Sugar ❀'s manga / #10-2018(8)

P: Park Hyung Suk, overweight and unattractive, is bullied and abused on a daily basis. But a miracle is about to happen. O: This is so interesting. The art is so beautiful as well, and gross at times. I love the character development :D Vasco is so wholesome <3 Jay x Daniel ftw Awww C260 ;-; Johan is slowly becoming friends with Jace... and is jealous of Vasco. Read on Webtoons. This dragged on way too long and is quite repetitive and bland plot 5-->3 f/341

P: Employee Kim Doyoon has been working for 5 years. He has one secret that he can't tell anyone else - the fact that he's a half-vampire born between a human and a vampire. One day, a single mistake turns his whole life upside down. O: Tbh I find this ok, but not amazing. I can't be bothered reading more.

P: 勇気 (Yuuki): Hidoku Shinaide did NOT get off to a promising or very memorable start. The first volume seemed like an experiment about the dynamic between the two characters. But the second volume on burst onto the scene with heart-rendering questions essential to the targeted age of the audience - one's future and career. Struggling to balance themselves between work and play, Hidoku Shinaide makes a total 180 from its start as a rape tale, becoming a mutual, crazy-cute story of the trials of a relationship in a "vanilla (plain)" life. The message in this story was unexpectedly quite powerful, "Success is nothing when you have no one left to share it with." I thought that was a great way to legitimize the literary notion of "the power of love," when it is placed into a universe that couldn't be more practically or realistically oriented. I gave the story five stars because of its fantastic comeback after the first volume. O: Tbh I agree, I initially dropped this because I don't really like rape, but it got better later on. However I don't think it's worth 5 stars. Dropped again, not interested.

P: Jinwon's parents gave him... a motel. It's undown and in need of massive repairs, the Ballantine Motel used to be a golden goose. But, of course, a drunk driver running his car through the entrance tends to change things. So when Jinwon takes over, he makes some upgrades and additions. He decides to shorten the name to the BL Motel. He doesn't know why so many gay couples have started coming xD O: Lol this is good. Hmmm... I don't really think so anymore. This story is just lust, not really romance tbh imo. I totally respect the blonde guy, Jaehwan, who was an unintentional wingman. He is so respectful, when he realised that Byul and Jinwon were together, he stopped his advances. 2nd story is interesting. C70 damn I thought main couple were gonna switch, but looking at the raws, they didn't :( The art improved a lot. C133 - I'm sorry but I don't like this glasses dude, he seems like such a slease. He already knows that Dongho has a boyfriend, yet the way he acts seems to be as if he's after him... the way he acts is not how friends normally act, but Dongho obviously isn't totally aware of this since he doesn't have that many friends. C145 - OMFG THIS GLASSES DUDE REALLY NEEDS TO BACK OFF, GOD HE'S SO OBNOXIOUS!!!

P: Fujishima Takara goes to high school and will start living in a dorm because he has lost all his family except for his father, who's always away for his work.

At first the two get on each other's nerves because of those differences. But things turn towards friendship and later on,towards love? O: This is amazing!!!
