ginhiji enthusiast's manga / #jealous uke(9)

Food Chain

Complete | Im Ae-Ju | 2000 released

dynamic: younger, cheeky seme + Hijikata-like uke + more serious seme he doesn’t get along with at first nothing too special but i enjoyed myself! a good generic love triangle if you want something familiar. the jealousy scenes were really satisfying and my betting horse won so i’m happy :)

speechless. absolutely lovely. some tweets i made about this manga via my @paincest account: there’s always these few books/mangas/etc. out there that make me feel… kinder, if that makes sense? it warms your heart so much that for a second, you forget everything bad in the world and forgive everything that ever hurt you? that’s what “from green kitchen” is to me. it’s such a lovely read, i couldn’t stop smiling and tearing up from how happy they made me feel?? playing wasteland, baby! as a bgm really just intensified everything aaaa it’s been awhile since i’ve read anything so soft that still managed to keep me interested

same old, same old. generic 2000s ish. the akuma series isn’t really anything special, i just like jealousy scenes.

Under Grand Hotel

Complete | sadahiro mika | 2003 released

copied from initial read: oh wow thete’s a lot to take in it’s /really/ good and went BEYOND my expectations. it’s full of drama and a plot. the thing is i did get bothered by how often the uke gets raped by other guys that rlly pissed me off probably would never reread like it’s intriguing cause of problematic and controversial themes but ehhhh it rlly is emotionally heavy the mains switch but not with each other it was kinda annoying but tolerable enough

to start of with: i’ve read this manga a lot and it’s been years since i first read it so honestly, the magic is completely gone. if i were reading this for the first time again, i would like it a lot. i remember being so satisfied and squirmy over the jealousy scenes. now though? not so much. i found myself just skinming. the uke’s a little boring and eyeroll-worthy. the jealousy scene has been too overplayed in my head. it’s just really boring now. it’s one of the most generic “mean seme is mean to uke who likes him till uke is with someone else” bl.so if you’re into that, eat your heart out

HOLY FUCK I LOVE THIS WEBTOON SO MUCH AND I CANNOT WAIT TO REREAD IT SOON!!!! the art was really weird to me at first and i actually dropped the story for awhile bc the first couple chapters were pretty boring before eventually reading it again. the style quickly grew on me and i ended up being obsessed with the art style. the bottom annoyed me at first not gonna lie lmao. I LOVE THE SEME SO MUCH !!!!!!!! his personality is so chill, and he’s sooo handsome and sooooo my type and ahhh he’s everything LISTEN. they are the cutest ever and they have these like little gestures of romance like just cuddling moments and THEY ARENT BORING TYPE OF FLUFF its still so fun ahhh the last couple chapters i have mixed feelings of. it’s sort of like uhhhh that one webtoon i read,,, uhh,,, “work, fight and love” where they could have ended it then and there but then they added in more drama. except in this case, i just think it was a bit too short-paced. the drama and angst was definitely necessary! ahhh one of my top faves reread: review stays the same :)

honestly, i remember this being better than it was. it’s still good, don’t get me wrong. it was just better in memory. the storytelling is kinda all over the place and i feel like a floating, invisible object to the characters sometimes lol wish we got more explanations on their wolves and fox mythology it was pretty vague and honestly this could story could still work without it and nothing would change
