Glitter's manga / #unrequited love(74)

Bottom is naive to extremes, top doesn't craft the most convincing of lies but he does do it with a pretty face. Officials on Lezhin, officials are here. 1/13/24 (1st 8)

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)

Not licensed in English. Skip to the last 1/4 of chapter 1 to avoid the confession part, although it's not as cringe as I expected. The reveal is in the last 1/4 of chapter 4.

Summary: "Jeong-yoon has harbored a crush on Chae-heon all through high school and now college. Despite ‘fate’ always bringing them together, Jeong-yoon hasn’t been able to become close to Chae-heon, much less tell the latter about his feelings. This is mainly because he is convinced that Chae-heon doesn’t like him. But unbeknownst to Jeong-yoon, Chae-heon is not without his own complaints. Will the two resolve ever their misunderstandings and will love, which has been put on hold for so long, finally begin?" Official on Lezhin, "Love on Hold."
