It is 1866, the third year of King Gojong’s reign. It is also the second year Gyeom has been waiting for his lover, Jung, who left to learn and study about literature by himself. Finally, Jeong has come back after the two years. He tells Gyeom he can not afford to be happy in Joseon, and decides to leave for Qing (China)... Very cute by the beginning. Sad ending but it was a Hella good one. This made me cry and I love it when manga makes me cry like a baby

England suddenly wakes up blind, in a dark world where he?s apparently not alone. America?s feelings for England intensify when he sees him so fragile and fights his own helplessness to do something about it. Pairing: America x England Really ended up liking it. KINDA fucked up but good writing. Although I do admit it was hella confusing

Beyond the borders of the kingdom of Yarke, is the blighted land of Uren. Peasants and nobility listen with open ears as travelers recount tales of witchcraft under the moonlight. As tensions mount, the third prince of Yarke travels outside of his kingdom under a full moon only to encounter a beautiful woman. While the prince is charmed by her graceful appearance, she isn't all that he seems. DROPPED Not my favorite of the batch that I read. I did not like the protagonists but that doesn't mean they weren't well-written. I like the second couple, but at the same time I feel as though this one follows two very toxic relationships that I do not considered fun. I did not actually finish this one, I just read the ending while I was at the middle of it cause I was sick of the drama.

Deep in the mountains is a village that offers prayers to the mythical Asura/Sura in order to stay protected. Doctor ‘Cho-ah’ who lives in the doctor’s town ends up saving a mysterious man named ‘Mujin’. This encounter marks the end of Cho-ah's peaceful days as he gets caught up in a whirlwind of events.- Okay...WTF just happened?? like the art is pretty amazing and all but that was....idk?? I like the story and all its horror and stuff. I just couldn't really like the characters. I mean I liked them in a sort of thinking they are interesting stand points, but I found myself stuck with the thought that it was not really love. Uke is very naïve and seme was very obsessive. Spoiler I read the Raws and well it just gets worse from there. The uke gets raped by this one dude and I think he falls in love with another dude. Like the uke cheats a lot but then I realize that most of it isn’t his fault or like the uke is not really smart but he is placed in terrible circumstances, so don’t care about the characters and just watch it for the drama. That’s literally how I see it. The seme and uke don’t love each other, and both aren’t really good people, but the prince dude is cool so I was fine with him. (You gotta remember the seme had also raped the uke and killed thousands of people for the uke and when he becomes very angry.) Mujin also has a sad story but I realize he is definitely I terrible person.

The handsome and strapping Prince Rix Vanus has returned to his homeland after winning a brutal war against demons! And yet... cursed by a vicious demon, the warrior prince is tormented nightly with shameful, lust-filled hallucinations as the demon takes the lascivious form of all his associates. Escaping to the wild, miraculously, a benevolent divine spirit named Nuah joins the prince, seeking to break the curse and ease his suffering. And now, his nights — and more — are filled with Nuah... its pretty good. Like Hella good. The characters are flawed and beautiful and the seme is very sweet to the uke. I like the healthy part of the relationship. The story gives me a feeling of bitter sweetness I never felt before.

The seventh Imperial princess, Evenrose, once died. Her last memory was when the royal family was destroyed by the Homunculus, who caused treason and was drowned in the scheme of their brother standing on their side, by swallowing poison. But when she opened her eyes again, "I...I'm not dead." She realizes that she's back to the past and was eight years younger. It was before the third emperor, who will be the next heir, was officially chosen as the successor. An opportunity to prevent the fall of the imperial family by pressing the third emperor Bridgette and being recognized as the successor. As part of the preparation, Evenrose decided to write her own article about Michael, the king of Homunculus and the monster of public prison, in order to win the emperor's heart. "I need you, Michael. Very badly." Will Evenrose be able to get him and protect the imperial family safely? It’s good. I like it. ML is not scum and I like the development. Likeable characters with good art

As the only son of a trading firm, Asakura Michitada enters the dormitory at an all-boys school. There, he is put in the same room as his childhood friend and only person he could trust, Tachibana. But for Asakura, their reunion is something of a more complicated nature.- Reallly good story but the mcs are trash. I mean it makes sense but damn. They abadonded everything. Yet, they did sort of have a sacrifice
