500-nen No Itonami

Complete | yamanaka hiko | 2011 released

P: Yamada Torao commits suicide after the loss of his lover and wakes up from suspended animation 250 years in the future. The android tasked with assisting him that treats him kindly and with tender care is the disappointing robot of his former lover at a "30% reduction"...? An intense future love story about a stubborn young man who learns to accept love and pursues his aspirations. O: So touching and beautiful, a masterpiece. The plot is really interesting. 10/10 Rereading... bro it made me cry again... whilst it is a rather simple read tbh - not much worldbuilding/explaining happens, it is still touching. Ofc it has quite a bit of plotholes, but it was an enjoyable read nonetheless!

Totally Captivated

Complete | YOO Ha jin | 2008 released

P: The mafia threatens Ewon into working for a loan shark, where he's forced to run dangerous errands for no pay. The culprit who doomed Ewon to this life is none other than Jiho, Ewon's jealous ex who still burns at Ewon's infidelity. Their gang leader Mookyul, with movie-star good looks and the bizarre, drunken habit of biting people on the neck, takes a keen interest in his attractive new errand boy. 
O: Beautiful art, lots of feels, sexy seme, funny, interesting plot! MASTERPIECE. Lol I'm reading this for the 3rd time now. The webtoon is awesome, I love the colour and spacing.

Ao no Flag

Complete | Kaito | 2000 released

P: The "youth pure love" story begins when three students in their third and final year of high school meet during a time when they are worried about paths for their futures. Waiting for them are sweet, painful, and heartrending days. O: Ahh I only read up to chapter 5 and WOW a lot of stuff is going on. I feel like it's implied that Touma (bff) secretly likes Taichi, and Masumi likes Futaba because she said they're alike and that the only matching ideal characteristic is black hair. So unexpected... Ah fuck. This hurts. It really does. I can't help but wish Taichi x Futaba and Touma x Taichi, even though it'll obviously end up with the former ship. I honestly prefer the latter. It hurts so much to see Touma subtly show his feelings. I kinda get why Taichi doesn't see Touma at all as a love interest as he has always considered Touma as a friend. I love how each character is developed. I didn't particularly like Yagihara at the start, but after reading C.32, I understand her perspective more. This is a nice, thought-provoking piece of work. She addresses bias against women. Holy shit C.41 has so many feels.... That confession and apology... ;-; Touma.... That talk between Touma and Seiya ;-; Every chapter makes me want to cry. I'm so glad that Touma and Taichi end up together in the end! However it would've been nice to see the story of Taichi breaking up with Futaba and then dating Touma.. It seemed a bit rushed, but that was a daring ending considering this is shounen. It was interesting how C54 was from Touma's perspective, but damn I really wanted to see Touma :( It was a nice touch to see Touma use the surname "Ichinose" meaning they're married :')

See you later, Mermaid

Complete | HAYANE Dento | 2019 released

P: being-you: On his trip kimijima Kazushi approached a guy, Higaki just out of loneliness for some conversation... After spending some time he learned Higaki possessed the power of the sea which could bewitch & control people ...Higaki got scared by his drunken mistake tried to brush it off and run away but to his surprise got surprisingly accepted by kazushi ...who claimed to not bothered by his supernatural power.. O: This is amazing. I love the build-up and pacing of the story and how we see both their perspectives of the past. This really strikes you in heart. It's hard not to cry. So refreshing! Rereading... totally agree with my previous comment!

Truth or Dare

Complete | Youmy | 2000 released

P: A world without lies. A world where criminals are caught, where words are always true & people always say what they mean - that is, in this world people can't lie! Of course, Saegye isn't like everyone else - a rare "Divergent" he is indeed. He can lie. He can deceive & manipulate in order to get ahead. As long as no one else knows, he can do whatever he wants & get away clean. As long as no one else knows... But what will happen when Lee Jinsol, the class president, finds out his darkest & rarest secret & confronts him? Is he the same kind? Or is there something more? O: This is intriguing. Makes you really think. Jinsol seems so suspicious... SHITTT OMFG he only lies what?! And then Saegye and Jinsol swap?! This really breaks my heart :( I wish Jinsol just straight up asked Saegye for help instead of making him fall in love and then deceive him. It hurts how Saegye still likes Jinsol, despite all he's done. ;-; I love their reconciliation in C58! Ahh that ending was so beautiful ;-; This is a masterpiece. Rereading... This is an interesting thought-provoking read. I do wonder how the world has the concept of truths and lies, when everyone says the truth - that seemed a bit weird C7 - Jinsol has T on tongue?? C9 - ohh shit his eyes C10 - ohh the kiss btwn Jinsol and Han... OHH I just realised Jinsol probably did it so that he could show Saegye he's a truth... C14 - the sticky on the note said "find me". Bruh this is confusing me so much lol. How does Jinsol live like this C15 - omg is this Caesar dude hunting down other dares to capture them? "People who don’t heed warnings pay their price. Let’s see how long our youngest will last." C24 - oml poor Jinsol :/ C26 - ahh Jinsol already catched feelings C28 - x.x C30 - ahh this part C53 - Han is dare now ooh

Yuuutsu Na Asa

Complete | hidaka shoko | 2009 released

P: Upon his father's death, Akihito Kuze became a viscount at the age of 10. His smart, handsome young butler Tomoyuki Katsuragi has since managed all affairs pertaining to the viscountcy perfectly. The talented and charismatic Katsuragi is very popular in their social circle; but as Akihito grows older, he becomes colder and more distant by the day - though still as faithful to the Kuze household as he has ever been. O: Interesting plot with drama, complicated. It is a bit confusing and slow, it makes me cry a lot... too bad they contradict each other and are both stubborn. They are both very attractive - especially Katsuragi - he never fails at looking fine af. Giving this manga another shot. I don’t even remember why I put this on hold in the first place. Oml C4 is so emotional TT this is heart wrenching. I swear this is so angsty. Every time I read the next chapter the knife in my heart twists even more. C14 tho TT Oml. C15 bruhhh I thought things were going so well…. but that ending though… AHHHH. I somehow feel like this is a tragedy… I am so tempted to buy the hardcopies and blcds for this. It’s sad how there hasn’t been updates since forever, but I don’t regret reading this masterpiece. It’s seriously underrated (not very popular). The only thing that bothered me was how there was some rape.. This is quite plot heavy and the “action” scenes are perfect - very intimate, not obscene and excessively common. It would make me day if there was one day in the morning that Akihito actually woke up before Tomoyuki to see his sleeping face, since it’s always the other way around. AHHH MY WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED TT <3 Link to general summaries of the licensed not uploaded chapters - https://lenievi.tumblr.com/post/146596646437/yna-summaries-index . Nvm they’re on mangago ^^ These summaries are nothing compared to the actual chapters lol.

I always thought Yoowon merely liked Heebum as a friend, not loved him, but I was wrong... holy shit. It seems like Yoowon loved Heebum more than the other way around.. omg. I never really cared about Yoowon tbh, but holy shit I feel bad.. it broke my heart seeing him being physically rejected and crying C96 - shit... that's so heartbreaking.. C99 - TT Poor Yoowon.. now everything is slowly making sense... why Yoowon behaved like he did, so fleeting..
