Glitter's manga / #reencounter(60)

Reincarnation/body swap, re-encounter, top pursues, top cold to everyone else, status gap (sorta), possessive top, truck-kun Absolutely re-read material. I've purchased the whole official translation on Lezhin. Non-officials at the beginning here (but they're good translations), officials after chapter 36 1st: 6/12/22... 3rd(?): 10/3/22, 4th: 2/18/23, 5th: 8/18/23

[Complete] Summary from Renta: "All the women at Yuma Saki's office gossip about whether or not Yuma's got a "dynamic" - an attribute that gives him a need to control or be controlled. He's able to hide it well thanks to his suppressants, but circumstances force him to seek release with a partner. And so, Yuma is reunited with Mao, the first person who awakened him to the pleasure of pain. As soon as Mao kisses him, Yuma's knees buckle as memories of that first bite coming rushing back. He's never been commanded before...! A romance between a hot office worker and his old classmate who helped him discover who he really is!" Official on Renta, officials are here. 1st: 3/25/23, 2nd: 4/28/23, 3rd: 11/23/23

Pretenses, top pursues, re-encounter, obsessed/jealous top. Was absolutely losing interest in the second half of season 2 but season 3 got really interesting. Official on Lezhin [mature] and Manta. Same translator for both sites, but Manta is censored (but updated farther). Mature officials are here from chapter 9 onwards (the first 8 that say they're official AREN'T) excluding chapters 16-17. Officials are not as far as fan translations are. First 4 free on Lezhin. Translated farther on Manta and the translations here are confusing, so read there (although not mature version, the mature chapters can be read here instead. On Manta through the end of season 2 as of 4/26/23). Alignment: 88 mature = 79 censored EDIT: It looks like the first few chapters here were the original official translation before the translator changed, because the translation was shit. The updated translated chapters are on Bato and labeled as "improved TL" I've purchased on Lezhin: 1-9, 16-17, 38-47 Bato (Lezhin R19): https://bato.to/title/103234 Bato (Manta R15): https://bato.to/title/103981-4-week-lovers-manta-r15-official Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/b5zhbop/4-week-lovers MC confession: 46 1st: Summer(?)

Shonen-ai, not yaoi Top pursues, CEO top, soul mates, re-encounter, obsessed top, pretenses. It heads in a very toxic direction; everyone needs therapy, get yourselves together. Super toxic for quite awhile, but there's character growth from the top and he eventually tells the bottom everything. At the end, it feels like they'll have a good relationship. Soul mates that have a physical mark/side effects. Official on Tappytoon under "Tied to You." Officials are here. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/uel3zzy/tied-to-you 1st: 11/3/22, 2nd: 1/28/22 (Ch. 42?), 3rd: 9/9/23 (starting Ch 36, finished)

Official release on Inkr [mature] and Renta. Officials are here. 1st: 4/7/23, 2nd: 4/14/23

Childhood friends & re-encounter, possessive top. The last few chapters with the kids all grown up are really cute. There's a different translation on Tapas vs. Lezhin. Both are good but Lezhin's feels a bit more natural and keeps honorifics. Series is complete. Side stories (S1): 1-6: Matthew and Hayoung, early childcare 7-11: Jaeho and Ian, overlapping heat and rut, pregnancy test, parental marriage approval 12-16: Jiwhan and Miho, relationship troubles about not having sex yet 17-19: Ju Ian and Ro Jaeho's twins pregnancy 20-29: The kids being raised together when they're young Officials on Tapas. Officials on here from chapter 24 onwards. I bought all episodes on Tapas [mature]. Series removed from Tapas as of 1/31/23 Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=151086 Bato: (Tapas) https://bato.to/title/81246-heat-and-run Bato: (Lezhin) https://bato.to/title/130491-heat-and-run-lezhin First intimacy: 13 1st: 7/12/22, 2nd: 11/29/22, 3rd: 1/29/23, 4th: 1/23/25

There's non-con but non-violent. This is just pure Stockholm Syndrome. Dropped at chapter 8, surprised I made it that far. Official on Renta. Officials are here. 4/15/23

Boss x employee, secret identity/double life. Was okay, but has lots of hangups. The feelings at the end escalate too quick for how long a story this is, solutions at the end don't have enough foreshadowing to make them feel believable, and the last few chapters even have lots of translation errors (speech on the wrong bubbles). Story could have been handled better in general. Official on WebComics, officials are here. 4/20/23

Isekai/reincarnation. Really cringe around chapters 60-70ish, feels like they were just trying to skip a bunch of scenes and the novel might have been more thorough to where it wouldn't have felt that way. Official on Bilibili, "Knock It Off, Your Majesty!" I've bought it there. Officials are here. 1-26 seem like the officials in their first posting, it's just that the title section has changed in appearance over time from these originals. It seems some chapters have also been re-translated officially (second set of postings), but the first ones here have translator notes that explain Chinese context (the ones on Bilibili currently don't). Official translating team changed from chapter 55 onwards (also when the name change happened). 1st: 9/30/22, 2nd: 10/19/22, 3rd: 4/21/23, 4th: 8/26/23

Shonen ai, not yaoi. Side stories are yaoi. Extremely toxic relationship for the longest time. Bottom is a heartbreaker, top is way obsessed and possessive, crime family, top becomes a bottom. I think a bit of a longer end could have done this more justice to show they ended up well and not so toxic, but the ending here still works. Official on NetComics, officials are here. Read some of this a long time ago, probably early summer 2022, but dropped it pretty early. For some reason, even though so much fucked up shit happens, it's still captivating to read. There are several side stories each posted separately, but the official webtoon version is all on one post: https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/totally_captivated_side_stories_webtoon_edition/uu/ibx_chapter-22/pg-1/ Separate postings, with not official translations: 1. "Mr. Sangul's Diary" and "Diary of Mookyul" https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/totally_captivated_dj_mr_sangchuls_diary/ 2.
