Sugar ❀'s manga / #realistic(12)

P: I Thot You Was a Toad [12961]: Nishina, newly divorced, accidentally bumps into the high school lover he cruelly threw away, Miyama, at the café Miyama now runs, and all his longing is rekindled. The question is whether Miyama can ever forgive him. O: Honestly this has been lurking somewhere deep in my mind. I barely remember this story, but after reading this synopsis I remember vaguely. Tbh I don’t know how to feel about this.. I forgot since it wasn’t that significant to me, realistic maybe?

P: I Thot You Was a Toad [12961]: Ogata, the stoic bouncer at a flashy danceclub, develops a fascination for Saya, a patron of his club, who always seems to pick up girls without doing anything to them. So far so easy and real, usual Ogeretsu Tanaka. But wait for Chapter Three where plot complications come with a vengeance. O: Beautiful art, interesting plot/seme and realistic I want more ;-; Rereading. C3 - Poor Saya :( I can't blame Ogata but man... glad it was resolved later on tho. This was a simple but nice read! Really wish there was more though... it felt so short

P: Kyouichi's indecisive character has led him to repeatedly commit the foolish mistake of adultury. One day, Imagase, a college classmate he hasn't seen since graduation, shows up as the private detective hired by his wife to investigate his infidelity. Imagase, however, proposes a deal. He won't tell Kyouichi's wife about his affairs, but, for compensation, he makes an unbelievable demand: "I want your body in exchange..." O: Amazing. So much drama, is realistic, mature and is about a person who is indecisive, which can be irritating. Damn, the seme is so.. manipulative and possessive… I found Imagase cool lol :P Old art, but shouldn’t have let this stop me, the cover + art looks hmm but it’s GOOD! And hot

P: KyoZaNa✿: Desperately to buy a birthday gift for lover, a collegian Kippei goes to work onsite at a traditional inn in the countryside during the summer break. One day, the boss Honjou-san takes him to sneak out, spend the night elsewhere just to unexpectedly find out his BF(former teacher) cheats on him! O: This is good! I wish there was more though ;-; Rereading, this is a short but sweet read! Idk about 5/5, but it was still nice. It was a pretty relaxing and drama-free read. The art is nice 5-->4

P: Jinwoo has that friend, Kisub. That friend who wants to sleep on your couch for a night, a week, and before you know, he is your roommate. Needless to say, life is hard for Jinwoo. Needless to say, his life would be easier if he weren't in love with that couch potato.Original WebcomicOfficial Translation O: ?

Tatebayashi Kazushige has always wanted to go to college, but instead he became an actor. Now, he is an up and coming ikemen who only gets the likable roles. These two opposites may look like they have nothing in common on the outside, however, what secrets lay on the inside? Follow these two as their mysterious show business secret love unfolds. O: Ahhh everyone is so hot! It's nice to see Shin and Shige's relationship develop. Shin is so cute! Ah... I can't blame Tatara for falling in love with him. I feel bad for him... he is even willing to dedicate himself to protecting Shin. I think he knows he won't be able to get him, but still wants to protect him, a small chick. So excited to see Tatara x Hanazaki, the idol.

P: KyoZaNa✿: A rising star soccer player Hyun gladly re-encounters with his first love Gyul who asked his school-chairman dad to recommended Hyun to the famous-soccered school. But a friendly cheerful Gyul has become introverted & meek, worked hard to support himself & bro since his 3rd year middle school as their parents suddenly went bankrupt, mom ran away then dad's gone.. O: This is interesting... I like Hyun's looks. It has an interesting plot. I like the relationship development between Hyunho and Gyul. It's awesome how Seunggyu is such a supportive friend, and Jaemin is also nice. I like how the manager girl wasn't a total bitch, she still doesn't quite like Gyul, but is somewhat acceptive of them. I wish there was more of that long-haired girl, who instantly knew they were a couple, from the trip... she would've been a nice character addition. It's a tough choice whether Hyunho should play soccer abroad... Gyul wants him to go, but Hyunho has other ideas... I feel like Hyunho will concede, and there will be a few years time skip. Fuck Gyul's aunt. She is so manipulative and tries to guilt-trap Gyul. I like how miscommunication is not a big thing in this manhwa. They're both so sweet!! Nice healthy relationship! :)

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 :')

P: Dayeol hears two guys fooling around in the nurse’s office and accidentally knocks over the curtain rod. When the nurse walks in on the scene, devilishly handsome Taehyun tells her that Dayeol tried to make out with him. Before Dayeol can correct the misunderstanding, the rumor spreads and his archery scholarship is in jeopardy. To make matters worse, Taehyun doesn’t show the slightest bit of remorse; in fact, he shamelessly begins hanging around Dayeol. It’s not long before the two begin walking the thin line between hate and love. O: This manhwa has so much details conveyed thru visuals, it's really good. Interesting panels. I can understand Dayeol's anger at Taehyun at the start. Realistic, complex characters. Good pacing. Taehyun was just scared to like Dayeol as he was unfamiliar with emotions, after casting them away long ago. Lol the way they act just a bit more than friends is funny and fitting for them. ;-; I wish this was a yaoi... I love this manhwa so much!

P: Conor, a Korean-American, lives in a city where same-sex marriage has been legalized, but where racist and homophobic hate crimes are still frequent. He joins a band with the blonde hair, blue-eyed Simon and the two go on to create their own “Dark Heaven” in an abandoned church. Feelings develop between the pair, but light cannot dwell with dark, and their time together will soon come to an end.. O: I can't really get into this, I'm so lost what chapter I'm up to. The chronological order of events is abnormal - it flicks back from past to present without the flashback dark backgrounds. Rereading. F*ck Pete - lil shit bag. This is movie-like - omg a movie adaption would be amazing. Wow this is pretty dark. I like Conor w/ short hair tbh. C15 - ... wow Simon and Kiev had a one night stand..? o.O it doesn't exactly seem like Kiev enjoyed it tbh. Simon is off the rails ;-; C18 - wow f*ck Kiev .-. C20 - I feel like Kiev just uses Simon to try feel superior to Conor.. C23 - god that glasses dude (prosecutor Hasco) is so annoying C25 - ok ik I don't like Pete, but that murderer (Simon's young bro) is also disgusting x.x C31 - yikes child abuse... this sh*t is dark. I think I only read until up to here on my first try. C25-45 is the recount of their past :/ C54 p34 - LOL that prosecutor whipping himself was so random. I can't- xd He is seriously wack in the head e.g. C56 .-. He peeled off I think a scab and ate it... C62 - Gale (Simon's bro) is disgusting af. Hmm Hasco goes back to being good..? C73 - Wow Veronica is wack too C74 - BRO WHAT?! SHE TOOK PART IN DAMAGING CONOR'S HANDS?! TF. She's such a snake C76 - lol I'm sorry - she's calling Simon a snake..? The irony.. it doesn't help that she looks even uglier. C79 - oh my god Simon's family is TERRIBLE C80 - Conor's mum was sweet but her actions towards Conor due to her faith were saddening. I'm glad she has changed for the better though. I am angry at how Gale got away with all the shit he did :/ Detective Krakow is a good man
