Fraiser's manga / #romance(55)

1971. Noooooo why does tragedy exist??? It seems to follow the trope of having one of the lovers die.

2020s? Due to a piece treaty, two countries formerly at war have an exchange program in which a member of the royal family visits each other's country. The princes get a bit too friendly. The mc must navigate this new country & new relationship! It has an interesting concept. All exposition is shallow however, needs more meat on them bones. Drawing style is neat, technical know how needs work. Visual storytelling needs work. Panels can be confusing because shots need to be pulled back in order for us to see more information, also better angles chosen as well.

2021. Average, kinda boring, slice of life story. Characters are votin boring, but the environmental & detail art is amazing!!! I really feel like I'm by the sea!

?? Single dad falls for the teacher at his son's nursery school. The dad is really fragile. There's not much to it. It's just meh.

This is a really nice comic! The main pair has an interesting premise. MC breaks up with his perfect boyfriend. After encountering his ex again, he discovers he's not so perfect! But rather, an insecure person filled with anxiety. Good concept that I HOPE will be touched on more. With a big topic like Anxiety, there's alot more potential to delve into. This is also one of those rare stories where I actually really like the second pair alot! An earnest, honest, hard working person influences a spoiled rich brat through the power of love Both the characters are so nice, personality wise. I especially love their designs. They look very practical, down to earth, & still distinct. In general, I love the humble art style. I LOVE the character designs. They seem more practical & inspired from real life beauty ( such as Suk-Yun's curly hair). Does not fall into the standardized yaoi look. I appreciate the realistic, & believable logic. I appreciate the no-nonsense, no bullshit common sense of the characters. (Characters have emotional intelligence & are not oblivious to someone's feelings. They speak up if they do not like something). Lastly, during sex, I appreciate how both characters share equal ground with each other. They communicate what they both want & listen. Very lovely story! 6/19/23: It's back!! There was a part I keep thinking about where the black haired seme was thinking about becoming evil & locking up carrot hair cuz he's so obsessed with him. Waahhh I fantasize about him becoming a little yandere or obsessive if only. I want to see more of him. 1st couple has taken a bit of a backseat to the second couple so, aww.

2021. Bit of a slow burn. Our mc is a grumpy office worker who HATES people. (So he's Squidward). After an incident at his previous department, he gets transferred to a new department. There he has to deal with his new happy bright boss. Do opposites really attract? (Yes, yes they do). They hate each other, but it's just sexual tension... Love how they portray office life. Each department is it's own little ecosystem. I feel the interpersonal drama & social conduct of office life feels accurate. It's a weird food chain in which those at the bottom are at the mercy of those at the top, and people are dehumanized as mere tools..

Slave boy gets bought by kind giant who lives up on mountain by himself. This is super sugary sweet & romantically indulgent but I am not complaining! I'm a sucker for romance! One complaint I do have is that I hope the mc starts actually DOING stuff. Like anything. I sympathize with the harsh life he has lived. I understand he is at a point where he feels beaten down. I empathize with the sadness & tiredness. But after a while there comes a point where I feel bad for the kind love interest because the mc is very jaded & mostly reacts to things, but doesn't GIVE or DO much back. It (mc) can become boring after a while. I hope we see more action & initiation. Other than that, amazing story with a realistic approach to history. Edit: nevermind. It's perfect. I gotta be more understanding. The mc was depressed. That's clear to me now. Update: 1/9/22 Waiting for season 3 !!! This is so interesting, I love this!! Season 3 started. Several chapters in. Look, in addition to Bongchun being my husband, I love the brother too, ok?! I've accepted I'm trash. 6/8/22: End of Season 3. Bad things are happening! Finally ended March 2023. One of my favorite reads. Thank you author & uploaded for letting me read!️

Complete. This started off really interesting but then the tone just fell off the wagon. At first, it felt really edgy & fucked up, but that gets pushed aside & everything becomes milder. The seme Maa- kun suddenly behaves better & develops a liking to the MC. BUT! There's no romance. It didn't feel fucked up or romantic or really lean too much into anything. It felt kinda mild. What bugs me is the seme being forward in the relationship but the MC being really lame & half baked about reciprocating even though he does hold affection. He's just too much of a damn weenie. It ends with him hiding Maa-kun from his mom & reluctantly having awkward sex. I feel this is why people felt incomplete after reading. Because the ending still felt one-sided. I mainly remember this because the seme is so sexy. I get Kaneda vibes.

Young man tries to learn to deal with his new partner's multiple personality disorder. Really interesting concept.

Cute & sincere mc likes scumbag friend.
