounding yeonwoo were annoying and rude which is just sad :'( and i really hated the scene where he got r worded and keith told him to apologize for biting his r worder's dick like wtf idk that scene really made my blood boil and i could never forgive keith for that, esp when yeonwoo got so traumatized by it to the point that he got a mental illness and couldn't recover for months :(( anyway it's your choice to read it, it could get you a little bit hooked and it wasn't much of a chore since it only had 48 chapters :)) the art gradually became pretty as the chapters went on this was meh fr won't reread :'D

Ookami-sama no Koiwazurai

Complete | Tobi washio | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ ok so this one was kind of cute ^^ i love this type of dynamic esp with their personalities and characteristics (beastman x human) though i think the pacing was a bit too fast, i didn't really feel much connection and feelings from them~ haine's attitude isn't my cup of tea, he's not really a red flag but idk he just wasn't that likable for me :0 he's quite pushy but he seems nice ?? idk but his friends were funny and adorable ^^ natsuo's bunny friend was cute too <3 i love natsuo, he's like my fave type of MC hehe i like cold or expressionless MCs >< overall this was cute and i'm sure a lot of ppl would like this esp with the high rating :> but it just wasn't for me~ i like slow paced romances where i could really feel the connection ^^ it probably would've been better to have a vol. 2 to really see their development afterwards hehe :)) but the extras were cute <3 and haine seems to be a loyal, rich, and the spoiling type so natsuo's in good hands ^^ the art style's pretty too this was a good read !!

Hitori H Online

Ongoing | Megane めがね | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ i didn't expect such a healthy relationship ^^ i mean we didn't get to see much after they officially became lovers, but the events leading up to it were pretty healthy and smooth~ the pacing was a bit fast for me but it did end when they're still in the beginning of their relationship so it was fine ^^ this isn't my type of plot, i prefer cute and wholesome scenarios but this actually turned out good, there weren't unnecessary dramas and they were adorable in the end :> their dynamic is so good, its my fave personality pairing ^^ i love how mamiya didn't react in a "typical" way when hayato told him he saw his streams :D i really love his come back reply to that, he's a fiesty one i love the two moods mamiya has, when he's very focused and silent at work but then he turns into a needy babie when they're together at home >< hayato is a green flag ^^ like ik he didn't mean anything bad when he told mamiya that he saw his stream, i think he was just curious to see his reaction and mamiya delivered (´ω`) hayato's very understanding and caring, i love how he always compliments mamiya for the little things he do :(( overall this was a pretty light one ^^ if you're the type to read bls with more spice, i think this might be for you since it's mostly comprised of those scenes lol i wish we got to see more cute and wholesome dates but i was pretty satisfied with the ending ^^ i've read most of this author's works and so far i've liked them all, including this one so thats cool~ their art style is so gorgeous this was a good read !!

Kiss de tokashita sono ato ni

Complete | Masaki maki | 2019 released

✰ 4.5/5 omg finally something quite wholesome from this author jsjsjjdjdj ㅠㅠ i think i read every book they did and if i'm being honest most of them were not for me :'< but i did like the vampire one, its kind of my guilty pleasure hehe anyway back to this book, the plot was fine, its your typical childhood friends trope but ig with a twist with the stalker involved but tbh that part wasn't needed..... the situation was taken lightly but i mean u do u lol but yea it felt quite lackluster BUT i gave it five stars because i think the couple themselves were quite cute and wholesome ^^ i finally got some green flags from this author some people are saying that mizuki was weird for liking hiro at a young but i think that's pretty normal ??? i mean you can't really control one's feelings, and i'm sure he liked him bc of how clingy hiro was to him and not bc of sexual desires :> this is the reason i call him a green flag bc when he reached a certain age where he got urges/desires, he distanced himself from hiro knowing their age gap and stuff so i applaud him for that~ hiro wasn't an annoying character, i think he's adorable though the secondhand embarrassment i felt when mizuki caught him relieving himself was so painful ㅠㅠ i think their dynamic is fine ??? its my "in the middle" dynamic lol hshhshdh i love mizuki's brother's reaction when he knew abt them he just shrugged and i think he's supportive or idk he's kind of neutral but i'm glad he still cares for hiro hehe :)) overall their relationship was pretty healthy and the extras were so adorable >< i'm also glad that he got some closure with the stalker even though they didn't press charges~ i love how supportive hiro's coworker with their relationship too hihi she's so cute ^^ tbh the art was the redeeming factor for most of this author's work but i genuinely liked this one and of course i'm still obsessed with their art style the pacing felt okay since both of them already had feelings for each other ^^ this was a good read !!

You Are My Darling!!!

Complete | Sakurai Taiki | 2000 released

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was so freaking adorable :< i love them so much aaaaaa >< i wish we got to see more though, i really need a volume 2 ㅠㅠ the plot was your typical neighbors trope but it was slow paced and the author focused more on the MCs growth and self realizations (?) like the flow of the story was more focused on akitoki finding himself with the help of yorito (´ω`) i love how both of them were each other's strength to move forward and pursue what they love :(( i really love mangas with slow romance like this esp when its so healthy and wholesome >< you can really feel their connection and how both their feelings grew <3 i just love everything abt them ㅠㅠ it was supposed to be just a light plot but bc of akitoki's past and all the growth, the plot had some depth which made it better to read even though we never got to see them officially be together lol i swear this really needs a volume 2 ㅠㅠ but tbh i'm pretty satisfied with the ending bc we still got to see them acknowledge each other's feelings and akitoki also got back to writing songs for fun which is cool ^^ i'm happy that they both helped each other to pursue and continue to do what they love <33 overall this was such a wholesome read ^^ i'm really manifesting a second volume bc their love story deserves one (╥﹏╥) they're so freaking adorable and they're just perfect for each other >< the art style is so pretty too !! literally my cup of tea this was a great read !!
