Reminiscence Adonis

Ongoing | Duō Yù,n Wé,nhu,Duo Yun Wenhu | 2000 released

P: lanna and Arhad had much in common. They both only cared about themselves, and were madly obsessed with each other. The difference is one wanted the other's warmth, and the other wanted submission. Though lanna's life ended in a heated battle against Arhad, the Kingdom's emperor, she is reincarnated into same life for reasons unknown. Two people who faced misery in their previous life now have a chance to meet again. Will the same tragedy repeat itself, or can lanna change the course of history? O: This is epic. The art is gorgeous, especially the first half of the manhua. Very interesting how Ianna and Arhad both retain memories from their past life. I wonder what the deal is with Aeji... LMAO Arhad is totally whipped. I love how confident Ianna is. She doesn't feel obliged to help the travellers, and directly confronts Arhad about his other identity. She is such a QUEEN! :D f/191 the translations are making it hard to understand what's going on. Unfortunately I got bored of this 5-->3

Back to School

Complete | Oryu | 2019 released

P: Chiwoo’s got issues. Upon returning to school after the “incident” last year, he vows to keep to himself and stay out of trouble until graduation. Easier said than done: his bad boy reputation has made him the talk of the school, and Kyujin - class president and model student - won’t stop being friendly. Trouble arrives soon enough in the shape of Jihyun, a tattooed hunk from Chiwoo’s dark past. It’s gonna be a tough year… - O: Seems promising! The art makes the students look older than high school students lol. Yikes Jihyun is so creepy and scary. So far I'm with Kyujin x Chiwoo. I felt so bad for Chiwoo in C41-42. Despite me not liking Jihyun, it kinda broke my heart. Chiwoo was too kind for his own good, I'm glad that he finally broke off relations with Jihyun, even if it tough.

Where the Dragon's Rain Falls

Complete | Summer | 2000 released

P: According to legend, a nation in which a dragon appears is destined for prosperity. Finally a new dragon is born in the desert-covered empire Rahan, but...as a fragile young boy! Until the boy comes of age, the crown prince orders him hidden away in the depths of the palace. But one night, Suu, a lowly palace servant hoping to run away with his dear Nadan, stumbles upon an unexpected mystery… And so begins their tale of love, obsession... and desire. O: Looks nice. The art is satisfying. I'm interested in Sahara, and how he can shapeshift but be dumb at times. From reading some comments, it seems like Suu may be the bastard child of the royal bloodline of another country, which is why Sahara can turn adult after having Suu's blood.. All the characters are manipulative/sneaky. I am not totally on board with Jin or Sahara. Jin is manipulative af. I just wish happiness for Nadan and Suu, like wtf, why do they have to get all caught up in this shit! Oof I'd have to say I'm on team Sahara rn. Jin is such an ASS. C72 - ahhh.. the bittersweet romance btwn Suu and Nadan :( Suu is too much of a realist and didn't consider Nadan's feelings. I love how Suu is also scheming xD he is a force to be reckoned with. C98 - WOW I feel terrible for Sahara :/ C106 - WTF Nadan is dead?! CMON MAN C130 - omg... it seems like Saharah is manipulating people, and are thus acting fake o-o C180 - brooo how is this the end?? This manhwa was so confusing lol, maybe I'll have to reread this some time again

Man Up Girl

Complete | Jeon Hoyun | 2019 released

P: Sola exposes to Kyung-ho how his technique in bed sucks. Then they break-up their relationship of 3 years. The next day, they wake up in each others' bodies. O: I don't usually read this kind of manhwa, but this was gold lmao. So funny and interesting. Only thing that bothers me is how selfish Sola is, she didn't care about Kyung-ho's feelings whilst having sex. Nvm, apparently it gets worse later.... no longer 5 stars

Ongoing | nakamura shungiku | 2006 released

P: Onodera Ritsu transfers to another company called Marukawa. Turns out his boss is his first love Takano Masamune. Onodera is a big tsundere, indecisive and always blushes. More stories about his coworkers, who are also gay. Yukina (art student) x Kisa (fellow editor) 9 yr age gap, idk (fellow editor) x Yoshino (mangaka), Yokozawa (sales department dude) x idk. O: Dropped at v8 c4. I don't know how I could read so much. It was not very interesting tbh, and the art was meh. It's ok, but slow development. Onodera keeps denying he likes Takano despite having sex with him many times.

Depressed and heart broken these guys consoled one another first by drinking and then by a kissing competition. Another surprise is finding out that Itsuki was in fact his favorite author who he has to look after during his colleagues maternity leave. O: Lol seems interesting. Ai-chan the bird is the MVP. I don't really like how the editor (seme) continues going even though the author (uke) says he doesn't like it... seems a bit hmm
