Oshi no Ko
The plot is so interesting, following the reincarnation of an idol's fans that had died and became her children in their next lives. Its follows the revenge plot of Aqua who was murdered by a stalker fan who also killed his mother. It also gives great insight to how harsh the world of being an idol is... I came across the manga after Moonbin's death on the 19th of April 2023, so this hit deep. How fans love to think they know an idol, but they don't know that an idol that they claim is "real" and "authentic" is still lying and hiding something... Moonbin who is seemingly lively, happy and always smiling and comforting, took his own life. We don't know what hardships an idol is going through, yet we pretend to know. We hate on an idol for showing even a little bit of vulnerability and shut them down. But when they're gone, they feign consideration and care... Its so easy for people to say it must be easy being an idol, but they want to drown in their own self pity and invalidate other people's struggles. There's so much to being an idol. The more years go by, the standards get higher and more grueling.
Please Don’t Come To The Villainess’ Stationery Store!
It's perfect!! I love this manhua so much. The revenge plot, the schemingness of the female lead and the endless supply of handsome men. It's perfect. Tho I wonder who Melanique will end up with... probably Issac considering they clearly like one another. But what about my boy Dominic
Love History Caused by Willful Negligence
Left off at chapter 91 Lee Wooyeon is so conniving and always ahead of the game. His sadistic tendencies are actually horrifying, because he genuinely seems cold to the world and will day anything when challenged, and is not afraid of doing so. So Choi Inseop being so unprepared and naive is such a weird combination. He likes to pretend he's smart with so much up his sleeve, but once he is interrogated even the slightest, he let's it out like a waterfall.... like it was getting so good until they cut off the drama and suspense, and now he's just seemingly going to go back to his norm?? Part of me wanted to see how it goes if it went through and he managed to escape to America, so Wooyeon would track him down or something and interrogate him about their past or something. But this is just becoming a killing stalking situation and the stalker ends up being kidnapped and held by the psycho murderer...
Our Sunny Days
Yooo the (I think) uke is soooo hot. He's so wholesome and truly a concerned military dad who looks rough on the outside but has the heart of gold. Literally what I like.... The seme is also really funny and secretly kind. Eventhough he pretends to not be nice, he cares a lot about the people in his town, knows them all and pays attention to detail. He may seem hot headed and arrogant, but he's secretly really caring. THEYRE SO WHOLESOME but boy, author... if you play with my heart and do a switcheroo from this wholesome manhua to that of a kidnapping murder mystery, I will riot, throw up, cry and shit myself.... I'm literally so scared that creepy person is a kidnapper and killed Yeonjoo. HOPEFULLY THATS NOT IT. And I hope that's just his long lost dad who's watching him from afar or something.
Comes In Threes
(Chapter 40) I'm constantly anxious. Everyone in this manhua is so sussy... like Joon is not catching a break. First it's the terrorizing friend, who ig turned out to not be that terrorizing? But he still seems like he's got it out for Joon despite preaching that he likes Joon so much (Ah-in). But then clearly Jong-Oh also has some issues. He's probably stringing along Joon because Ah-in loves him (probably) that he wants to get revenge or something. He clearly doesn't actually like Joon like that... But Chan..... the brother is so possessive and clearly has some type of incestuous feelings towards Joon. But goddamn he's fucking hot..... RUFF RUFF complex situation. Clearly they all just need therapy. Idk what's so good about Jong-Oh tbh. He's just mid. But Ah-in is so sadistic and weird that he's borderline psychopathic and lacks empathy. Chan is just incestuous like idk who is worse
Perfect Body
When I read this, I was not expecting it to take such a dark turn later. But I'm glad it all worked out for the best for Shiwon and Soyoung. I wish they would expand more on Eun Kang's character. Seeing as how he could tell that Shiwon was at a gaybar simply by a photo, clearly he frequents it too. But they kinda bypassed that. But he seems really sweet and I get this feeling that he has a crush on Shinae. So that would be interesting to expand on
Cheonma Virginity
I guess this is the official translations?? I didn't expect it to be the same author as turn off the cameras lol. No wonder the characters look so hot
A Fortune-Telling Princess
Characters: Camilla Lila Duke Sephrol Ludville Ravi Arsian Redhead nobody cares about I'm really enjoying the story. They sometimes skip over details or just add random stuff for the moment then forget about it later, but it's genuinely a really good story. I really love Camilla as a heroine because she's not naive. She was a working woman in the acting industry who worked her way up top and endured the hatred in the industry. I think it's nice that she uses her skills from her other life to survive in this world. She's very competent and doesn't like to think she's helping people, but she's very understanding of others. I'm really happy that she's befriended Lila, who is supposed to be the actual heroine, instead of it being a story about them going at eachothers throats. Obviously I like Ludville and Ravi. They're great brothers who don't want to make it obvious that they want to be doted on by Camilla, they're both not very open people in different senses, but they care for Camilla as her brothers. Ravi is someone who constantly has low self esteem, so Camilla always looking out for him just so he doesn't spiral, is so sweet. The most recent incident where he spiraled was after the hunting competition where he wanted to heal Camilla who was hurt, but got pushed away by Arsian, claiming he will heal her quicker and better (obviously he's just in love and wanted to tend to her faster) but Ravi took it as a claim that he's useless and won't be able to save Camilla in time. Camilla doesn't know this detail, but she later tries to calm him by saying he's helped and saved her plenty, and that he's more than capable. That was the only thing that made him stop hauling himself indoors. But that's very wholesome... I like Arsian, who seemed like a real tease and aloof, but secretly likes Camilla a lot. He's always protective of her, but they can act casual around one another. I suppose he will be end-game, which is good (I don't assume she'll and up with Ludville.... cus that would be messy....). And nobody cared for that Redhead from house Javelin. He wants to pretend he's very important, but he's always on the sidelines... he wants to pretend he's still Camilla's interest, and now sorts for her attention because now she isn't giving him any, which is low af. I'm glad Camilla isn't giving him the time of day. His ego is even higher than the two guys who should have the highest ego (Ludville and Arsian), when he's literally so insignificant. THIS IS WHY I DONT LIKE OVERLY NICE GUYS IN MANHUA, CUS THERES ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM. It's like professor Xavi all over again. Overly nice guys stink. But anyways, a lovely story. Truly a good read. It's a shame that the translating team changed, but it's still very enjoyable.
