Glitter's manga / #Comedy(104)

Reserved and straight faced city boy X open book burly country boy. Bottom pursues, wholesome. Drawing style is different than most, but has character; beautiful scenery. Progression felt pretty slow until around chapter 35, then the story started to grow on me. Just put off a bit by the infantizing of the country boy; like damn, he's a grown man, why is he characterized as completely childish in every way. Story would have been vastly improved if they treated him like an adult. Official on Tappytoon. Officials are here other than the preview and chapter 1. 12/16/22

Gang boys, top pursues. Ending feels a bit rushed and seems like the story got shortened from what was intended (based off chapter estimates from the author, and it's weird there's no final author's note), but still a good story. I didn't really get invested in this until around chapter 40, I'm glad I convinced myself to read the whole thing. Official release on Lezhin. Officials are here from chapter 12 onwards. I've bought it all on Lezhin. 1st: 9/27/22, 2nd(?): 12/26/22

Soul mates, head chef x employee, dominant top, bottom thought he was straight, slow burn. One of the few I've seen where the top looks like he's really enjoying himself/caught up in pleasure rather than unfazed but horny. He actually has emotions and can be affected by his emotions, and even capable of being and looking emotionally vulnerable at times. What a novel concept. So glad the artist does him justice as a ML. I've purchased the whole thing, this bookmark is just for my own reference. Official on Lezhin [mature]. Was removed here due to a lawsuit from the author. Complete, and so incredibly worth purchasing.

All of 58, really. Especially Chef's drunken face a little before 1/2 way. 1/2 way through episode 77: the mating ritual. All of 77 is really cute. Beginning of chapter 81: the underwear End of 82: beautiful sun rise End of the final epilogue: great/hot couple picture Characters: MC: Yeon Suha ML: Calix Elle Ward -MC's friend: Yu Sahyeon (we don't talk about the second ML) ML POV: 45-46 Side story 3 also briefly shows Sahyeon's view of Chef and Suha 1st read: 1/9/23, 2nd read: 1/11/23, 3rd read: 1/14/23, 4th read: 2/1/23, 5th: 2/23/23, 6th: 5/7/23, 7th: 9/20/23, 8th: 4/20/24

President x secretary. Vignette style story telling. Summary: "Xiao Nuo, better known as Secretary Xiao, is the dedicated and hardworking secretary of Mo Yanchuan. Mo Yanchuan, better known as President Mo, is the cold and aloof president and heir of Mo Electronics Group. Constantly being scrutinized and nitpicked at, Secetary Xiao is convinced that President Mo hates his guts. Little does he know, however, that President Mo's feelings towards him are not what he thinks they are at all. In fact, they may be even more than he lets on..."

Pretend pursuit, top pursues, popularity/wealth gap, top cold to everyone else Official on Pocket Comics. Officials are here. I've read and bought 41-60 on Pocket Comics (as of 2/20/23). 1st: 1/17/23, 2nd: 2/9/23

[Complete] Extremely cringe pretense, but the pretense gets dropped really quick. Long term crush. Official release on Pocket Comics, "Becoming Human." Officials are here after chapter 3 (first 3 are free on the app). Edit: Now also on Tappytoon, currently releasing even though it's the same translation.

Director x employee, author x fan, top pursues, chaebol top, friends with benefits/sex partners turned lovers. An ever increasing case of yaoi hands. A couple of plot points are fleshed out more than needed for the very minor role they play, and whoever the hyung with the mole on his hand was who knows because he's never brought up again after the few panels where the MC wonders about him. Seems like it's implied it was ML's brother but there's literally zero mention or picture of the mole ever again which is weird. Official on Lezhin [mature] ("Top to Bottom"). The officials are here after chapter 4 (only chapter 1 is free on Lezhin, I bought 2-4). Story ends at chapter 56, 57 is just 56 posted twice. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/kx91g3e/big-big All official on Bato (16 is cut off though) https://bato.to/title/92360-top-to-bottom-official Characters: Bottom: Jeong Hee-Tae (deputy manager) Top: Kwon Mu-Gyeol (executive director) _ Side couple: Bottom: Ryu Jae-won (high school friend of MC) Top: Han Beom (ML's younger cousin) 1st: 1/21/23, 2nd: 2/10/24

Lawyer x client, top pursues. Their jobs are super important for the first few chapters, then virtually never mentioned again. Relationship gets super serious hella quick. Why can't their face shapes ever be consistent istg, it's to the point that it's distracting. Officials on Tappytoon ("All Strings Attached"), fully released on Inkr ("Do Not Reject Me") and Bilibili ("No Rejection Allowed"). All 3 have different translations, and the ones posted here aren't official. I like the Bilibili ones the most. No longer available on Tapas.
