At the End of the Road

Complete | Haribo | 2016 released

Hands down my favorite manhwa. It's psychological and inteligent, and violent but not excessively so. There are some popular korean manhwa out there right now that are so violent and rape-y that I can't justify reading them. The violence in this, however, is not constant, and it definitely adds to the plot and the complexity of the characters. Taemin and woojin are so goddamn complex and the author is a genius at writing banter like damn. The banter is a hell of a lot sharper in Korean but ricepunch's translations were pretty amazing. The official English releases are a lot shittier tbh but that's all we got now. Ngl though I really despise Jiwook. He's such a slimy little worm.

Fools

Complete | yeongha | 2000 released

A sunbae in college gradually falls for his cute hoobae, whom he knows is gay. He is confused by his attraction because he has never considered being attracted to another male. This is a very realistic drama about a university student who gradually realizes his homosexual attraction. In Korea, homosexuality is hardly acknowledged, and many people don't believe that it even exists. The homophobia isn't so overt as it is in other countries, which is why the protagonist slowly comes to recognize his feelings.

Sadistic Beauty

Complete | Geumsan Lee, Woo Yeonhui | 2016 released

Poor Haesol! I just want Doona eonni to be nice to him and love him. Some pretty quality smut right here, although I really want to see some mxm action hehehehehe. The plot takes a backseat to the smut, but I can get on board with that since the art is so nice.

Maybe it's the fault of the translation, but the plot isn't very cohesive. It just seems to be a series of unrelated events that aren't even particularly interesting. At least the art is nice? I'm still going to give it a chance but nothing has happened so far and we're 30 chapters in.

Man Of A Virtue

Now that sadistic beauty has been discontinued, this is a good alternative. The art is quite good, although I’ve yet to decide if I really like the characters or not.

Sweet Trap

Complete | Bbong | 2000 released

The art was great, but I don't understand how this story could be completed. The plotline with the sister is totally unresolved. I was really excited about the possibility of a female top but the story simply ended after Herma chose the brother.

Assorted Wildness

The protagonist is hilariously ballsy and crazy. His ex is the real MVP tho. Hides him from mafia, helps film blackmail porn, gives him a tazer, is his getaway driver, willing to be targeted by mafia to save his sister.....this is just a regular dude?! Why is he an ex tho lmao. Need a man who would literally hide a body for you no questions asked.
