Kyouichi tries to be in a relationship with a coworker woman but he’s never able to forget Imagase, and breaks up with the woman.
Thank you for the meal
Interesting, unique story. Do is a chef and is reunited with an old classmate, Yu Geon, who used to be fat but because anorexic/bulimic after his girlfriend dumped him. He can only seem to get over it if he eats off of the Do's body, I think?
The Sound of Sugar Cubes
Messed but but interesting. Hanyul is friends with another orphan, Dolph, and they dream of being singers. He’s also friends with a rich boy, Harold, who’s in a boy band. One day he sees his friend being gang-raped and Harold talking about killing him. He falls and blacks out and when he’s awake Dolph has vanished. Convinced Harold murdered him, Hanyul disappears and changes his name. When working as a delivery boy he runs into a producer (?) names Weon Lee, who hears him sing and finds out who he is because he coincidentally knows Harold too. Weon Lee is obsessed on making him a successful singer and forces him into it by promising him revenge on Harold. Harold turns out was is a psycho and was in love with Hanyul in high school
Loplop
I don’t even know how to describe this.... Felix, a struggling artist, is friends with Harry, a genius um (professor??) who is a complex, dark character who uses a voice recorder to describe things around him. Felix is Harry’s only friend since he’s a hard person to get along with. Interesting characters, confusing plot.
Truth or Dare
Really confusing. The characters are constantly spouting philosophical thoughts that I don’t quite get. The main character is a “Dare”, a person who can lie, in a world where only “Truths” are supposed to exist. The class president pursues him but is very mysterious and manipulative.
Stalker's Game
Interesting. Overworked salaryman has a stalker who leaves him gifts, makes him dinner, and even cleans his apartment. He’s torn between being scared and feeling grateful.
Hotel Phryne
Doyoung returns from being abroad and falls deeply in love with transfer student Hyunjin. He takes him to a country hotel, planning on confessing in style but the hotel is run by a guy with a rose head who makes multiples of Hyunjin and makes Doyoung pick out the “real” one. A total mind-fuck of a story
Obey Me
Totally messed up, but the mystery keeps me reading. Cha Jinyoo has a miserable life of abuse and one day gets kidnapped at a convenience store. When he wakes up he’s in a strange room and his kidnapper is an old high school classmate, Gyuh-wool, he didn’t have much to do with. A lot of messed up things happens. He gets hit repeatedly and there’s rape. It becomes apparent that something happened between him and Gyuh-wool that he can’t remember and there’s many holes in his memory.
Cry Me a River
Beautiful artwork. At first I thought this was going to be a pretty simple story. A guy is hired by a loan shark who his dad owes money to keep an eye on a man-ho. But there’s some sort of complicated backstory that’s starting to emerge
