LeiLei's manga / #Shounen Ai(53)

Spoilers : I thought the side story was a separate story but it’s actually their past lives They end up together in every life and they finally overcame their obstacles in the end. I’m so happy for them. I’m going to be honest, I thought this was so boring to read at first BUT I eventually got into it. I think it was boring because you really don’t know who these characters are and their background doesn’t come until a little later. I think I really started to like it around Ch 20 - Mara was becoming more conscious of Joel and Joel was realizing his feelings. As their relationship grows, you learn more about who these characters and a little bit about their friends as well. I am also really happy that Ian was not a second male lead - I feel like his curiosity stems from his mom and I also feel like he wanted to friends lol… Seeing him genuinely want to help our babies out made me much more interested in reading this AND I think he likes Shirley, hehehehe…. I really enjoyed this and hope other do as well!!

Spoilers : Honestly, I want to give it a one because this was the most toxic (actually second most toxic shit ever….killing stalking is still all the way up there) that I’ve read up to this day. I’ve read a whole lotta shit and this really takes the cake. I think the both of them are extremely toxic and definitely needed A LOT MORE TIME away from each other. They didn’t really start over and they never really improved themselves. BUT they are improving as they go WHICH I FEEL LIKE THAT IS THE WRONG THING TO DO. Yes, improvement can happen as you go but I think this couple needed adequate time apart to grow by themselves. Growing together may lead to them never being able to grow as an individual and only being able to do so as a couple. Also, what the fuck happened to Yoonjoo???? AND YEONJOO???? Our uke just has a whole bunch of sex with him and he never reappears??? Yeonjoo gets kicked out of seme's place and there’s nothing else about him???? Also, did everyone just let go of the seme posting their sex pictures????? Like wtf is all these missing details - obviously not everything can be addressed but my brain is having a hard time just accepting this lack of information. In the end, I’m giving this a 3/5 star because of two reasons… 1. I fucking cried like crazy when the seme came with the dying cactus…. I also cried a lot when the red hair dude said that he was just waiting for a clean break. He needed that apology and I’m glad he got it. 2. The uke's friends - love them!!! To anyone that wants to read this, just mentally prepare yourself FOR A WHOLE BUNCH OF BULLSHIT!!!! And maybe a lot of crying because this definitely hurt… P.S. - To anyone that encourages this relationship, BE SO FUCKING FOR REAL!!! Maybe this couple works but for most people, this isn’t the type of relationship you should have in your life… Update - I HAVE READ THIS TWICE NOW AND LET ME JUST SAY... My opinion has changed. I really really didn't like how it ended the first time I read it (I was too sad to think last time...) Anyways, reading this again made me realize that I actually liked the ending. I still think the both of them are toxic but I can see the impact of how much their childhoods affected them. I also see that they're both genuinely trying to be better for each other. The time skip shows them as a happy couple that argues and still works through it all. I do think that my original thought on how I wouldn't encourage this type of relationship is still true but I think for them, it works...

You know most age gaps disgust way too much for me to keep reading BUT honestly this was so fucking cute that I just kept reading. (I really think this couple is a switch couple because GODDAMN!!!)

Did I cry for endless nights after reading this and then tortured myself even further by watching edits of it on social media AND THEN looking up theories of Eiji's future without Ash..... yes, I did.

Ok, imma be honest. It lowkey got on my nerves for a couple chapters but then Ch 40 somehow became Ch 70 and then it became Ch 100…. Yeah, once you click, it’s hard to stop. Obviously, you might see some spoilers but I just wanna give my two cents. I am actually really fucking happy the Dad got a lover. I am happy about ALL the couples in this and I’m so glad how the kins are very straightforward people. Like these fucking people needed that. ALSO, I love my baby Minwoo and that domination chapter got me
