crispicheva's manga / #gangster(6)

storyline: seo yijin is an office worker whose family gets in trouble with some loansharks, and since his boss, kang joohyuk, is rumoured to be a gangster since he's missing a finger, yijin asks him for help... however, joohyuk is a healthy gay man who's attracted to yijin, while yijin is a homophobe..... fuck buddies to lovers done right imo reaction: my poor heart omg i love these boys so muchhhhh!! poor joohyuk, he really fell for a homophobe.... so glad yijin's sister gave her brother that talk and made him realize gay people are people too lol but wow they got so domestic and so cute???? “you’re glowing, my dear” I WILL CRY

storyline: lee sanghwa is a college student who likes playing rpg games. there’s this one person he plays online with, whose nickname is mirae, and they decide to meet… turns out mirae is a gangster named kwon leegeum who had joined the game to make some friends! but while sanghwa has been crushing on his best friend ryuhan for years now, leegeum grows steadily in his heart….. reaction: lee geum is ridiculously attractive oml

storyline: guy cums pearls. that’s it. reaction: i’m amazed by how much plot stemmed from this very simple premise. human greed, capitalism, deranged men, trauma… the whole shebang.

storyline: leewon is a korean-russian attorney living in russia when he gets mixed up with caesar sergeev, a mafia heir who becomes interested in him. review: great art but 1) the seme’s was way too big!!! mutant-like, even!!! and 2) it’s kinda crazy how many times i said OUT LOUD “baby he SHOT you WHY do you love him!!???” edit: this was a 3 star story for me until i saw caesar tell leewon he could've picked a sexier weapon, leewon slam a gun into caesar's head and ask him "sexy enough for you?". then it became a 4 star story. i'm sorry, i don't make the rules. edit 2: nope, caesar just slit his own throat in the middle of the street because leewon said he was gonna break up with him. we're back to 3 stars, and it's really only that high because there are some good moments in this and the art is amazing. fuckkkkkk.

storyline: season 1 shows jihyun, a college students working part-time bartender who’s a pleasure-seeker, and yohan, a classmate who’s jihyun’s physical type but a real pushover. jihyun tries his luck and they start a physical relationship since jihyun doesn’t believe he can date anyone. meanwhile yohan is falling head over heels for him but won’t push for more. angsty but resolved!! season 2?? my favorite: jihyun’s nerdy classmate, daeshik, discovers he’s gay with yohan’s brother, yosef, who’s a total gangster. THE CUTEST COUPLE AND DYNAMIC EVER. then our resident lesbian sohae, who starts off poorly but is along for the ride and loves the boys as much as us. review: i love how daeshik just never stopped wearing the rainbow-themed clothing. also yosef’s longer hair and stubble?? PLEASE bring them back!!

storyline: lee geom is involved with gangsters and often works as a male prostitute, having been unwillingly roped into this world after his mother died. mercilessly abused, the only hope in his life was his dream of revenge, and the chance to return to his normal life beside his first love, his college best friend im wooyeon. review: not a 5 star story because i think many of the abuse scenes seemed unnecessarily drawn out and excessive, and the final resolution with wooyeon also felt lacking, but a great story nonetheless. i loved yeonseo as well, and their relationship in the friend group (WE COULD’VE HAD A THROUPLE!!!!!)
