OnlyMes's manga / #Romance(65)

Her ShimCheong

Complete | Seri, Bi-wan | 2000 released

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.

White Lilies in Love BRIDE's Newlywed Yuri Anthology

Ongoing | Anthology | 2000 released

This was entirely too cute to handle, I typically don't leave comments on anthologies since it's an amalgamation of authors and stories, but this anthology in particular really did something too me. Not sure what it was, but I actually started crying reading the fox wedding story, hormones are a hell or a thing. But to get back on topic, all of the stories were beautiful and well worth the read. I'd love to own the physical copy of this just to have it in my collection because it's something I can definitely see myself going back to reread because of how sweet and cute it was.

Ring my Bell

Complete | Yeongol | 2000 released

Not gonna lie, I really slept on this manhwa. I remember reading 2 or 3 chapters years ago and couldn't make it any farther because I didn't think the story was that interesting but I'm glad I gave it another change (even if it was years late). It's not that I thought the story was boring or anything, just that there wasn't much excitement that made me want to keep reading, but as I kept clicking chapter after chapter, I noticed how wholesome their story was. Outside of the drama or conflict, this felt like a genuine, real, and relatable story about two women who really love one another. These characters felt real, which is something I don't say frequently when I'm reading webtoons. Although it does start off a little slow and irratic, watching the progression and passion of the two main characters easily made this series a top 10 for me. Definitely consider giving it a read if you like simple and sweet stories.

We Are in Love So Much We Laugh

Complete | yuni | 2019 released

I love these two. I remember buying a copy of I Love You So Much I Hate You, and immediately fell in love with the artwork and story. I'm so glad the author continued their lives together through these side stories, they've been such a pleasure to read. I love light hearted, down to earth, relatable stories like these with such great characters. Highy recommend checking out I Love You So Much I Hate You if you haven't already. Really, anything by this author I would highly recommend, but these two drive it home for me.

So, Do You Wanna Go Out, Or?

Ongoing | tmfly | 2000 released

A beautiful, breathtaking story about two women who had to learn to love and lose. Seiko was such a great character, strong, determined, steadfast, someone who knew what she want and when she wanted it. Having paired her with someone like Miwa, someone so timid and insecure and unsure of herself nearly broke my heart when Seiko admitted that Miwa was the strong one in their relationship. It really opened my eyes to how Seiko truly saw herself. She was the weak one, afraid of getting hurt or being let down so she set up these barriers to keep herself safe. I fell absolutely in love with this manga, the characters, the artwork, even the sidee characters. Everyone had such intricate stories and relationships and it only stands to reason that not every relationship is going to be perfect, not even with the person you're destined to be with. I loved seeing Seiko and Miwa grow and develop throughout this story, both becoming better versions of themselves, versions they knew the other needed. 10 out of 10 story for me.
