Kiko's manga / #Beautiful Art(72)

This one snuck up on me! I started it because the setting was not Korea or Asia and I wanted to know how a New York mahnwa would fare! It's very good and gritty and raw - which surprising I like.

This is definitely in my top 5! It's the one that started it all and I love everything about it. I'm reading the official translation on Manta but need the adult version to feed my yaoi love (read obsession!) I would love to own physical copies if that can happen.

I started this one officially but ended it up here b/c I couldn't stand the deep & depraved ML. Once again ... onto the child, the sins of the father theme prevailed and it was soooo depressing and I couldn't see an end in sight! I finished it here to see how it would end. I'm glad that the ending was hopefully and bright but man what a slugfest! I probably wouldn't have paid for this, it was just SO dark for so many episodes.

Bought the first 11 chpts on Lezhin and plan to buy as they are released. I didn't think this would be my cup of tea ... but I'm *loving* it. It's all possessive alpha male stuff and gorgeous illustrations.

Slow burn to the end but worth it. Didn't love the ease with which non-consentual acts were repeatedly performed but did love the climax when the hidden back story unfolded. The 2 MLs were well thought out and despite their differences, ended up in an adult relationship. I respected both characters who stayed true to themselves.

Wow ... a slow burn but I absolutely *love* it! This long super well developed with back stories for the major characters and so beautifully told over a long time. Can't wait to see how it develops even more and then ends ...

3 chapters of boss/subordinate office relationship. Very short and straight to the point w/the subordinate able to read his boss' thoughts briefly!

Loved this one. Wasn't a huge fan of the questionable consent at the beginning, but the funny parts were great. The tone becomes much more serious in the middle and end when his life is at stake but I loved the unflinching love 2ML had for Mr. Kim. Plowed thru this one and wish I could buy it b/c middle chpts were a mess !

I really enjoyed this one a lot more than I expected. The college life/athlete life was great and the friendship between Ho-in and his school pal was great. It was a little heavy dramatic at the end with the breaking up of the casual lovers and the whole sunbae respect thing but I did love the romance between the 2 MLs. The side story scenes are insanely good, too. What a twist with the Dom/Sub vibe. I totally love the insane connection they have.

This one grew on me and I fell in love with it by the end! It builds up around 2 characters and their group of friends, who become so wonderful too! I shed several tears at the end just seeing them all so happy in their relationships and within themselves.
