The two constantly quarrel, but one day they cross the line while squabbling and end up sleeping together. Yajima regrets it, but at the same time he cannot get Torikai's pleading expression out of his head.

Nice crisp art, I love their facial expressions.

It's Not Like That (Gangto)

Complete | Gangto / Lime | 2000 released

P: Under pressure from his parents, the popular BL writer applied to the liquor company "Beers." He didn't even have a speck, but he accidentally submitted an unreleased copy of his novel instead of a resume letter, which drew attention and made him pass the final exam! In particular, Baek Ho-ryeong, the president of the company, made a big mistake about the novel, and the illusion goes beyond favor and becomes love. Iro's first social life, which was firmly rooted in the spirit before he could adapt to the bitter taste of society he had never tasted. O: I liked this more than I expected! Very nice pacing and satisfying art (▰˘◡˘▰) Horyeong is so hot. I love the dynamics between Horyeong, Iro and the team-leader dude LOL xD C34 - uh.... did they really just use the cake as lube...? 5 --> 4, damn I kinda lost interest... f/ 36 Rereading.. lol this is amusing. C34 - ok I still think they shouldn't have done it since Iro is sick. Also first time spit, second time cake..??? Overall this was a cute, hot and funny read. Tbh I don't completely feel the chemistry btwn them, but it was a nice read nonetheless. It had good pacing.

The new employee

Complete | Moscareto, Zec | 2019 released

P: Seunghyun, 29 years old, doesn't have a job yet. He decides to intern at a company where his friend Jiyeon works at as well. He and his boss Jongchan end up falling in love with each other. It turns out that Yoosung, Seunghyun's unrequited love and Jongchan's ex-bf only friends now is also there.. O: The translation ~C10 made the story harder to understand. No offence but their love for each other seems kinda sudden - I feel like it just escalated after Yoosung suggested Jongchan to date Seunghyun... Seunghyun is too nice of a person. I can't quite bring myself to like Jongchan - he's hot but eehhh idk. It's amusing how Seunghyun and Jongchan pretended to enjoy pasta just because of Yoosung xD f/25 Rereading... the art feels a bit off to me C5 - LMAO good on Jongchan for telling them off, Seunghyun is like a doormat... C9 - yeah... Seunghyun seems easy to take advantage of. He's basically a blushing pushover. C11 - lmaooo not them both pretending to love pasta xD C12 - bruh how does Jongchan look despite only having 2 hours of sleep ICANT C12 - more office politics drama zzz C16 - man... :( C18 - Ok ngl, Jongchan is being quite an ahole this chapter bruh. "Why isn't he standing up for himself?" Sir, he is and always has been a pushover... C20 - lmao the secret's out that they both don't like pasta xD C24 - bruh that acting x.x C25 - more office politics zzz C27 - that was spicy, but did they really have to do that there.. C35 - ahh... tbh that wasn't that unexpected.. but this is so rigged C36 - ok ngl I don't understand shit - office politics C37 - seems like Seunghyun failed b/c of bias against Jongchan C38 - office politics~ At the start, peps from the research department kept pestering Seungchan to do their shit since Seunchan is just an intern. Then Jongchan basically told them to fk themselves and stop that shit. I think basically peps esp. Choi weren't happy that Jongchan was in advertising planning. Jongchan is very valuable to company and loves advertising, but he can't be made head of that department since Choi is doing good. So Jongchan is in an awkward made-up position called unofficial department head - where he is still a threat bc he could still form a little group and he has some influence. The top peps made some rule that if he leaves the company, he can't enter the same industry for 3 years - which is a big deal. Peps don't like Jongchan and probs jealous of Seungchan that he contributed to J-card's project or whatever, so they screwed Seungchan over in the open recruitment. Then Jongchan finally decided to get a promotion in order to somehow get Seungchan employed, however this means having to move to another department - sales. Ok jk seems like a mistranslation Jongchan ended up being promoted to being a supervisor of new planning team 4. In his negotiations, the director Kim agreed that Jongchan could choose whoever he wants at the next open recruitment - so Seungchan goes on vacation until then. C41 - LMAOOO I forgot that Jiyeon didn't know Seungchan was dating Jongchan. On a totally different note, I like Jiyeon's character design - she is a cool person! C43 - LOLLL WE ALL SAW THIS COMING. If we're being totally honest, I found this manhwa boring - I didn't really feel the chemistry nor really like any of the main characters in particular, but it was hot lol. Wasn't the biggest fan of the office politics shit - it was quite confusing and mostly petty stuff. What really stands out to me is that it felt super random how we never got to see Yoosung again after that one time he had lunch with Seunghyun and Jongchan... we didn't get to see much about Yoosung and Jongchan's past relationship. Everything resolved itself magically in terms of office stuff. Overall this was a nice read ig, but the plot and characters were ehh

P: Yiyoung is building a startup with his college friends. They get a chance to present their proposal to SJ Corporation, one of the leading companies in the country. But in the meeting room he sees Kang Daehyung, the extremely handsome company big shot that's so very much his type, and Yiyoung's heart starts to race...! Can pretty-faced Yiyoung win both in love and his career? O: This looks intriguing... Lol Yiyoung fantasises about director Kang a lot. Lol this manhwa has a nice sense of humour. OMG Kang is hot... Ouch it hurt when Yiyoung thought Kang didn't actually like him and ran away. :( f/78 Idk man, I kinda lost interest 5-->4 Rereading... the art is eh... C7 - omfg Yiyoung really just called Kang "bro" x.x ngl Yiyoung seems easy C9 - ok ngl I'm not the biggest fan of Kang rn, he really seems like a snob. Also Yiyoung does seem like a tool.. C12 - x.x C30 - huh??? C31 - what kind of agreement is this lmao C43 - I thought Kang said last time was gonna be the last time lol. C47 - ahh Kang is fishing him.. BUT HE WAS THE ONE THAT SAID THAT SHIT BRUH. Kang is self-aware that he's awful... Jiyoung is really naive C54 - wtf that is ridiculous C55 - lol I love secretary Cha xD her teasing and reactions are funny C57 - Jiyoung :( C59 - LMAO CHA C60 - can't believe Kang needed to hear from 5 people to realise his mistake bruh. So glad Jiyoung's friends are there for them C67 - I think this is the Genshin art that got me into Genshin lol C73 - LOL Cha best wingman xD C82 - aww Jiyoung putting eyebrows on the toy is so cute!! C89 - uhh... that was pretty dubious stuff ngl C90 - wtfff Kang is stepping down?? C91 - bruhhhh how is this the ending!!! Season 3 was only 12 episodes FML. Overall this was a good read! Wasn't a biggest fan of the art, "action" and characters at first, but I liked the comedy and development. This is one of those books that feel much better to binge read than to read weekly.

Unfortunately, after few hours of moving in he gets attacked by a stranger in his room... After narrowly escaping, Ji Ho later comes back home to see the guy shedding tears over the novel he wrote in high school...And later found out that the guy is his new roommate & master O: Don't get me wrong, this is really cute, but it is too sweet and light for me tbh. I don't find myself that attached this series atm, so I've put it on hold for now. f/25 Rereading... I'm so glad I picked this up again, this is so damn cute and funny!! The pacing, art, story and character development are all on point. Ngl I didn't particularly like Sungyun (he felt a bit off), but aside from him I really enjoyed the other characters! I really liked Hyunee and Ho's friendship, Ho's caring family, Dojin and Ho's relationship etc. I really enjoyed seeing the relationships between different characters and character development. JC14 - this is sugar overdose lol C24 - omg confession?! C25 - "I don't like you" LOLL STOP THE CAP MAN C31 - ngl her lips look kinda off - they look puffy. Lol wtf is going on xD C32 - omg Hyunee looks so different with pink hair C33 - omg I can't this manga is too cute and funny C34 - :( poor Dojin man C35 - yesss let's go!! C36 - oml this is seriously too cute... C42 - omfg Joong (Ho's 2nd older sister) has a freaking taser bruh C45 - LMAO she actually used it xD I'm glad everything got resolved quickly C48 - ahh.. seems like Hyunee really doesn't like it when people are wishy washy C49 - omfg is Sunghyun really this naive?? Hyunee literally said it two times to his face, yet he didn't seem to get the message. Sunghyun really feels like a big baby.. C51 - LMAO THEY REALLY JUST KIDNAPPED HYUNEE AND TIED HIM UP ICANT C52 - LOL Hyunee is in full panic mode C54 - oml Hyunee still remembers that "tutoring" thing lol C64 - oh no C66 - oh no Yoowan... Maybe he didn't mean to take credit for Ho's letter, and just wanted to expose others to Ho's writing - he looked confused when he went up stage, but either way that was not cool :/ Also can't believe he's making a return bruhhh C70 - omfg I didn't think the flowers came from there C71 - ohhhhh shit.... so Hyunee submitted it on behalf of Yoowan and was oblivious... C74 - not Dojin crying :( C76 - awww so glad they resolved stuff nicely! C78 - LOL so glad Ho gave Yoowan a piece of his mind! C79 - LMAOO Hyunee's face C80 - it was interesting to see a bit of Yoowan's past ig C85 - aww San.... oml Ho and Dojin are so damn cute C93 - Lol I'm loving the Yoowan's redemption! I love how the characters are not like cardboard, and actually develop and change for the better over time.
