joy's manga / #BL(119)

Personally, the green hair and black hair should’ve gotten together. Nothing against MC’s friend but I don’t think green hair liked him at all before the confession and he still clearly liked the black hair for a long time so idk why the change of heart so quickly. Nothing wrong with the story, nothing revolutionary either. Sometimes a chill no stakes story is what you need.

I liked the dynamic between the ML and MC. It’s always nice when we see a rational MC—he’s like the one from dragon rains. The concept is super good and I wish they expanded more on it but for what it is it’s pretty good and I would reread bc I like the characters. There’s sm good lore but they just gloss over it. For the pink hair one, he was using his powers perfectly fine before so idk why they randomly brought up the hydrophobia. ALSO WHEN THEY DRESS UP FOR EVENTS AND THE ML AND MC ARE WEARING MATCHING OUTFITS????

When the ML is a green flag… LIKE HES SO SWEET!! And the MC opening up to him KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM DEATH MURDER PLS (31). YES BEST ML I LOVE YOU OMG. THANK YOUUU. AAA PROTECT YOUR MAN AND MUDDER RHAT BITCH (32). Oh no! Not the consequences to your own actions!! WOMP to the fucking WOMP bitch (35). HELP the MC really be like “you’re not yourself when you’re hungry, have a snickers!” (42).

“No. Wait. I’m gay?” (52) This one is quite fun but it’s a manhua and for some real the ppl who translate manhuas translate them rlly weirdly but it’s readable. Not much plot but it’s fun! Like becoming a ship of you and your costar then actually dating them is so silly.

Honestly rlly fricking good but a LOT OF SMUT. Like SO MUCH OF IT. Every single chapter at the end theyre just going at it. But yeah. Love Mason so much. He deserves the world. The ML is a bit crazy but yk. There’s also a MASSIVE age gap between the two so idk how I feel about that… but hey! I thought they gave us more backstory abt the characters but they rlly don’t like I would like to know more abt Mason’s past but we only get a small glimpse and most of that is with Noah in it so. Anyways! If you want a lot of smut and a bit of plot! Hopefully Mason can open his coffee shop…

Purple hair girl with the tiny ponytail is my favorite character️ I’ve seen her for two scenes and she’s the loml. Bro the dead person who reincarnated into a new body and falls in love with the one grieving their death gets me everytime.

I thought this would be so much darker than it turned out to be. Still with heavy topics but no one died thankfully! I love hyung and I completely ship him with that redhead guy idk if that’s gonna end up becoming anything but it’s great. YES ITS REAL. “I guess you’ve always stood out to me…” I LOVE REDHEAD SO MYCH. ML is silly too love him. MC is great too, and they’re very fluffy and sweet. ML’s sister is a slay. The only thing is that this ducking thing isn’t loading and I’m gonna kms. Okay that was rlly cute and a slay but I’m so mad. EVERY SINGLE TIME THE SIDE COUPLE IS THE BEST PART OF THE STORY AND THEY NEVER HAVE ENOUGH STORY WITH THEM. Redhead is my favorite character and hyung is my second favorite and oh my god pls. Like falling asleep on call with him bc the sound of his breathing calmed you down is the cutest and sweetest thing ever. Like hyung never rlly had anyone to rely on and for redhead to come along and silently support him.. like you’ve always been drawn to him️️ redhead c’mon don’t cut him off… SIDE COUPLE TIME???!!! (83).

WAIT WHAT??? Wait wait wait wait so the ML’s ability was that he could only lie and steal the truth/lie ability of others and that’s why he was pursuing the MC so he could become a dare???? WHAT. SO HES BEEN LYING TO THE MC THIS WHOLE TIME??? All the “I love you” and “I will never leave you”. ALL LIES. He has NO ONE ELSE. “Why did you believe me?” IDK MAN. I knew smth was up when he kissed that Tan guy but shit… My heart is aching… even after the betrayal the MC is just like “I miss him.” (31). If he can indirectly tell the truth that mean that he wasn’t always lying to the MC??? Stoppp why are they so cruel he actually did like the MC but didn’t realize it til now (39). Caesar & team leader Chae are for sure in a relationship. I support (47). Stoppp that was so beautiful. He lied to him but it wasn’t just out of maliciousness or anything but rather he wanted to protect his family. MC wanted to protect the ML so badly that he exposed dares and they finally get to finish high school together. “Can I be a dare for a second?” It’s really quite a nice poetic story. I think what makes it rlly nice is how the MC feared what the public would think about dares but in reality although many are probably gonna call them liars, like his father, many others also understand they’re just people and with the new knowledge so many people finally get to see justice prevail. Ugh it was just such a nicely written piece. Like the betrayal but the love that’s still present in both of them. The journal???? I can’t. He loved him but knew what he was doing was wrong so he was going to play the villain and then kill himself after ending his abuser and sister’s stalker’s lives.

Aw that was actually so sweet. A bit predictable but sweet. Stella defo has a little crush on Milley I can feel it. Also people need to leave the MC alone my boy didn’t do shit… after I saw the ML’s family photo I knew they were all dead and he was probably suicidal, like I just knew it. Him finding a new reason for living is actually so sweet. It gets me everytime. Just a sweet little story, there’s definitely romance but they never kiss or anything they just hold hands.

I liked it but at the same time it was kinda flat. Like after the stalker arch it was rlly only about the three relationships (and only the first two were interesting tbh bc the other 3 members of Noble are not interesting enough for me to care about). And yet again this had the more interesting second relationship syndrome, bc I LOVE THE FRIENDS TO ENEMIES TO LOVERS TROUPE. Like Tarius was an ass but when he was interacting with L.B. I knew they had a thing for each other and it was so sweet.
