Walk on Water
I loved the first half. The other half is just full of unsatisfying ends to a lot of sensitive matters that should have been handled better, if not respectfully. I'm so disappointed that the ML, who made porn from real life rape survivor and monetized his sexual relationship with his boyfriend, barely made amends for his actions. Sure he's scorned by the society, but that's more because people are prejudiced against his profession. Nothing came out of the shitty things he did, he only said half baked apologies, and suddenly everything is alright. F that. Despite my immense dislike for the ending though, this manhwa is ultimately well written and directed. It's precisely why i was so down to find that kind of resolution in the end of an otherwise good story.

Fuck, man. The writing is so good in this one idek what to feel while reading this. It's depressing, uplifting, relatable, absurd, etc etc. Love it so much. Edit: the end was really abrupt :( i wish the author added just one more chapter..........it was really good but i think i'm gonna act like it was unfinished instead of acknowledging that ending.
Tenshi no Uta (NISHIDA Higashi)
I think every trigger warning existing on this earth could be applied to this manga lmao-- it's that dark and depressing. And yet, there's still charm, humor, warmth , and hope even when it's so bleak sometimes, just like how the lives of these characters were. I can't explain with words how much i love this manga, despite (or is it because of??) all the shortcomings of the characters and the writing / plot.
