ArtemisFowl's manga / #healthy(8)

Two film nerds in the same high school club fall for each other after fighting for a year. Funny, realistic, full of good humor, this manga is exactly the pick-me-up you need when you want to fall into something that doesn't tout itself as "true romance" or sap. The story of two boys figuring themselves out and figuring each other out before falling in love. ~ Chapter 7

Super cute! ~Chapter 1

Wow! I was not expecting the level of communication here. Way to go for a couple that can actually deal with its problems by having a normal conversation with each other. I also disagree with one of the commenters; I actually think that the pacing is spot on. The time they pass with each other and the development of their relationship is enough for both of them to warrant a confession from each other. ~ Chapter 7

A cameraman at a wedding crashes into (literally) a guy with a cute smile and a cold presence. Next thing you know, he's asking the random stranger if he can take his picture, to which the guy surprisingly agrees. As they get to know each other more, they hang outside of strictly 'taking pictures' and end up with the tiny beginnings of a budding romance. ~ Chapter 5

It was very “lust at first sight”, with a sort of immediate attraction towards the other for both characters. I actually really liked it though. It had none of the cheese that I’m used to with instant attraction. The tension felt real (despite the fantasy-like element of jumping into bed so quickly. But hey, who knows? Maybe it’s not as unrealistic as people would think ;P) Edit (after I read the whole thing): Very cute! I loved the amount respect and patience they had for each other. There weren’t any silly miscommunications; Wujin and Jin were willing to wait for each other and truly listen to the other person. For instance, when Jin finds out about Wujin’s past, he doesn’t jump to conclusions. Instead, he is open to listening to Wujin’s side of the story without having already made up his mind from the information he heard from his friend. It could have easily turned into a drama fest with a less skilled author. I might add that this manga, unlike many other mangas I’ve read, portrays a truly healthy relationship. The healthiness of their relationship has nothing to do their lack of fighting, so much as their willingness to listen to, respect, and be patient with the other person, while growing because of their interactions with the other person. They were both willing to lean on each other and have the other person lean on them without the relationship turning co-dependent.

Two actors become lovers after reuniting as leads of a drama. ~ Chapter bonus

A salaryman working at a nightclub/bar gets found out by a co-worker that he's gay. Perhaps this can lead to the start of something more... ~ Chapter 1

Two people fall for each other unexpectedly...or was it unexpected? This was a very cute manga with heavy themes circling in the background. The MCs both have tragic pasts with loss and find each other at a vulnerable period within each others' lives. As the story continues you see them connecting with each other and noticing how their past seems to continuously intertwine, like two magnets drawn to each other. One of the MCs goes out of his way to find the other, and it's the start of their beautiful love story. ~ Chapter side.end
