Bokura wa Minna Uso Bakari
Last ch 2 Me: *knows exactly where the story is going because it’s always exposed* Story: *has the truth come out* Me: *having known and expected this to happen* NO MY BABY! MY BABIES! LEAVE THEM ALONE! MYHEART CAN’T TAKE THIS!!!
Skin
Last ch 4 Calling him a pedophile goes way too far considering he never actually did anything wrong and they were legally of age in all situations. I think that he’s fine but of course people are not going to agree with me on that front and I just have to accept that my opinions are not very popular. Okamoto is a man who knows what he likes and knows how to get it. He’s an adult. Leave him alone.
Hana To Ryuu
Complete Vol 6 Ch 3 It’s by Kazuma sensei so I’ll read it (Pre Reading) I think I started crying when Hitoshi left Ryuuji in bed, still not done crying. Sensei!!! Charming my heart and then breaking it but smacking on Ryuuji taking Hitoshi’s last name like Hitoshi wanted, is not okay. I’m not okay. I’m crying, that’s how not okay I am.
Aishuu no Kanon
Complete ch 3 Rich family dramas am I right?
At the End of the Road
Complete ch 57.11 Being able to reread this and have it live up to how I remember it is, so fucking delicious
Slutty guy falls for a straight man
Complete ch 12 I think the concept for this is a good one. Just could have been done better. Just hand this concept to a trusted mangaka and have them work their magic on it.
Deliverance of the Counterattack
Last ch 79 Wo Wo is so much like his dad. Still isn’t explained at all how the fuuuck a kid came out of them but it happened. (Ch 33) Cheng plotting against Dong Feng is so sweet. Sweet, sweet revenge. (Ch 44) So, Cinian has a uterus of sorts. And has always had it. Now we know I guess. (Ch 79)
Bad boss
Complete ch 58.5 This is a 4.5 rounded down. The psychology, the characters, the dynamics were all fabulous. The art was amazing and conveyed the emotions of the characters really well. But the story itself wasn’t everything that I wanted it to be. I had to read this all at once because I knew that if I stopped reading in the middle I wouldn’t have come back to it. It just didn’t capture me the way that a good story should. The ending also felt rushed. There wasn’t enough information about what happened right after Seung-gyu was stabbed. It was meaningful to have it be Young-ha’s perspective at the end but even doing that, there could have been more information that would have made the events of the time jump more impactful. Not the ending I was expecting. But once Seung-gyu started to fall in love I really had no idea where he was going to land. I figured he would have to leave everything behind and go abroad like he originally planned. He won’t love someone else ever again, probably. If he does then it would have to be one super special girl. How main girl ends up, I don’t know. She says she’s over him but they hadn’t met in a while and things can change. It’s open for interpretation I guess.
Ranker who lives a second time
Last ch 128 The first chapter I was conflicted but then the second chapter came and Yeonwoo was preparing to get hella revenge. The characters really make this story. Some of the lore is really amazing too, like all the beasts and monsters, martial arts from the one horn clan, and the old lords of the tower. This is a great example of a rather simple over arcing plot and concept is done so well that it becomes something beautifully original. Guy inherits the will of his dead brother after the cruel death of said brother, guy then has to work his ass off to get revenge against the ones that wronged his precious brother. I am incredibly pleased with this story. Edora or Chirpy being best girl has got me stumped though. (Ch 79) The details of this story are so dense. There is so much and I wish I could read the original novel in Korean to get the most of it. Reading the novel is high on my list. Whenever Yeonwoo takes off his mask, it’s a great scene. Top two are where he was in the spring and just before he killed Bahal. Third is with the dragon. Who has yet to be named! Edora’s hope of Yeonwoo to notice her feelings or just generally be sweeter to her always falls flat. She got so excited when he called her just for him to ask about Henova. I’m sorry he’s dumb, baby girl. (Ch 113)
