Anne's manga / #Beautiful Art(24)

Started: 15.05.2019 and I finished in 2020. Reread in one day: 19.06.2021. It was a 5/5, it stays a 5/5. I absolutely love this Webtoon. From the plot to the characters to the art, this is what I'd call perfection. There's backstory but not too much, there's some character development and feelings that don't ever feel too rushed. I love it so much I don't know where to start. The main characters clearly go through some drama but it's not too serious while also not being too lighthearted, I especially loved the Coming Out chapters. While many Webtoons have super deep backstories, they weren't so important here but I also love not seeing some rich families intervene all the time so that didn't matter at all. The sidestory about MD and Chanwoo was part of this manga but also a complete thing on its own, amazing! I really like the way they portrayed the bdsm scene, especially including one of them using their safeword was so strong in that scene. I wish Chanwoo would've had an even deeper conversation with MD about their feelings there but as it was, it was already great. Talking about the cuteness of this, there's surely more towards the end than at the beginning, I'd say starting from around chapter 70 or something. The main protagonists are not your typical "3 chapters and they're in love" type of guys, it's pretty unrequired at the beginning. What else is there to say? The art for the sex scenes was amazing, I have several bookmarks which I will put in the comment in my "hot" list but to name a few: Chapter 21, 33, 66,... and btw, some parts of this were colored! Though that didn't matter much to me personally, I really like the monochrome color scheme as it is.

From a 5/5 (2019) to a 3/5 (2021), I do think that the concept of such a school is interesting but overall the plot was too short. I would've loved to see more about the world setting, family situation, their pasts, their sex scenes and such. You could call this a long-ish Oneshot. What we see from the plot seems kind of rushed and it might be confusing, or maybe it's just me and my lack of sleep, I can't tell. Overall the art was and concept were nice though so this is a good 5.5/10.

4/5 -> 3/5! Though I must say that this is like a 6.6/10 so it's like.. a 3.3/5 lol First of all, the chapters are LONG, which is a good thing. The art is very beautiful and the smut also looks great. The reason I'm not rating this with 5 stars is that it's a lot at once with missing parts. In chapter one there's definitely a LOT happening already and if all of that happened more slowly with more plot in between I would've surely liked it more. It's not necessarily a bad thing that this story was moving fast but I would've loved to learn more about the characters themselves, especially the bodyguard and his life, which we eventually also don't learn much about, before being thrown into the story like that. In this case it feels like we haven't fully gotten to know their personalities though a lot of time is being covered in this manga. Another thing is that in e.g. just chapter one, when I hadn't even fully grasped their feelings towards each other yet, suddenly all those dramatic things happened including them literally catching bullets for each other already?? And the mafia got involved as well? So yeahhh that could've happened more slow paced and the chapters could've been divided a bit more but other than that? I was a bit confused sometimes and there are definitely plot holes but overall this was pretty good :) The art in general, the chapter length and how nice everyone's relationships were (Ignoring the mafia part they all had nice friendships and no dramatic fake friends or something) convinced me that this was a good read! And though the trauma of the Burlesque was also explained very short and sudden, the bodyguards' reaction was sweet so that was nice I think.. though that was SUDDEN sudden and could've also been more detailed but that's just personal preference again Tw if you're interested shooting / being shot, physical assault, mentions of being stabbed , gang rape WHY ARE MY COMMENTS SO LONG CURRENTLY

I just bought the third physical copy and I couldn't wait any longer to read it so I did it here first before I'll be rereading it in about a week when my manga shall arrive lmao I used to be really obsessed with this movie and reading this manga just made me go through it all again- I may rewatch that one too later today :) Overall, I recommend. This story is really good~ And if you want more perspective, there's also "Your Name Another Side Earthbound" ! Which has two volumes though I have yet to find the second one
