Happy Shitty Life

Ongoing | Harada | 2000 released

So... I absolutely loved the idea and the relationship between the 2 main characters it's funny, sweet, bizarre, and sexy, almost no complaints there, BUT I HATED Reo whole "thing": I didn't like the constant rape and the fact that it was made for laughs even though Kuzuya is clearly so afraid and traumatized from it. I get it, sex in this particular work is made for laughs no matter its context, but I still felt it unnecessary because the couple's dynamic was already so funny and bizarre. I never experienced sexual assault so usually, i don't mind seeing rape in Mangas I don't like it, I don't romanticize it, and I usually get bored from the manga because it is so unappealing to me and a cliche in the genre (yaoi) but the seen in the bathroom was almost triggering of how terrified Kuzuya seemed and might I remind you UNDERAGED. And yes, I am familiar with this author I know their style and that romantecized SA is a recurring theme but this was supposed to be a fluffy sweet funny manga, RAPE (let alone CHILD RAPE) doesn't fit in this kind of work. I know I wrote a lot and I may seem extremely over-sensitive but it is only because I like so many other themes in this manga; the relationship of the couple, the openness about sex and kinks, the art, the sex (I think it's beautifully drawn), the humor... it honestly saddens me that I CANNOT give this manga a better review.

A Master, Who Woke up as a Concubine

Ongoing | | 2022 released

IDK how I feel about the main character, yes she's funny but she feels kind of empty and shallow. Her story started with a bang and immediately turned into a historical-slice-of-life-(fantasy-ish)-comedy. Same thing about So-Yeo, (the original host of the body), why did she kill herself? Why is she ostracized by the others? Moreover, why aren't there any women with substance that their WHOLE storyline relates to a man, (for example, see Yeom Gwi-In). Another thing that bothered me is that the plot moves too-slow and too-fast AT THE SAME TIME, it's driving me nuts, how come we don't almost anything about her, (beside she's super quirky), and yet the ML is already head over heals! To sum up, not a perfect Manhwa for sure but a fun read.
