crispicheva's manga / #redemption arc(2)

Waterside Night

Complete | Euja,으자 | 2019 released

storyline: euihyun inherits his deadbeat dad’s debt. taeju is the collector. a story on power dynamics, humanity and the way love can bloom in the cruelest of places. review: honestly this was a fucking ride. in the beginning i couldn’t fathom how they could turn this pairing around to make me root for them, but this was a redemption arc done right (as much as one can “come back” from raping someone)… i felt so bad for euihyun the entire time jesus christ, my boy deserved to be happy!! but anyways, story wise it sucks you in and keeps you hooked, in the sense that you basically only get reminded it’s an omegaverse at times, like the whole story doesn’t revolve around that at all… and the sex scenes go CRAZY

Chew and Swallow

Complete | Gawee | 2014 released

storyline: former delinquent meets guy at school who seems nice and friendly but is in a sort of abusive relationship with the top delinquent basically. former delinquent guy wants him to himself, telling himself he’s better for his new crush than his current keeper, but little does he know they’re all the fucking same. review: honestly this was such a tragedy fest… i feel for the abused guy, he was just being passed around and fought over like some object when in fact he deserved so much better… both redemption arcs (former delinquent and main abuser) were necessary but i truly think the guy should’ve tossed both their asses to the curb and loved himself, none of them deserved him.
