Blue's manga / #Smut(18)

• 2 stars: Smut was unconsensual at times (even with the main couple). Too much drama for my liking and the sub is nearly insufferable. Weird sibling dynamics. ️: There’s a late bloomer, and then there’s a *late bloomer.* Doyun may be half Omega, but he certainly doesn’t look it: he’s tall, chiseled... But the worst of it all is that he’s a full-grown adult male who has yet to go into heat. He doesn’t see the problem, and everyone assumes he’s an Alpha, anyway. But when his body finally decides it’s “time,” it just happens to be at the most inopportune moment. He has no-one to turn to but his work rival, Taehan – but thankfully, Taehan is more than man enough to help him out.

• 5 stars: Very comedical and you can tell that the characters are meant to be together with how they're able to put up with each other's antics. Art style is absolutely gorgeous, probably one of–if not the best–I've come across. ️: “I’m dreaming of a soap opera like love." Wooshin Hyung replied with that line on the day Kijoong finally confessed to him. Kijoong initially thought that Hyung’s words had meant “be good to me”. But as time passed and he started to fully understand Hyung, he realized the true meaning: that Hyung wanted their relationship to literally be like a soap opera.

• 1 star: I don't know if there are errors because I only got 6 chapters in before tapping out. This is basically just a bunch of incredibly unnecessary and gruesome things all piled into one horrible mess. There are many ways to go about bringing up the topic of childhood trauma and it's affects without something like this. I get it's supposed to be fucked up, but I believe there is a limit and this is just not for me or anyone else even remotely sane. Wouldn't actually label it as BL as their "connection" is more of a trauma bond than anything, but it was difficult to tag this. ️: The story follows Bum, a young mentally ill man with a difficult past. After becoming infatuated with Oh Sangwoo, a peer from his time in the military who saved him from a rape attempt, he decides to enter Sangwoo's home while he is out of his house. Bum finds a tied up, bruised woman in Sangwoo's basement and before he is able to free her, he is discovered by Sangwoo, who is revealed to be a serial killer.

• 4 stars: Hye-sung is pretty annoying in the beginning, but it makes sense since he is immature and yet to even come to terms with his dynamic. Genuinely gave me so much second-hand embarrassment that I involuntarily chucked my phone. I love how Hye-sung and Dojin lightly bicker and their relationship is adorable once they're finally on the same page and have somewhat properly screwed on their heads. Thank you for maturing your parents Byul. ️: Hye-sung spent his entire life believing he was an Alpha, the jackpot of the genetic lottery. But his world is flipped upside down when he finds out he isn’t an Alpha, but a lowly Omega. This revelation is pushed to its limits when when he constantly crosses paths with Dojin, an Alpha who can’t stand Omegas. Take a step into the omegaverse and find out what it is that makes their pulses race and their bodies go wild.

• 3 stars: It's cute, but I can't shake how weird their relationship is considering they were not only raised as brothers, but Taesung's mother only started to see things different when she literally saw them making out (and was horrified). She raised them both together as her sons, which makes them brothers in my eyes. This is just so weird and was iffy to read. ️: From living under the same roof to then being classmates?! Ever since his parents passed away, Haebom has been living in Taesung’s house. And now, being a 12th grader, he enters the same class as Taesung, which makes the whole situation way more awkward. Living together 24/7, Taesung and Haebom's relationship is bound to change.

• _ stars: ️: All Isaac the beta wants is to live a normal life as a slightly unskilled florist and leave his turbulent past behind. That dream quickly goes out the window, however, when the infamous arms dealer Felix waltzes into his shop and takes a liking to him. It just so happens that Isaac's family needs protection from a mysterious enemy, and luckily, Felix is more than willing to provide it in return for Isaac's body. The more Felix falls for the reserved florist, the more he wants to unlock his many secrets. And as things heat up in the bedroom, Isaac finds it harder to resist the handsome alpha and his powerful pheromones. Meanwhile, the secret about their shared past hangs in the air like a ticking timebomb...

• 3 stars: Just a bunch of smut and feels incomplete because there wasn't (imo) actual closure. I thought Yesung (school nurse) was very pretty, though. ️: I was suddenly diagnosed as an Omega, but didn't take it seriously. But, what is this? Why did my 'thing' get smaller?! Is it a side effect of the prescription meds? The only person I can trust with this is the School Nurse.

• _ stars: ️: In Garin's hometown, the small island of Young-do, there exists a legend known to all who live there. Every person who leaves Young-do is cursed by the mountain god and will face all kinds of misfortune. “If… If… you've really cursed me… If you lift it… I’ll do anything!” “I’ll grant your wish, but in return…” “Give yourself to me and become my bride.”
