Sugar ❀'s manga / #06-2021(39)

P: “Who am I?" Death is just a new beginning. When Xie Lanshan returned to the police force after his undercover mission, another memory in his body gradually woke up and swam along the tip of a knife. What kind of sparks will happen when the front-line criminal police meets the cold and mysterious analog portrait expert? Meeting each other is no accident, and they take you step by step into the dark. O: The art is so nice. Tbh I am kinda lost with the plot. I love the chemistry btwn Xie Lanshan and Chin Liufei. The light flirting btwn them is so kyaa, but also it feels kinda weird lol. I can't tell if they actually like each other tbh, it just seems like they're messing around w/ each other to gain advantages. This seems like a bromance - no homo. Like it's a crime investigation w/ random hints of BL :P They're both hot af!! the old cook dude (Uncle Tan) was kinda sus.... esp C16. He seems to be constantly on the edge and sweating. C19 - bruh wtf why did he reveal himself like that lol??? C20 - wtf another creep- everything feels so scripted loll. Like the way we learn about new things seems oh-so convenient to me. Still a nice read ig.

P: The star of a male idol group who has a cold demeanor, yet has no control on his fading fame and popularity. And an idol with a harmless and childlike cutesy personality on cameras, and a completely opposite persona off-stage... They're sworn enemies that always bite at each other who somehow ends up having to act lovey-dovey with each other as fan service?! Yup, smells nice! O: Looks kinda interesting, need to see more before making an opinion. Mu is hot, but goddamn is he an asshole.

P: This is the story between a young innocent ballet boy and a passionate, determined boxing boy. The two met at the children's palace, and since then, they have grown up together supporting each other. May there be hardships, may there be obstacles, yet they never stopped pursuing their dreams. The beauty of the salad days is the sweat from the hard work and the bonding of friendship. Although they have completely different paths set up for them, what never changes is their beautiful friendship... O: This is such a sweet light manhua TT Jiang Shen's parents are honestly so nice. The art is so clean and soft to the eyes. I wonder if they realise they like each other romantically. I also wonder why this manhua is called Salad days.. C98 - "I have no time to cut your rainbow fart either, so sad." x.x bro what does this even mean... C116 - wtf?? the art style seems to have changed?? maybe wrong chapter? C138 - art is weird again?? 5-->4 I like this manga, but have slowly lost interest :( C139 - wtf was this chapter??? C141 - did they really just censor someone pulling a middle finger LOL f/142 maybe I'll pick this back up when it's finished.

P: Nathan is horrible with girls. When he falls in love for one , he seeks out four masters of love to help him. The first master opens his novels. The second master boots his computer. The third grips his pencil. The fourth flexes his his muscles : chest, abdomen and biceps… Will Nathan learn their lessons and win her heart ? Or will he lose it all trying ? O: Idk man, the way the MC is 18 yet looks like a kid bothers me. This is really funny but weird at the same time. Imma drop this for now... the art and "plot" aren't my thing. f/10

P: The super rebellious teenager Xiang yang was born with an instinctive anti-social nature. His difficult attitude caused adults headaches and classmates fear, but also strongly attracted the class president's sharp eyes. It is unknown when it started, but Ming Zhi's feelings towards Xiang yang became more complicated: distressed, angry, pitying, and ... love? With the never-wavering tenderness and some necessary strictness, he tamed the boy. A collide of strong hormones, they succour themselves though laughters and cries. O: Beiguang is such a scum. I hate him so damn much. How did he turn into this?? >:( I can't believe his mum is oblivious to her son's nature. WTF HE IS THE CATALYST TO XIANG YANG'S MUM'S DEATH. His mum wasn't great, but Beiguang completely stepped out of line - fking trash. Xiang Yang and Ming Zhi are too precious TT MUST PROTECT THEM 5-->4 Tbh I kinda lost interest later on, but it was a good read nonetheless.

P: Hot baseball player and the team’s mascot. O: C16 - LOL WHAT THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY TF?! I thought they both "didn't like" each other lolol. Honestly C16 was a curveball... I didn't expect those sides of them both... The size diff low-key bothers me. Wonwoo looks so smol, like a kid C19 - wait what.. o-o on a side note, that'd be so cool if Wonwoo got to play baseball again.. Geonyoung seems like a really serious guy, but he is also really casual with his relationships..? LOLL WONWOO IS SUCH A TSUNDERE xD C29 - Damn Dong Se-eun looks so cute, I hope he isn't someone w/ a nasty personality, nvm he seems like a genuinely nice person (TvT)b OMG I CAN'T HE'S TOO ADORABLE!! It still amazes me how Geonyoung doesn't remember sht about his past baseball teammates lol. Jinwon is such a great friend. I'm not really sure I like Geonyoung tbh, he is always a moody grump. Like literally the only good thing going for him is his "coolness". His personality is crap and he's so aloof. Sht I feel depressed for Dong Se-eun :( he's such a cinnamon bun. Idk if I wanna continue this since I don't particularly like one of the ML .. f/41 put on hold for now.

P: Yuki has avoided socializing due to trauma in junior high school. It was my classmate Kawai who talked brightly to Yuki. He is different and is the center of the class. Yuki is gradually attracted to Kawai's positive brightness, which he does not have. "If you know this feeling, you will not be able to be a friend." The feeling of having a lid overflows with a playful kiss from Kawai. Yuki who is upset comes to avoid Kawai ... Innocent dog boy x quiet shy boy's Jirikyun love story O: Broooo this is wholesome af (▰˘◡˘▰) A very feels good manga. They're both super precious 5-->4

P: On his way back from work on Christmas night, Yamada(26) discovers a drunk and crying high school boy and takes him home. That boy was mulling over being in love with someone of the same sex.A straight adult and a gay high-schooler. O: LOL this is a very light read. C2 - I thought Yamada was getting a bit ahead of himself but... that ending tho xD Bruh Chihiro developed feelings real fast. Brooo can Yamada please shave his beard x.x it looks so scuffed. The age gap is a bit (￣∇￣") tbh. Honestly this is one of those manga I wish were shounen ai instead of yaoi lol. Overall a nice read, but sometimes off-putting.

P: Story about shy gay boy (Nakamura) who fell in love at first sight with his classmate (Hirose) when he entered High School. O: This is so cute and funny... god I really wish there was more. That ending was not what I expected lol, it was a sweet but short read. C9 OMG WTF HIROSE OoO

P: From Hoshikuzuu Scans:"That's the first time I've seen crying so beautiful." Tajima finds himself taken in by Koga's crying face, but little did he know, the reason behind those tears was the death of his goldfish at the hand of Tajima's cat (Buuta). While figuring out how to apologize for that, he stumbles across a secret of Koga's. O: Not bad, very slow-paced though. Wasn't really my vibe tbh, nothing really happened. It was a sweet read ig, the art was nice.
