Asterism
Growing up, trying to find out who we are while trying to live up to everyone's expectations, getting lost in the way and losing everyone, hurting every step of the way, slowly coming back on track only to realize it's all about growing up. I loved this story and will for sure reread it a lot in the future.... but first, I need to find a comfort story to pair with it, because my heart can only take so much!Seen this multiple times, avoided it because I thought its another 'Cliché story' but man I was so wrong. The story is so deep and I don't know how to start. I don't know but for my perspective everything is so clear, so real and so fucking sad. Everything to bullying, gender discrimination, abusive parents both mentally and physically, peer pressure, assault, SA, Self harm and pressuring yourself. It was portrayed good even though some may find it annoying or irritated to read but it's the reality some of us face. It's so sad to see, reminding us that what you see, everywhere you go and interact with will carry this kind of scar. That ending was a roller-coaster tbh. Like the ending is not something I could understand without reading it twice or analyze it thoroughly, but one thing is for sure, we know what kind of ending it will have. Even if some readers will want them to stay lovers, friends or strangers... After all of this, I think they deserve a time to love and forgive themselves. And after that then maybe give each other a chance again whether it may be friends or lovers. They deserve this much rest after going through all of that. A sad story with a happy ending is something deserving for them. Heyyy Just to remind everyone that we are human, we make mistakes, regrets, times we want to go back but remember we are still learning, we are still growing, we are aging and it can be a stepping stone to learn, to accept and to apologize. Learning has no limits and age will never be a hindrance. It will take years but what matters is you've made it. Don't forget to celebrate and appreciate, let it be your motivation. And in the end of that day even if you still find hard to cope, its okay! Its not my decision to change your mind or someone else's, its you who have the authority. I just hoped that it is what you truly want, not for others but for yourself. Give yourself a good pat in the back and good luck. P.s This is so not like me. But made me emotional and cried for two hours straight. Its a good story. Would 100% recommendthis manhua is the true definition of under appreciated!! its the most genuine and captivating story i have been blessed to read. heartbreakingly realistic queer themes and characters that rip your heart out. beautiful art that is so intricate that it conveys the solace hao feels and the yearning between him and weiyu. when there is dialogue its so profound and believable for the character’s situations. this author is a gem i have never seen someone be so delicate but accurate when handling internalised homophobia themes also you can really feel the love they have for their work. i really do not understand why this work hasnt received its flowers this should be receiving so much love praise and much more.

Haru No Noroi
Ngl the part where the younger sister admitted to wanting the guy to be happy over her sister broke me all them years of your big sis taking care of you and showing you open affection, planning her whole life around you, all for you to do her like that for a man that don’t actually like you? man
Tiger and Tiger Gourd
This was soooo good! I wish there was a bit more like side stories (them living together) cuz I wanted to see more of the tattoo! (^_~)Where does the “Adult” tag even come from I was expecting smexy scenes because of it but they only kissed like twice and not much else happened and their story was so short

Boy Meets Maria
That dad may or may not have been a cheater, but when he was needed by someone, even if it wasnt his family. He came through to help. At first i thought he was just such a shitty person but the fact that he was able to help arima and stay with him to calm him down really showed a better picture of the dad. This story and the way it was portrayed was honestly a little heartbreaking for me atleast. Stuck between two genders and not knowing how to escape out of it was really something. Rest in peace, Peyo you created an amazing story.I’d like to think his dad was never a cheater. Taiga’s memories as a child are not very accurate. Taiga thought the dad bought flowers for someone else even when visiting his mum in the hospital only because as a young kid he mostly remembers the parents fighting. But in Arima’s memories the dad says he specifically bought the flowers for his wife as an apology and way to reconcile but as we know that day the wife died and dad wasn’t around because he saved Arima and waited for the police with him.I legit bawled my eyeballs.. LOVE this with my whole hearttttt!!
Bastard (hwang Youngchan)
Jin's dad is a terrible person. This story is told from the perspecetive of Jin for most of the time so yes, it is warped, but Jin's dad doesn't deserve any pity. He knows it's wrong and he understands why it's wrong, he just does it because to him he wants to "eat better" and "sleep better". There's nothing to feel about for him. Just die or rot in prison. He's killed maybe a dozen people who probably have fully functioning and happy families. He's ruined those families. He doesn't just kill them, he desecrates their bodies and tortures them. So what he loves his son? What, if I have kids and I love them you all will forgive me if I kill dozens of people because I'm 'mad'? If I look sad and have a broken family you'll feel bad for me? The son brainwashing himself is normal. He knows his father is a terrible person, is scared he'll kill him so when he has a head accident he remembers everything as his dad doing it because he doesn't remember anything else. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ the hell... anyway this was really good... (๑•ㅂ•)و✧idk how else to say it, but it's good (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
