good dog's manga / #comedy(1)

i initially started this because i loved the art style and it was short, thinking i'd just give it a shot and probably drop it after a few chapters. i ended up reading the whole thing all at once and then going back and re-reading various scenes after i'd finished. the characters are so charming and the writing is clever and really funny. gyerin and juyeon's sub/dom dynamic really entertaining to watch develop and i love the contrast between how they are during scenes vs the non-bdsm aspects of their relationship. i also love how the setting changes when they're immersed in their roleplaying. i thought that was a really fun way to illustrate how in-character these dorks get for nobody but themselves. just as a heads up, because of the subject matter there is some content that could be bothersome to some readers. it's a very lighthearted story and the actual relationship itself is adorable and surprisingly wholesome, but consensual non-consent features pretty prominently in their bdsm roleplay so if that's something you would find triggering i'd sit this one out also you don't need to be a reader of the main comic to understand this one. you honestly don't even need to read the chapters that gyerin was in prior to getting her own side story. i did, because i thought it would provide important context, and if you're dying for more gyerin content after you finish this it's a somewhat worthwhile read (although i found the dom she was with in the main comic sort of bland and cold especially in comparison to juyeon, and ive heard that the major relationships in the main series are incredibly toxic so my advice is just stick with this one) ps the translation is real shoddy on a couple of these chapters but most of them are fine
