Sam's manga / #FAVOURITE(162)

READ ON BATO.TO FOR OFFICAL TRANSLATION BC THIS ONE SUCKS currently 6am, i started this at 3am and had to pause at chapter 4.5 since i'm working on a final project (OB) and all i can say is 2 songs: Strangers-- Ethel Cain "AM I MAKING YOU SIIIICK" & Not a lot just Forever-- Adrianne Lenker "I could be a good mother" thats it. lots of feelings. lots. even though the story could be better/ or maybe it needs a better translation but honestly i still like it def a hidden gem i like these types of stories, v underrated ones that ppl hardly know or talk about theyre usually japanese short manga too i love the overall feel of this manga where you can feel raw emotions, where you can feel desperation, and no smut, the smex scenes are limited and a bit subtle which makes you feel the desperation even more, it's more intimate like that in a way i cant rly explain it and v sensual 19/4/24 can i also say just: Ethel Cain. bc it's SO crazy how i came to read abt her on tiktok and listen to this song (Strangers: am i making you feel sick) and another song "no one was coming to save me so i just prayed" by her and i decided to read this at the same time it's so crazy to me how ironic they're all related the church aspect, the religious trauma, waiting to be saved, yearning to find home and finally finding it in another person only to be met with a gruesome end [18:31] ALSO THE WHOLE ALBUM IS CALLED PREACHER'S DAUGHTER!!! U SHOULD LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE THING NOW WHY AM I JUST FINDING THE OFFICIAL TRANSLATION (on bato.to) WHEN IM ALREADY AT CHAPTER 5 THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING 20/4/24 [03:22]

not my comment but saving for future purposes: This is so lovely and I love how everything is making sense! The plot, the pacing, the art, the EVERYTHING is perfect. You see, there are some artists that changes their mind about the story as it goes (I don't blame them bcs sometimes changes are good and necessary too) but this one felt like it's been planned for a long time. The plot is so well-executed and I love how everything is connected, from the current timeline and the backstory arc atm, it's so crazy to think that such small details connect pieces of information that may explain what's happening in the current timeline. This story is truly so lovely! 26/8/23 Mine: This is truly one of the best stories i have come across in a long time, if not the best. It's not just a typical cliche BL (if i don't sleep with u i'll die) but omg the PLOT??? THE RAW EMOTIONS??? WORLD BULDING???? 3 seasons very carefully planned with every little detail. foreshadowing from v early chapters only to be revealed at season 3. every little thing is explained and with detail. it doesnt leave you wondering, you realise that everything all comes down to fate at the end. no such thing as mere coincidence in this manhwa. i love this so much, so so much i'm crying. the characters are SO well-written omg and the dynamics between them. every single one. i haven't read a story that's managed to keep me so interested and so invested with ALL its characters. i love & enjoy them all equally, and i feel so emotional with them. i love how all the questions were answered at the end in season 3. how everything, all the pieces finally fell to place. i cant with this slowburn of a masterpiece. the story has actual depth actual plot i NEED more i wish i could read this again for the first time. the concept of past lives, how everything and everyone is and always has been connected from the very beginning. how fate is taking its turn. the concept of how everything has always been predestined so dwelling on what could've been will only make you and you alone suffer, is so prominent. i hate the memory loss though. that is one thing i cant stand. bc i simply couldnt bare it. one of my biggest fears: to forget and/ or be forgotten. which makes my heart ache for each one of them even more. i love the characters and their depth and eveyrhting about this really i love this so so much. (side note: listening to Grave Filled with Books- Giles Corey) [24/5/2024-18:20] It all comes back in full circle

this is so so soooo good. i dont think i'll find something like this again, it's so hard. it hit right where it hurt so good. THE PLOT THE MAIN LEAD (Lucas) MY GOSH i absolutely LOVE family-focused stories family, rejection, abandonment then redemption and reconciliation SUCKER FOR THIS TROPE PLUS SINGLE FATHER AND DAUGHTER OMG ITS SO GOOD made me cry a couple of times

Listened to If it's real, then I'll stay- Bonjr while reading this. this was so good sososoo good my favourite type of short manga it's so soft and it makes you feel so many things despite being simple and despite there being only minor conflicts but you can feel a lot of emotions regardless there is an actual STORY a PLOT a purpose not just mindless sex i love it when the sex is just an extra when you can feel their love for one another regardless when you can feel the intimacy through mere glances and soft touches with words carefully written with unsaid intentions i love it i love how soft it is i love their passion i wish i were like that too i envy them the sea a small town 2 little boys with big dreams aspirations being each other's sole comfort 10 years since childhood i love it it's, in a way, poetic
