Crimson's manga / #Possessive(8)

Cover Up

Complete | gyaga | 2019 released

A top asks a bottom tattoo artist, past prostitute, to cover up his burn scar on his back. The bottom has a stalker psycho ex with a saviour complex, who follows him along to Korea. Okayish storyline. While the metaphors and imagery are nice, I dislike the bottom a lot. Also, the psycho ex gets a possible love storyline at the very end and it doesn't go anywhere. Good English. Some blips, but otherwise understandable. Very good art style. I liked the way they were drawn. It was also full colour.

Fruit of the Tongue

Complete | 머니 | 2019 released

A cult member top takes interest in a priest bottom who helped him out as a teenager, kidnapping him. Bottom is passed around cult members before top decides he wants him for himself. Kills the cult members and locks the priest up to keep for himself. Okayish storyline. It wasn't executed the best, but the kidnapping at the end was good, when the bottom realised he wanted to stay with the top. Bad English. Sometimes I didn't know what they were talking about. Good art. I liked the style. Attractive but stereotypical BL.

Black Mirror

Complete | Muhwa,Wrist | 2000 released

Bottom forgets about his past with the top, but decides to move in with him for school reasons anyway. He is haunted by visions and reflections. Slowly, living with the top corrupts him as he realises more and more about his past, specifically their combined ability to kill people. Very good storyline. Points of the story flow into each other. Interesting concept. The characters have distinct personalities. Very good English. Very good art style. Full colour, and the characters look like actual adults. Favourited.

Sweet Trap

Complete | Bbong | 2000 released

A bottom who can have any woman takes an interest in a feminine top. His sister does too, but he wins over the affection. Okayish storyline. Not enough chapters to go anywhere concrete. I disliked the top being feminine. Good English. Well translated. Very good art style. It fit the characters it portrayed.

Mania

Complete | Brothers Without a Tomorrow | 2000 released

An ex-gang member top gets saved from an illegal fighting ring by a business man bottom. He becomes his bodyguard and gets used by the bottom to get back at the bottom's father. They do fall in love, at the detriment to his family. To save the bottom from previous gang members and his father looking for revenge, the top fakes the bottoms death and goes to jail. They reunite after a few years. Good storyline. Solid and thought out. Okayish English. Rusty in some places. Okayish art. Looked a bit weird in places. Same face syndrome.

When The Yakuza Falls Inlove

Ongoing | Murimi,dupal | 2019 released

A gang leader top's son mistakes bottom for his mama, making the top hire the bottom as a live-in mum. Through the son's help, they get closer and fall in love. Okayish storyline. I like the concept but it is poorly executed. The son is used as a plot device to bring the two of them together even after the initial meeting. There is no real conflict, everything is solved too quickly. Poor English. It is translated badly. Okayish art style. It has its charms.

A bottom detective is solving the case of a killer and needs to ask the prince for help from the higher ranks of guards. Top agrees as long as bottom stays as his toy at first. Side character obsessed with bottom, is the killer. Bottom gets pregnant with top's child but doesn't know that it is the top. Very good storyline. Interesting and fleshed out, although the mpreg mechanic is a bit weird. Poor English. Badly translated. Very good art style. Charming. The characters are hot.
