Tsuki to Yabanjin
European (uke) prince travels to a foreign Arabian land illegaly and is captured by the Chief of some tribe. The Chief takes a liking to the prince's innocent looks and naive demeanor and sexually entices the prince to abandon his home country and stay in this beautiful land. The artwork is absolutely stunning, and I did feel a connection between the characters (although it started in a somewhat dubious way). Plus, Ald is fucking gorgeous.

Pendulum: Kemonobito Omegaverse
I was always turned off by the furry universe, but this manga was so sweet and coherent in its own universe that it didn't bother me one bit, granted. It's about omega boy who was thrown out by his family because he is omega. His father took him to one wolf who raised boy and gave him education. The guy thought that he would eventualy bond with this wolf but he heard that it qsn't going to happen so when his first heat started he refused to mate with other, and when the wolf heard it he rushed to see the boy. It makes it so interesting and cute, the smutty scenes did nothing for me, but it wasn't a turn off, it was all in all beautifully done and heart warming. The plot itself is unique for an omegaverse. It's entirely new for me.
Killing Stalking
KILLING STALKING ENDING IS ACTUALLY GOOD. Ignoring some plot holes, the last chapter was actually a good thematic closure: • Sangwoo What is interesting about sangwoo's ending is that his death is a poetic irony. Sangwoo did exactly what his mother did to him : showing Bum how he slept with Jeun, killing her and make him feel guilty about it, going to the forest together to bury the corpse and so on. And in all this mess, Bum wasn’t even accepted for who he was. In the last author’s note, someone asked if Sangwoo loved Bum, she simply said that the answer is in the last chapter, she pointed out the fact that Sangwoo was calling Bum’s name during his last moment. At the end he did recognize Bum for who he is, and he was killed with a pillow just after that, just like his mom tried to do when he was younger. It’s like he was betrayed and killed a second time by an important person (cause I suppose he didn’t see who killed him), which is very sad and pitiful... His past just repeated itself and destroyed him. It’s sad. It’s horrible. It’s karma. • Yoonbum What makes YoonBum’s death completely valid is that, again, he get in trouble because of his own fault. From the first chapter, we know that YoonBum’s reason to live is Sangwoo; he was his new obsession, the guy who “saved” him when no one cared. And what happened when YoonBum tried get close to his hero? He put himself in a big, obscure mess. The Sangwoo that YoonBum “loved” so much was a monster, an illusion, and how did he die in the end? Pursuing the illusion of a dead man. Just like the start, YoonBum again fallen for an illusion and again did pay the price. • • • They both lived in the same house and they shared a « relationship », but it’s impressive to see how they actually lived in two different worlds and psychologically speaking they had nothing to do with each other. Both of their lives just ended miserably.. and to me they had no future together since their mental illnesses made it impossible. Sigh... their death was the only solution to finally free them from their problems. The end of Killing Stalking is good. Not perfect, a little clichê, but good enough. P.s: Killing Stalking is a psychological horror thriller not a romcon.
