On or Off
Status gap/boss x employee. Size difference. Top thought he was straight. Cold top has his heart melted. The interpersonal relationship starts rough with a misunderstanding, but it's quickly corrected and the rest of the story they have a good report. They're a very healthy couple once they get together; incredibly sweet and loving. Unique art style for Korean comics but not bad. American-style comic shading/micropoint, and muted colors, but the art style fits (especially with the ML). This top is pro at hot one-liners. Like wow. Official release on Tappytoon [mature], officials are posted here (but some are a bit blurry), I've purchased it all on Tappytoon. This story strongly deserves some side stories.

Kiss Me, Liar - Special Episodes
Side stories: Story 1: Ch. 1-4, Yeonwoo lied about having done bondage before and has to cover up the lie Story 2: Ch. 5-10, Keith picks on Yeonwoo as his boss, before the start of the main story. Story 3: Ch. 11-32, Yeonwoo loses his memories. Read the [Seira & Sho/ss.fujoshi] translations, they're significantly better than the other set of translations here. There's a second side story that has no manhwa equivalent, it's Chase Miller X Josh (note to self: haven't read yet). First half of it is free, and it seems like it's an official translation. https://wordexcerpt.com/series/kiss-me-if-you-can/ Intimate scene starts: 1, 4, 30 1st: 8/2/22, 2nd: 10/10/22, 3rd: 3/7/23, 4th: 5/25/23, 5th: 10/4/23

Butler
[Complete] Boss x employee, alpha x beta-> alpha x omega, unrequited love. Top is a little slow with his emotions but he got the spirit. Summary from Inkr: Season 1- (complete) "Seo Yian is a beta butler servicing the handsome alpha CEO, Yoo Jekwon, who he is in love with. However, Mr. Yoo has an omega lover, forcing Yian to restrain his feelings of yearning and desire. But once Mr. Yoo and Yian find out the omega's infidelity, Yian started to make his move." Season 2- "Seo Yian has recently turned into an omega due to contiguous flings with CEO Yoo Jekwon. Though not a beta anymore, Yian still wants to be a butler, so he must keep his omega status a secret. As Mr. Yoo helps Yian with hospital visits and stabilizing his pheromones, warm feelings take place." Official mature release on Inkr. Official chapters are on here from chapter 3 onwards. First two chapters are free on Inkr. I've bought the whole series there, each season is posted separately.

Love Shuttle
Top pursues. Enemies to lovers. Says complete, and does on Lezhin too... but even if it's ending on a side story, it seems abrupt?? Great story, just confused why it felt like there was going to be another chapter. EDIT: after a long hiatus we got new side stories, IT'S BACK BABY, but why the hell was it marked as complete Official release on Lezhin [mature]. Higher quality uploads after chapter 25. Officials are here. The season 2 author's note (61.5) doesn't have an official English translation. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/oqf3m04/love-shuttl Bato officials: https://bato.to/title/74300-love-shuttle Characters: Bottom: Lee Doyun Top: Jung Taehan _ Side couple: Bottom: Lee Dojun (MC's older brother) Top: Kim Jinyoung (MC's doctor) The side couple ends well, but it's an incredibly toxic story line. May want to skip their stories before the end of the main storyline, or just all of them on rereads. Intimacy starts: 4, 6, 10, 18, 29, 33, 42, 44, 48, 57, 60, 67, 73, 77 1st: 7/9/22, 2nd: 11/16/22, 3rd: 2/11/23, 4th: 2/11/24
The Origin of Species
Crime boss top, dominant top, size gap, pseudo fated pair, character growth. Both alphas as well as omegas are physically strong in this universe. There was a strong tone shift starting around chapter 60 that made it feel like a completely different genre, not really a fan of the transition. Art style that I had gotten used to also subtly changed in a way I didn't like. Season 3 is basically just a side story instead of main story, it would have been best to divide it like that so people didn't expect to see plot that wasn't going to come. Official release on Tappytoon [mature]. Chapters 0-2 are free there and chapter 1 on here is janky, so read it there. End of chapter 47 is cut off here (I bought it on the official platform). Official chapters are posted here. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/8b9ua3n/the-origin-of-species Bato: https://mto.to/series/95466 Lots feels more complicated to understand than it needs to because this is based on a novel that truncated important parts too much when made into the manhwa. No official translation of the novel that I know of. Understanding chapter 16* is pretty important for understanding several plot points, a comment on Bato explains it fairly well but the whole chapter has a lot going on that's not directly said. Other plot relevancy that seems critical to understand: 39, 41, 42*, 46, 50 (helps explain 42 a TON) * Particularly complex Helpful notes: - Seoran, led by executive director Kwon, is a black market company. SH, led by president Seo, is a logistics/information broker company that helps black market companies like Seoran. MC originally works for a separate, competing company to SH. - ML and Kwon Shinwoo look incredibly alike. You can tell the difference in that ML has upturned eyes and KS has downturned ones. Intimate scene starts: 7, 12, 14, 18, 21, 26, 36, 59, 62, 78 1st: 7/30/22, 2nd: 11/17/22, 3rd: 1/5/23, 4th: 3/21/23 (through season 2), 5th: 1/17/24
Shounen No Kyoukai
Omegaverse fighting against fated mates. Childhood friends. Reading this is emotionally draining. Title translation: "Boy's Boundaries" Not licensed in English. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=136690 7/1/22 (I haven't read this twice I just made a bookmark and added it to a list)
Who's Your Daddy?
Mpreg but not Omegaverse. Top pursues. Status gap/royalty x knight. Dub-con AS FUCK, and the only thing that is used to explain how it's not straight up worse is "well he could have pushed him away if he really wanted to." I'll suspend disbelief because it's fiction, but damn. As fiction, it was worth the read and interesting. Two sets of translations, read the last set for the officials. Official release on Lezhin [mature]. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/o4v4vc1/who-s-your-daddy 1st: 11/18/22, 2nd: 2/24/23, 3rd: 11/19/24
