OnlyMes's manga / #complete(40)

I don't typically read these types of manhua, but I really enjoyed this. What got me reading was the character design, Seyoung was so pretty to me to the point where I found myself screenshotting frames of her face just to draw later. I loved everything about her, I even based a character from my yuri off of her design and personality. The story was really interesting and something you don't see much of when a young man is involved, the title had me thinking immediately that Jinwoo was the protagonist and we'd be seeing the story revolved around him and his perverted tendencies, it caught me off guard when the cute, small, quiet girl was actually the pervert. Outside the art alone, the scenes were beautiful and well written, my only critique would be the embarrassingly long amount of time it took for them to get together. They should have guessed that the other person liked them (especially considering they liked enough to raw dog) and I do not like tropes where no one is even trying to ask the other out with various signs showing that they're interested. I get it makes for a suspenseful story they're able to drag out longer, but it's so very frustrating.

I haven't read many alpha/omega-verse series let alone one that's a yuri, I'm still slightly confused about the whole pheromone and heat cycle thing, especially when betas are involved. I've reread this manhua twice because I felt like I needed to read it a second time in order to give a fair rating of it, and even then, I felt like 3 stars was overly generous. Not to say that is was a bad story, I just personally felt like it was narrated poorly, plus the poorly translated chapters near the end didn't help with that. I do believe this could have been a much better story if it was being told from Minjus point of view instead of Hayoons, the entire premise of Hayoon wanting to leave and get away out of fear of being abandoned never even hit me as a possible direction the manhua would have considered taking, such a cliché plot to use when the opposing character is almost always obsessed and in love with protagonist in question without there being a slither of doubt of how much they like the one trying so desperately to get over their feeling/ trying to leave. For me, the story would have done a lot better with us viewing it from Minjus perspective because we already know how she feels and what her end goal is, it would have made for a much more exciting story if we didn't know Hayoons intentions and we got cliffhangers with her just up and disappearing and us not knowing why or where she went. Overall, it wasn't the worse omegaverse I've read- though it might be one of the worse yuri-megaverse I've seen- but despite me being disappointed/ confused with the story and universe, I did still really enjoy every character that was introduced. I might give this manhua another read later down the line once I'm more familiar and comfortable with yuri omegaverse.

This manga was really cute, but dang it, if I had a dollar for every time Kayoko or Kaori chose not to speak on their thoughts to the other person, I'd have enough money to buy the damn volume set. Literally every obstacle or challenge either of them faced in this manga was strictly because of a lack of communication. Talk to each other, let the other know how much you love them, let them know when something is troubling you, I never understood the whole "I'll just keep it to myself to avoid hurting you" cliché when that does literally more harm than good, especially if the other person has to find out about it indirectly. One or two times, I can relate, but EVERY time there was a conflict of interest it was because of a lack of communication. Other than that issue, I loved the story. I prefer yuris like these, ones that are cute and fluffy, ones that make my heart flutter. Kayoko was such an innocently cute character and Kaori was such a striking beauty. I really enjoyed reading through this, watching them grow and discover things about themselves and each other, and working through their problems. It tackled adult relationships so well, and I give it high marks for that. I was sad to see it end, but I'm so satisfied with the story's wrap up and conclusion. If there is a chance of this getting a side story, I would LOVE to see Kayoko and her friend Mahiro work through their problems they seem to have. I hate that it ended and we couldn't get closure from Mahiro, who's going to continue her life being in love with her friend who she knows she'll never have a chance with, let alone being able to truly confess to her out of fear of losing their friendship. She's been waiting by Kayokos side for years, I think she deserves happiness of her own so I'm very disappointed on where her story arch ended.

It's hard to give fair ratings on one-shots, because there isn't really much to critique from just a few pages of context, especially one with such short dialog, however, given the small length of this chapter, it was still incredibly cute and simple to read. Not much to gather from the short conversations the two had in the story, and I personally don't care for openings where they throw you into the middle of the story without any context, but all in all I enjoyed reading through it. Cute, yet simple and I appreciate the extra page at the end focusing on the cap and the watch, it made going back to reread it a lot more detailed once you realized why a lot of senses focused on those two objects.

Are they swimming with their school uniforms on? Outside of that, this short story was very cute. But I guess anything from this author is cute. I'm not a fan of stories left hanging at the end for readers to come up with their own conclusion of what's going to happen, but honestly, it doesn't make it a bad read, I'm just the type of person who likes closure. Even so, I still thought this yuri was very well done. This author always does such a good job making the readers experience the emotion their characters are conveying, and above anything else, that's what I really enjoy the most about reading their works. The mood, the tone, the scenery, everything always fits so perfectly together for the story that's being told and this author has yet to miss that mark when it comes to storytelling. It's a shame most of their works are one-shots, a lot of them deserve so much more than a chapter.

Oh my God, I have a wave of emotions going through me right now! This story is absolutely beautiful, I was holding back tears over the symbolism! I have no words, it feels like even trying to leave a review is so hard to do for me at the moment because of the emotions I've expressed while reading through this. Love is such a beautiful thing, and too much love could be a dangerous weapon. You have to be willing to sacrifice for the ones you love, but even those who love you can hurt you and still love you. There is so much that can be taken from this story, absolutely phenomenal story telling, the theme of this story fit so incredibly well with an angel having their wings cut off. I really can't express the sheer amount of emotions this story sent me through, the shock, the sadness, the heartfelt moments, and the softness of the art style made this unforgettable. I've always rated this author with pretty high marks for the artwork and originality with these one-shots alone, but this story put me into a place I never thought a yuri would put me in. I don't believe any other one-shot will ever be as beautifully written as this one, I have genuine tears in my eyes. I can't put into words how stunningly beautiful this story was, this is definitely one you do not want to skip over!

Beautifully written love story about longing and regret. The reverse transition in the second part was surprising, but I loved how their roles were reversed, then, and only then did the senpai understand how she felt. That love, that longing, the unwillingness to leave no matter how many times you get hurt, this is raw love. I hate so much that the younger girl had to get hurt so many times until she became a version of herself she resented in her senpai, it's such an ironic story that was amazingly written. I love this author so much, the twists, surprises, tragedies in all their short stories are always so well done. Wonderful job.

Another wonderful one-shot by the author. This story hits me so hard because I can absolutely relate to the girl with the lighter hair. She fell in love with the girl with the black hair, she loved everything about her, her good and her bad sides, she genuinely loved her and accepted all of her, but once someone starts to change- even for the better- can you say that you love that person the same as when you first fell in love with them? This is such a heart wrenching story to me because I can sympathize with both sides, the darker haired girl because she wanted to become a better version of herself so she wouldn't worry the person she loves, and the lighter haired girl because those traits the dark haired girl is trying to fix are the very traits that made the lighter hair one love her truly, and she couldn't possibly tell her to stop fixing herself. She wanted someone to care for, I believe that's where her love came from, but when that's no longer needed, what's to be done? She was genuinely hurt to have to leave her, but leaving her would be for the best because if all she wanted was to be relied upon while the other person wanted to become more independent, their relationship was bound to have failed. Bittersweet love story, phenomenal storytelling, and breathtaking artwork, this one shot was a delight and heartache to read.

I liked the story and the art, it had a great original plot that you don't see in most yuris. Loved Jeongwon's character. The design to the personality, she gave my brain happy chemicals every time I saw her. Jisoo was such a great match for her, their dynamic went so well together, from the very beginning I felt like they were the perfect match. Hwayeon, however... well, I guess her character was made specifically for her to be disliked, and that's understandable. She was a crooked character from the start who only really ever cared for herself and what other people could provide for her. When Jeongwon started getting attracted to Jisoo, I don't believe Hwayeon's reaction came from genuine concern or fear of losing a friend/ fuck buddy. I think she knew she was going to lose a reliable source of money, living space, and attention. Most of the problems that Jisoo and Jeongwon faced before they even started dating was because of Hwayeon, so as a character who is suppose to be the antagonist, she was written really well, I just wish she had more of a redemption. Overall, this was a fantastic read, the characters are relatable and cute, the scenes are beautiful, the tone and mood of the NSFW scenes are done at a great pace (not too many, not too few), this one will be going to my list of rereads because I genuinely enjoyed nearly every chapter.

Not a fan of all the sex related content in every chapter, but maaaaan, I kinda really enjoyed this. Even speeding through the sex scene parts, I still had to scroll back up to take notice at how the scenes were so beautifully colored. Came for the art, stayed for the comedy and storytelling. Although this isn't what I traditionally read as far as genre goes, I still give this a 10 out of 10! Woongs character design from the very beginning is what made me pick up this manhua, I'm a big fan of the cute and fluffy type of character, his personality fit so well given the kind of content this story showed. I'm not as happy with how Yunas story ended however, I didn't care for the sudden "she hasn't spoken to me since that day, I think she blocked me" No, I'm sorry, that was such lazy writing! I really needed that closure! I know Yuna was at fault from the beginning by telling her mom they were dating without disclosing it to Woong, (and yes, most of her obsession came from idolization) but Woong didn't do her any favors either by just looking to her for sex while also dangling her along when he wasn't even sure how he felt about her. Yuna deserved some sort of closure episode with Woong at the very least. It was a given that he and Soohyun would end up together though, it just felt so lazy how they managed to get together. I wish we could have seen more from Woong and Soohyun, all of that buildup for a chapter or two felt a little lackluster, but enjoyable nonetheless. If there is ever a second story or side story, I'd love to also see more from Hani and Miso, I loved Miso so much and would have loved to see so much more of him.
