I'm honestly not sure why this is rated so high. I guess it's light and innocent, but the characters don't have much substance to them and the couple is kinda boring. The "spinoff" (which is like 3x as long) is a lot better. Not licensed in English. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/qs92jvn/guang-xiang 1/11/24

It's called a monster lord in the comic, but it means a demon lord. Licensed on lots of places including Inkr, "My Covenant with the Monster Lord." Free on Inkr with membership, but a lot is lost in their translation compared to the fan translation here. It's interesting to have read most of this one first and compare my notes I have on this one to help my understanding of the other and see the differences between the terms they've translated (or chosen not to translate and keep as names). Fan translations up to chapter 46, then WeComics translations so some terms change. The official translation is the same between Inkr and WeComics. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/rie4mv3/the-demon-lord-wants-to-take-responsibility-of-me The series is complicated and has a lot of foreign names, I have detailed notes on my phone to help follow along. Important scenes: ML makes a blood allegiance link with MC, an oath to stay together enforced spiritually-- 2 MC regains his spiritual power-- 18 MC realizes ML is Blacky/Blackball-- 22 ML's revealed confession through a memory when MC was unconscious-- 44 Direct confession from MC-- 46 1st: 9/24/22, 2nd: 1/24/24 (81)

Saw-style commanded actions, two guys who thought they were straight, status/wealth gap. Established close friendship, good dynamic. Some size difference. Confidently innocent bottom who jumps into anything he can without giving it a second thought and we love that about him. Main story ends at 53, the rest is an epilogue. 54-58 is the second ML in a side couple, and 59-60 is our main couple. Official is on Tapas [mature] as "Dirty Vibration." The first 6 here aren't the official, but the rest are. First chapters are free on Tapas anyway. Refer to the official posts for the respective bookmarks.

Summary: "Lee Robin and Nam Hangyul were childhood friends. They haven't seen each other since elementary school; but when they both get accepted to the same university, their mothers suggest they become roommates, offering a seemingly perfect solution. However, Hangyul, who discovered his true sexual orientation due to Robin's influence in their childhood, worries about potential awkwardness. To his surprise, when Hangyul opens up about being gay, Robin is unfazed. Determined to keep his feelings for Robin a secret, Hangyul establishes ground rules for their living arrangement. Unfortunately, Robin remains oblivious to the underlying emotions, unable to comprehend why his new roommate seems distant and guarded. Will this "abnormal" situation eventually blossom into something more beautiful?" Official on Lezhin, officials are here. Seems like it's based on a novel.
