crystalvmin's manga / #Comedy(31)

Yep dropping this from the get go. If yeonwoo trying to commit suicide due to his love not being reciprocated wasn’t already enough of a red flag for you, well he masturbated and released on hwibum while he was asleep ON HIS FACE. The whole unlucky-lucky trope was fine and I wanted to read it, but I’m not staying for a story that I feel like would try to romanticize/normalize sexual assault and weaponize mental health against a partner.

Take a seat cos this’ll be a long one. The first season was really cute since they bicker like there's no tomorrow, but in secret they're pining for the other like crazy. The first time they had sex was also really satisfying because thank god and finally? The tension that they had, sexual and non-sexual, was so good. The following season had put light on the "incident" that happened in the first season, but other than that there are so many things that are being kept from the reader until now and it's really putting me on edge, 50 good, 50 bad. It's fine to keep secrets as it keeps people interested, but the more I read this, the more I feel like I don't know anything at all it makes me feel frustrated; frustration felt especially on the couple's relationship. Let me break it down into a few points: 1. I get slow burn, I love slow burn, I worship slow burn, but their relationship is more like going in circles rather than slow burn. They move forward, then move back, or worse, they just become stagnant and show no progress until a few more chapters (at times several more chapters). They have the same doubts and the same misunderstandings that they can't break free from because they don't communicate and "solve" everything with sex. I love the manhwa's sex scenes as much as the next guy, but I can't even enjoy the sex scenes sometimes because it replaced a conversation they should be having. The porn is overpowering the plot when there’s still so much to unpack. 2. Obviously they're not just sex buddies let's bffr and idk if I've misunderstood something, but I'm pretty sure Youngchan wanted to take the relationship further until Hyunsoo got the wrong idea again and just fucked out of anger? idk man and now Hyunsoo is definitely expecting something romantic from their relationship, but at this point he still can't be honest about it. It's making ME want to rip out both their hair and slap some sense into them. 3. Connected the first 2 points, I also think that the author is trying to drag this out by bringing out problem after problem, just so that they can put off any real progress between Hyunsoo and Youngchan’s relationship. On a more positive note, I love the art, especially the expressions, it makes me crack tf up and is definitely meme/reaction pic material. Idk why I notice it but they draw pretty nice hands too like the form’s really dyanmic and all that. Sex scenes are pretty decent too just that some are too repetitive. The comedic aspect is good as well. I would have rated this a 4 if it didn’t kinda go downhill after season 1 or earlier half of season 2.

This was really good though as an annoyance to lovers trope worshipper their fights and tension with each other really spiced things up. The sex scenes were really hot too because of that (or maybe I was in the mood for smut lmao idk). I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that chikage was a simp for shirakawa all along and that they were actually kind of in the same boat already lmfao. Though I kinda wanted a teensy tiny more development before they confessed to each other. Lot of adorable scenes and it’s sad tabata didn’t have a side story where he finds another person to love or sumn. Good read.

Don’t judge a book by its cover! I love me some delinquent bottoms for sure cos they’re always the cutest. They be fucking like crazy tho so more sex than plot for sure. I found nishiki amusing even though he was an asshole trying to break them up after knowing. Short and light-hearted.

I really liked how even though the plot started with the love at first sight trope, it was paired with the really ridiculous and unserious art style and I really am here for that. This manhwa will guarantee you a good time and I’m excited for updates because they are adorable af.

This was really good!! (aside from chapter 6 I’m ngl the timeline of the events confused me a bit, not sure if it was part of the story or just extras) I LOVE ME SOME OLD DIVORCED MEN HAVING A CHANCE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AGAIN. But seriously though it’s insane how a person can love one person for so long even though they never got together during that time. I really liked the comedy aspect of the manga too it was really kooky and the way they behaved was so fun to see especially in middle-aged men. Sometimes tho it was a bit too kooky at times especially during the sex scenes cos they’re censored with random things and random texts lol the art style is also very unique and non-conventional (in the manga way), definitely not everyone’s cup of tea but I see the vision.

Jackass is such a fun manga, I’ve read this a bunch of times before already, but this is the first time I’ll be actually writing a comment for it since it’s been years. I’ve really always adored the main couple because I’m really into bottoms like Keisuke, very soft on the inside albeit being tough and resistant on the outside. The whole manga was light-hearted despite some drama and overthinking here and there. Now since I was younger when I first read this, I never thought much about why students and teachers could not be in romantic relationships, so here comes my issue about Katsumi and the doctor, like girl bffr I came back to jackass because there was a spin-off about Hosaka and Miyoshi and I was flabbergasted with their age gap. I saw a comment saying they were also from jackass (my brain cannot remember anymore) so I reread it and to my surprise, there was not only 1, BUT 2 ephebophiliac relationships in this universe. This isn’t really the first manga Scarlet Beriko wrote that had age gap in it, but the age gap in this being twice the age of highschoolers is criminal so I’m just gonna pretend the 2nd couple does not exist; I give my whole heart to Keisuke and Masayuki.
