Ophiuchus's manga / #Y Lezhin(55)

2017-18: 30 + 5ss Sungjoon's not doing great, but life is looking up. His job at the convenience store pays enough for him to afford his own place. A tiny, smelly, and laughably cheap place, but he loves it. He loves it right up until he walks home and finds it on fire. Unfortunately, things get worse as he realizes he doesn't know anyone in the city who can help. Wait, no... that's not right. Actually, he does know Lee Hyo-in. A rich kid from his university who is, coincidentally, looking for a roommate. Well, not a roommate. More of a... dog.

------------------ New comment on side story 8 (sept 2024): I skipped to this chapter out of boredom and see JooHa and DooShik being cute. I don't remember much from what I've read in the original language (time flies very quickly), but this is adorable. I love that JooHa is trying to become more assertive and more decisive with his intentions. aww I love them NEW REVIEW 2024 (SPOILER) Adult topic: I have to say, I appreciate the reference to SANA's works in this series. I can tell that the creator has an infinite love for Japanese mangaka and animators and comic/animator artists so much that she'd reference it in her series. I love the Japanese references about the scary and thrilling stuff about the underworld life of organized crime groups like the Yakuza (for some apparent reason, sushi shops are always some type of stereotypes lmao that has to do with them, but I don't mind it at all!), and the beautiful artworks and the choices in her color palettes! I'll have to put a disclaimer/advance apology if the creator has expressed a clear intention that she is in no way, referencing SANA's works (because I personally, can see the stark references and that's not a big deal to admit, imo. There's no shame in that, after all many fans are also artists and will reference their fav in their own works). The Critical evaluations: In terms of plot, I can understand her need to elaborately jump on the smut scenes, and we can all agree the art is stunning. However, the story has so many weak holes in it. She throws in and mix in so many of the buzzwords (tropes) in this series but never fully bothered expanding on them. We have to address the elephant in the room, what's the pearl about? What's all the mystery behind JooHa's origin and condition? I was hoping this would turn into something supernatural or at least give us something, like some low level paranormal stuff, like maybe he's the product of some human experiment and that he's a mutant unbeknownst to him, or give it some plot twist. In fact, his absent father is the head of the experiment project and is observing him and gathering data about his son's conditions from the pearls collected by his ex-Bf-cum-legal-stepfather. Give us something so we could run with it. Give us anything to satisfy the curiosity. It's frustrating to see the ending tbf idk what else to say. I can tell that the creator is trying to make it seem like JooHa just happens to be that way, so that's not the main point, BUT THE MAIN POINT IS, JooHa's afflicted and the only person who can save him is DooShik. Ok, and? Can't we at least get some more back story to JooHa's condition? Is that so much to ask? I'm not going to say more, I'm just glad we have some more side stories to follow lol ------------------- SPOILERS AHEAD Old Review: 2020-?

Important note: The En release is coming out this year, 2023. Yes, I read the whole thing (both fan scans and official in another language, German - although, I could understand mandarin if I choose to read it in that lingo). I'm overall, excited to be reading the official En release (thanks to the En fan scans, I discovered this - my kr isn't good so I don't usually have a hobby of forcing myself to read it in kr lol) Review: I don't like the fact that it's 'okay' to shoot, kidnap, confine, drug, sexually assault/rape the person you love as if that is acceptable. That's one thing I cannot accept because I love the art the characters so much, it's disappointing to see the mangaka's choice to have a yandere seme who harms the uke so many times. The uke is not your ordinary person, he's got a big heart - he could forgive that guy and even change the relationship dynamic so much that it overshadowed the traumatic episodes. Hmmmn I tried not to be too salty about the way the seme's character is built since the mangaka did flesh out the pivotal points here and there (I'm just being stubborn with my stance - I don't want to forgive this type of betrayal. It's just not good to be immune or desensitized to violence) (Roses and Champagne) (2021 - ?)
