aranara's manga / #Beautiful Art(19)

i was squinting at this for a long time because i don't always like stalker plots. i really was angry at the characters in the beginning parts, didn't like the rape stuff(and honestly it's the only thing keeping me from being absolutely in love and obsessed with this), and the way rindo just lets anything happen and is still cool with people after, but this grew on me a lot, and i love them together. i love the way that amane's mental health is treated humanely(as a very mentally ill person myself) and that he's given them room to change as a person, and he actually does show character development. i'd recommend this a lot, just be wary of the dark undertones throughout

this sucked me in so hard, it's on chapter 40 when i started, and it's so heart wrenching. i feel like i'm on a rollercoaster, and i want to rip my heart out, i'm so emotional over them. it is so good, everything about this is so good. the only things i don't love are a few details about DID(dissociative identity disorder) but psychology is really complex so i can't hold it against the author lol. overall i just love this and am waiting clenching my fists for more.

i find the sex worker to lover trope a little annoying, but sometimes there's diamonds like this one in every trope. the art is so nice, the seme is so kind, gentle, RESPECTFUL, and skillful. the uke is adorable, and his insecurities are super relatable. i also really appreciate the fact they didn't vilify his ex, and that they worked out their past!! the expressions are also 10/10, the sex scenes are just absolutely phenomenal

this was such an emotional rollercoaster, and i went into it wholly expecting irredeemable, tragic ending, heartbreak, but i was floored by what we got instead. the story and characters were so well thought out and fleshed out, the character development throughout the story was so good, and i really love the way that the characters were different from their past lives, even though a lot of the things that happen and many of the personality traits are the same, they still are different people who lived different lives. the only things i didn't like about the story were 1) miscommunication/lack of communication, like especially when the poison stuff happens, the fact that the uke never tries to explain that he was controlled or like definitively say his true feelings/intentions. i just. AAAAAA it drives me insane, but it's a common trope so i can't fault the author. and 2) the way the seme is so abusive to his fucking son over the uke's attention, and how it's just not treated like an issue at all. very weird not a fan of that lol. but overall, i loved it so much

i can't even put into words how i feel about this manhwa. i adore it so much and i want to roll up in a blanket and live in a little mind palace with jeoh and seongrok i adore the story and the way that their characters are. they feel so real
