This is such an interesting story. It’s a mystery with so much sexual tension. I felt like it developed very naturally and realistically for two previously straight dudes. The storytelling and slow reveal of info was also excellent and I can’t wait to see the rest!

Wow I just love this, it’s so cute and sexy right off the bat. I love how into Taejun Hongyeon is and their first sex scene with exploring each others bodies is so sexy and perfect. The art and colors are so pretty and magical-feeling. It really gives the comic a surreal and pretty feeling despite being set in an office.

I picked it up on a whim but really enjoyed this one. A story about a boy who has been hurt and emotionally manipulated and suffered from homophobia and another boy who is a serial player but catches feelings for the first time. About putting yourself back together and learning to love after spiraling in self loathing and self destruction from past trauma. It’s honestly super interesting and well written. The conflicts, while frustrating in their lack of communication, feel authentic to people making assumptions about the other’s feelings based on their own prior baggage. I just want Su-Gyeom to love himself and let Do-Jun love him too. Overall I thought it was genuinely a pretty good story with interesting themes for how simple the plot was in the end. The mental blocks Su-Gyeom had to work through were honestly very realistic for a real person with insecurities and that always makes a story like this more interesting.

I’ve only seen excerpts and it already seems like a fucking bonkers story, even for one set in a fantastical and mystical universe. I suspect reading it while high might be entertaining. Just an experience, don’t worry about the plot too hard

Honestly I forgot how good this is. The storyline between the leads of one guy being just so against dating for his own mental blocks and immaturity is so funny and interesting that it really gets you hooked. One of the things I like is how egalitarian their dynamic feels despite being alpha and omega. Like they aren’t always falling into the male female gender roles that usually plague this genre for the most part.

The wolf is so manipulative yet also at times genuine which is so confusing and honestly really not what the fox needs in his life. The poor guy was taken away from his loving father by a horrible bitch of a mother who doesn’t care about him. He was neglected and bullied by his step brother growing up and his closest friend just tried to rape him, the poor guy just can’t get a break. I just want to see him happy and that’s all that’s keeping me reading this since the wolf guy has yet to convince me that he is a good person for Fox guy. I found the writing to be kind of confusing and hard to follow at times. Like there was a larger world and backstories that we didn’t see but the author had in mind when writing it. Particularly around Sirang’s family- there seemed to be some tension and history that would explain why he is the way he is. We got Kim Ho’s backstory but not Sirang’s, which was kinda weird. Overall though it was a very atmospheric and vibes based read from the color scheme to the perspectives. It felt underdeveloped at times and left me with things feeling unresolved (I think unintentionally). I did enjoy it but I’m not sure I’d reread it again. Very nice art though.

4.5 stars. This was super cute and adorable, I really enjoyed it. Just a guy who really loves his boyfriend’s band and music and another guy whose favorite actor turns out to be in love with him. I thought the conflict felt understandable in their situation while maintaining a lighthearted tone. I absolutely love that they didn’t drag it out because the story was short and sweet and perfect at that length. They nailed this one.
