Sugar ❀'s manga / #07-2023(2)

P: Akamine and Utsumi are two men linked by a dark past only Utsumi remembers: Akamine raping him six years earlier. But when Utsumi comes to exact his revenge, old wounds are reopened and the two become locked in a cycle of violence, betrayal, longing, and despair. O: Drawn in b/c of the art... Ik this is pretty messed up, but I can't but help find it is interesting and want to read more... they really don't like each other at the start. They're both twisted C4 - seeing Akamine break down and Utsumi smile in that sinister way... C5 - wait who is Saeki lmao I'm confused. Ig Saeki is that guy Akamine liked? It seems like Akamine was the one who leaked the documents because of him?? C6 - oh shit Akamine got played by Saeki... and rn he's getting played by Utsumi :( C7 - shit... I knew this was gonna happen some time but man.. C8 - :( this betrayal is so depressing C9 - pain. C12 - AINTNOWAY C13 - so glad this ended well! Tbh this was sometimes pretty confusing since it's hard to understand what's going on in the minds of Utsumi and Akamine. I still find it hard to imagine what Akamine did to Utsumi, it seems super out of character?? But other than that I really liked this! The art got really nice later on. Basically Utsumi wants to fk Akamine over due to him liking Akamine, but then soon afterwards Akamine ruined his life by raping him. But at the same time Utsumi still likes Akamine and wants to make him his. I think this is way he gets tired of Akamine always talking about Saeki so lovingly since Akamine ruined his life, but Akamine was unaffected and chased after Saeki. He wants Akamine's attention, and uses Akamine's words against him

P: Upon falling in love at first sight with his younger brother's good friend, Li Yu, Jian Suiying begins to exercise every means to hook this cold beauty with an endless stream of tricks. He originally thought he had tugged at Li Yu's heartstrings, but realized that Li Yu had acted as bait to let Jian Suiying have a taste of betrayal and hurt... O: Although the plot sounds really dodgy, I can't help but be drawn in due to the beautiful art. Suiying is so hot >< C5 - lmao Suiying is so sneaky. Also, why does Li Yu look so cute?? His eyes are so pretty C9 - ehhh sth is definitely up with Li Yu... it is so unlike him to suck up to Suiying for once C12 - AGKFHSGKSHD why is Suiying so hot man!! C13 - LMAO he's so sneaky Novel - https://chrysanthemumgarden.com/novel-tl/sb/ C12 - bruh can't believe Li Yu is betraying Suiying :( I hate how he's playing with Suiying. Also he seems very quick to get angry/jealous now... despite scheming behind Suiying's back like wtf!! C13 - omfg it's so digusting seeing Suilin do this shit C14 - :( I feel so sad for Suiying ahhh. BRUH ASJDLKAJSLDK he really submits so easily TT C15 - god this shit hurts C17 - wtf is Li Yu doing holy shit. My heart breaks for Suiying bro... shit somehow keeps getting worse C18 - :( that ring scene ahhhh. This whole chapter was so sad C20 - :( Xiao Zhu... bruh seeing Suiying finally cry is heartbreaking C27 - "There is apparently such a person, that when you hug him, is equivalent to embracing the whole world." AWWW. This was one hell of a ride. Basically Suiying persistently pursues Li Yu, who is cold to him at first. They had a rocky start and Li Yu raped Suiying a few times, but they slowly warm up and having a fwb kind of relationship. Eventually Li Yu warms up to Suiying, however Suiying finds out that Li Yu and Suilin were scheming against him and a whole lot of other shit goes down (e.g. Li Yu got raped by Suilin). At this point Li Yu really comes to love Suiying and becomes very possessive and jealous, however on the other hand Suiying is completely heartbroken and doesn't want anything to do with Li Yu nor Suilin. Now it's Li Yu's time to pursue Suiying. He ends up going so far as to doing some smuggling business/tax evasion stuff because he's desperate to earn enough money to support Suiying in order to repent for his wrongdoings. Then Suiying comes to the rescue and they come to happily love each other again. Basically this is pretty messed up and toxic lmao, where both main characters are scum in different ways. I did find myself rooting more for Suiying tho b/c even though he was kinda annoying/pushy at times. The art really carries this manhua.
