ArtemisFowl's manga / #had potential(40)

These two hate each other for valid reasons -- the black haired guy got the redhead a bad grade because the redhead didn't do his part of the project, and the redhead tried to work with the black haired guy on a side project afterwards without being rude to him, only for the black haired guy to talk smack as a 'precautionary measure.' Thus mutual hatred ensues. How they will ever get together in a realistic manner is a wonder to me. It's kind of going into 'stupid' territory at this point...but the end of the 9th chapter was pretty funny. Dat face though. ~ Chapter 10

A vampire and a werewolf sleep together in a town and world that holds vampire-werewolf relations and rivalries out in the open. When Chess sees #hotguy out at the werewolf moonparty (whatever that is, ha ha) sitting next to him and chatting with him, he becomes attracted. All of a sudden he falls into bed with this man named Raoul (or so he says). He wakes up the next day, leaves to do something (writing Raoul a note), and comes back to find the man gone from his house. A week later the man finds Chess, only for Chess to have realized since then that he, a werewolf, slept with a man named RAWIN, a vampire rival of his werewolf clan, who has come to take a liking to Chess. Chess tries to stay away from him but finds he can't. What will happen to the two of them? ~Chapter 8

Farm-boy Lee moved to Australia for a gap year from school, both in order to learn English and pay his parents and for his education. He's about to end a peaceful year peacefully as employee of the year when his supervisor tells him there's a party, where the donor of the farm he works at is hosting, along with the son. The day of the party the supervisor calls in sick, telling Lee he has to secure the funds for next year before the night's end and sends him on his way. The naive Lee tries to make his way towards the president of the farm, only to be pushed out by the crowd swarming around the president. He makes his way upstairs where the party venue is less crowded, to hear a noise coming into the hallway from a room along a corridor. He stops to look inside, seeing a very handsome man playing a beautiful song. Slightly drunk, he comes inside and they have an exchange, where the handsome piano player very quickly makes a move on Lee. They definitely have sex, as seen in the first part of the chapter, but what will become of them in this exchange? ~ Chapter 1

Leo has a lucky day before getting attacked and almost dying at a convenience store. Lucky (?) for him, he gets picked up by super hottie and popular actor Owen, who takes the poor dude back to his place. He wakes up, only to find that the actor is actually a vampire who he made an unwitting contract with. ~Chapter 3

Has some potential. Uke is kind of lame, but also has some interesting qualities. Seme is lame in a different way and definitely super likes the uke. Update: definitely now goes in the classic yaoi dynamic of ‘seme is a dick to the uke to his face, but “wuvs” him in reality and brags about uke to others’ and ‘uke claims to hate/have no interest in seme but clearly wants to be with him to the point of desperation.’ Saving grace: the action is hot.

Ha ha ha, another mask manga for the pandemic of the century (discounting the 1918 Spanish Influenza). This story has nothing to do with a pandemic though. Sayama, regular guy with a penchant for wearing a mask, ends up in the nurse's office after some douchebag (read: the main romantic lead) falls hard (literally, not figuratively) on Sayama and doesn't even apologize properly. Therein lies the set-up for the romance, and our mask-wearing hero is pursued. Update: Sadism, weird, creepy...Saikawa's got some issues... Update on update: Like, I understand why you've got the hots for him (bc he's a good kisser and smexy and whatever) but the feels? I don't get it brah... ~Chapter 7

A hot guy gets dumped while the person sitting next to him gets "dumped" by his boyfriend. Both have powerful urges to comfort the other person, and end up sleeping together. Little do they know that this one night stand will end up being something more long-lasting... Rape in chapter 3.

Seowoo is a once-up-and-coming fashion artist, who threw it all away because his style doesn't fit the current trends after a one-hit star-making debut. After several years in the fashion industry, Seowoo relies on a friend of his, the CEO of a modeling company, who decides to introduce him, as a last resort, to "a lunatic" model, someone who often pulls things and kind of gets away with them. Can they get along (in more ways than one)? ~Chapter 20

I'm glad I read it, but it was full of all the tropes, like sociopath manipulates his way into the mc's heart. ~Chapter 7.5
