Sugar ❀'s manga / #Reencounter(6)

P: Overworked schoolteacher, Miharu, collapses onto the icy roads. Along comes local tattoo artist, Arashi to save the day. However, it being Miharu's first time seeing so many tattoo's up close, he unintentionally makes some insensitive comments. To apologize, Miharu goes to his shop to apologize, where he realizes just how kind Arashi is. He feels comfortable chatting to someone of the same age, but also feels like something doesn't seem right... O: Wait how does Arashi know Miharu can play the piano, I don't remember him mentioning it?? FeelsDankMan. OHHHHHHH I GET IT NOW NVM -facepalm- This is such a seriously wholesome read, I love how chill and unforced their relationship is. Very feels good manga!

P: After parting ways nine years ago, Youngmin and his first love, Jihoon, have been reunited in the same homeroom class. There’s just one problem… that’s not really Jihoon. When the boys were young, a traumatic car accident landed Jihoon with an entirely new soul! To avoid suspicion, the fake Jihoon enlists his old friend’s help in fooling the rest of the world about his identity. This arrogant new guy is nothing like the old sweet, polite Jihoon… so why is Youngmin still getting butterflies? O: Idk if this is a 5/5, but this is pretty amusing and interesting to read. Jihoon is really wack tho C3 - the irony... isn't Sungjoon (red hair) the one who always harasses Youngmin (black hair) lmao... C4 - I don't see this working out tbh... C5 - this is interesting.. C15 - Surely real Jihoon will come back right? He might be dead already tho.. I wonder if Jihoon is just completely delusional or sth... who knows C22 - lol wtf... Jihoon is unhinged.. C38 - tbh I'm not really interested in the ship. This really makes me wonder if Jihoon just underwent a major personality change and that he was delusional all along. f/38 On hold. Kinda bored...

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: 5 years ago, high-schooler Tomoya faked his age and tried to get laid at a gay bar. While the attempt failed, he never forgot the man he had encountered, Kei. After being told he was attractive by Kei, Tomoya went on to become a famous idol in the group INCITE. After an incident with a stalker, Tomoya got assigned a personal bodyguard, who turned out to be none other than Kei?! O: Awww this is a sweet and funny read :) C1 - HAHAAH THAT ENDING IS CRACKUP C2 - HAHAAH NOT THE POSTERS OF KEI, it's hilarious seeing the various shellshocked moments C4 - what... that caught me off guard

P: If there was a closet inside a closet, Joohwan would hide there. He's that desperate to hide that he's gay. Still, he's doing a pretty good job at hiding his sexual orientation, on his way to a promotion at his job, and has everything going great...right until he crosses paths with Sihyun during a major presentation for work. Unfortunately, Sihyun is devastatingly attractive. Perhaps attractive enough to drag Joohwan out of the closet... O: The synopsis sounds kinda lame, but this is actually pretty good lol. Nice art and funny. Novel translation: https://talemist.com/story/sugar-trap/ => https://novelib.com/story/sugar-trap/. holy hell that was hot af FLUH... seriously spicy C15-20 C5 - why do I feel like Joohwan tried to make a move on Sihyun... also Joohwan's dreams are wild LMAO C9 - damn bro is more wild than the MC HAHAH I can't believe this miscommunication LOL C10 - ASKJDHFDKSJ C11 - HAHAHAH THAT LAST PANEL C13 - AHKJDSHF he did not just call him that in his head

P: Touji had been enjoying a peaceful life alongside his partner, Kyoto. Unexpectedly, he crossed paths with his old high school friend, Yachiyo, during his grandmother's funeral. It had been two long years since they last saw each other, right after Yachiyo's wedding. Their friendship had become distant due to a past incident in high school. "At that moment, I failed to comprehend the significance of it all, and by the time I did, it was already too late—a haunting memory. The emotions that I believed I had let go of resurfaced, engulfing me as we crossed paths once more..." O: This is so well-paced and really drags you in... my only complaints is that the art quality feels like it decreased as the chapters progressed and the ending of volume 1 leaves a lot to be desired... why did it have to end so ambiguously man. I feel like this is missing a little bit that would make it >8.5 I'm so indecisive when it comes to who to root for
