OnlyMes's manga / #GL(65)

It's been at least 10 years since the last time I've read something by this author, and going back and rereading Sweet Little Devil now gave me so much nostalgia! Now that I comprehend more of this story, it really is so much more than smut. These characters are so well thought out and deeply rooted to one another to the last detail. After all these years, I was hoping to get another series of Ristuko and Sayo in their adult life with the possibility of going overseas to get married, but I guess that will just be something I think of when I fall asleep now lol. I forgot how much I enjoyed reading this series, how those soft spoken pillow talk scenes really made my heart skip. Despite this being an old manga, it's a fantastic read, I'm glad I was able to stumble across it again.

I can't believe I never left a review on this, I'm glad I finally came back to reread it because this is likely one of the best side stories I've seen. Not too many stories really wrap up side characters by giving them their own story, and most of them are never as good as this one. When I realized this story was about Gyerin, I nearly cried! Out of all the characters, she was my favorite and the one most deserving of love in this series. I was so nervous thinking she might end up with Duna so the excitement I felt knowing her ending would be wrapped up in this side story sent me over the moon! Gyerin was honestly the only character in the story who had any real development and personality. Sure, she was clingy, but not nearly as insufferable as the male lead. After reading the main story and both side stories (yeesh on that yaoi side story) Gyerin and Juyeons was really the only relationship I could 100% stand behind that made the most sense to me. I'm so happy she got her good ending, I love how they wrapped up her tale because at the end of the day, she really was the only character (who got hurt) worth caring about.

Really cute but dangerous concept for a story, let alone a one-shot. That "we both have feelings for each other but neither of us will make the first move to avoid getting hurt" trope is EXTREMELY outplayed in yuris to the point where it's hard to make a good story because the readers always know that to expect, but I have to admit, I really liked how it was tackled in this story. I'm positive it's just because this is a one-shot story, but the fact that these two characters didn't end up hurting one another by dancing around their feelings and not unintentionally doing or saying something that the other person got hurt by really struck me. Makes for a slightly less interesting story, but nonetheless it wasn't a bad read. The art was very cute, would love to see more from this author in the future.

Oh man, I'm not sure how to even begin... I did read this story once years ago- many years ago- but rereading it again with a better understanding of what went on absolutely gutted me. I really want to say Namsu was the only good character, but even then, she took her anger out on the wrong person and ended up losing literally everything her character was built on at the end. I had high hopes for Joy and Namsu, I was flabbergasted by the twist, but Joy ruined her friendship and is torn up about how it ended and has to be reminded of it every day. Hye-Yeon was horrible from the start to the end, selfish, greedy, you name it, but she didn't get a good ending either. Sure, she got Joy to herself, but she has such doubt about Joy's true feelings for her, she'll spend the rest of her life wondering if Joy really loves her or if she's just being kept around out of Joy's fear of losing her closest friends. No one got a happy ending, but I hurt so much seeing Joy was able to keep at least one person by her side when she caused literally all of the suffering. For her to date them both and only let Hye-Yeon in on it was... why did she do that??? If you really wanted to not hurt them, dating them both is the last thing that should have been attempted! God, I have such a love-hate relationship with this manhwa, the characters (outside of Namsu until the last few chapters) were all bad, but the story is so heartbreakingly interesting that it made me want to come back and reread it after all these years. I want Namsu to have a better ending, she really didn't deserve what Joy put her through.

Very cute story. I liked the concept of where the story was headed, but it's still a little difficult to grasp. I understand the whole "pet" situation, but I didn't feel like this would ever happen, even in a manhwa. The build up between Soha and Gayoon could have been so much better to where it could have lead up to the pet/master relationship after they got closer, but ideally, I don't see that relationship just happening over the simple fact that Gayoon favored her dog. Personally, that would have made the story better in my honest opinion. Regardless, I loved Gayoon's and Soha's characters, they fit hand in hand with one another. One relationship I'm still sort of on the fence about is Sol's and Soo's. Felt a little forced for the sake of love. I'm a little disappointed with Yurim's character, I might be the only one with this option, but I did like her as a character. I'm so glad we got to look at most of the side characters background and see who they were before all of this, and Yurim's character just hit harder to me than anyone's. She was always in the spotlight, always praised, always placed on this pedestal where everyone put her to the point where she started truly thinking she was special- until she wasn't. And when she fell down, she fell down hard. Lost almost all her friends, got suspended, got picked on, rumors spread about her, and she really did try to be the bigger person in the beginning. Does this justify her bullying Gayoon? Absolutely not, but her character didn't get half the justice everyone else got when it came to redemption. For that, I had to give 4 stars. She's been through a lot and hurt people hurt people, I hate that her story closed without her being redeemed when she clearly deserved it, but I can at least get satisfaction in knowing she tried her best with the fight between her and Soha and she accepted her defeat. She at least got closure on that. Overall, this is a very good, albeit, weird story of overcoming troubles, learning to move on, and accepting love. The characters were written incredibly well and the chapters are pretty much all entertaining in terms of drama or action. Definitely worth the read.

Not much to really say about this one. It's cute, but the plot is all over the place. Or lack of plot? I don't know, not all stories need a plot, but for this to have so many chapters, it read like an anthology than a book. I'm never sure what's going on. Be that as it may, the characters are really cute and it's a pretty simple read.

It's hilariously entertaining, that's as nice as I can put it lol. Very... erm... incommensurable story, just not the type of story style I enjoy. Despite the length of it, it felt like something made for the fantasy of men than it did yuri. I don't know, I can't really articulate well how reading this made me feel. Uncomfortable? Awkward? It was just so outlandish, like something out of a 90's porno or something, I can't really express it any other way. Not the type of yuri I like to read, but the characters were cute and the artwork is really nice. A lot of people seemed to enjoy reading this, but the only reason I managed to read through it all is simple because it only had 8 chapters. Don't think I could have tolerated it if it was longer. I liked this authors other story, I just couldn't really get behind this one.

Too cute for words! This is the kind of yuri I eat up! Everything was done so perfectly! From the story to the art, down to the characters and their traits, this was definitely a 10 out of 10 for me! I try to leave at least one honest critique for every thing I read, but for the life of me, I can't think of a single thing that I think could have been done better with this manga. I may be hyping this up more than I should, but it's been such a long time since I've read such a wholesome, sweet, and funny yuri with such great characters, especially one that can be this popular and not have to rely on sex scenes or fan service. Great work, great writing, fantastic read, this will be one that'll be on my reread list for sure.

I had forgotten all about this yuri, and very sad I did for a moment, but was delighted at the prospect of enjoying it again from the beginning. Absolutely phenomenal story with such depth in characters, easily a 5 star read! Great story that tackles sexism, classism, and women empowerment. How the romance was implemented was just breathtaking, to say the least. Cheong and Madam's relationship from the beginning to the end was such a Rollercoaster of emotions that was so beautifully written and worked out, I wouldn't be surprised if this yuri was in the top 10 yuris when it comes romance. We get such in depth perspectives of both these characters, not only from their childhoods, but with their relationship as well. I can't say I saw the twist near the end coming, but regardless if I did or didn't, this manhua didn't disappoint when it came to putting me on the edge of my seat nearly every chapter. It was so hard to not hit next chapter that I found myself finishing all 85 chapters in a matter of 5 days. Not only was the story for the protagonists perfectly wrapped up with no loose ends, the author also managed to give all the supporting characters the closure they deserved. I'm very happy I came across this yuri again, it simply is an amazing piece of work.

Hmm... I'm a little indifferent when it came to this. The main reason I like yuri (opposed to yaoi) is because it doesn't involve a lot of that ræpe genre bullcrap in order to make the characters fit each other, which, I guess this one didn't really have ræpe? Maybe? I'm not entirely sure to be honest lol. If it was consensual, then I can see myself giving this a better rating. But outside the "romance", this felt to quick to be just 6 chapters. I could be wrong though, but the last chapter did say 'The End' so who knows. This had the potential to be really good had it continued, like, I can see these two characters both escaping their shitty life in order to find happiness with each other while trying to lay low. I'm just not vibing with the ending. Seems... incomplete. But, like I mentioned I'm not sure if this is the end, so I guess we'll just have to wait in see. With more chapters explaining the characters, what's going on, and maybe a slightly better translation, I may just go back and give this one a higher rating. All-in-all, definitely wasn't a horrible read, just too many questions and not enough answers for me.
