Chinrou Cantarella
After his upper-class family fell in ruin and his parents committed suicide, Shingo is left with a huge debt, which is paid off by the brothel Tsubakirou, but he didn't know the price would be his body: he's going to be trained to become the best courtesan in the red-light district. There, he meets again the rude man he encountered days before, and he's actually the one in charge to train him! Could this be a fateful reunion? The art is beautiful. Why drop it?? There are raws, but I hope it'll be picked up again!
Running On Empty
Attempted Suicide // Kidnapping // Stockholm Syndrome // Lima Syndrome // Opposites Attract // Photography // Runaway Han Soo-Bum wanted to take his own life, but instead he's kidnapped by Lee Hyuk Soo, a guy who is falsely accused of murder. The guy takes him as hostage to escape: thus, begins a crazy, but amazing, journey! - I really liked this story, in particular how the two became closer to each other as they spent more time together. It's a full color manhwa with great art and photographic elements, predominant throughout the story: those photos were so beautiful! Moreover, I think that journey was so meaningful. In fact, the story isn't so focused on the characters' backgrounds, the Yakuza background, how the real culprit was caught etc., but rather on the journey, exactly because it's metaphorical: I think the point is that you never know...something unexpected could happen at any moment and change your life! Like our Han Soo-Bum, who wanted to die, but then he was pulled in that unique journey, which changed his view about things! The same goes for Lee Hyuk Soo: that meeting with Han Soo-Bum and their journey together changed him. At this point I'd say it's fate that brought them together! I felt so good after reading this, totally recommended!
Ramune no Shalala
High-School Student x University Student|Swimming Assistant ~Even if summer ends, some fevers will never pass! And this is the case for our protagonist, who thanks to his summer-fevers finds love...aww such a cute and beautiful story!! I liked the Ramune reference all along the story and once again sensei did a great job...her stories are so gentle and special, this one is definitely a valuable oneshot! It makes you dream and I wish that this sort of fate-like story would happen to me too!~ By the way, now I want a Ramune bottle too!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Amefurashi - Shunu Ni Shippori To Nureru, Ooedo Renaitan
«✿✿» Collection of stories - Omg! All I love is here in this manga! Scarlet Beriko is so dangerous, I'm totally captivated by such good works! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ • Ch 1 Amefurashi - Shizuru, master of a kimono shop, goes at full speed towards a brothel and boldly asks: "How much do you cost?" - Not surprising in a place like that, but he actually asks that to the owner instead of the girls! And he gets beaten up ahah amazing! (*≧▽≦)ノシ Such an enjoyable twist to a traditional red-light district story! And it's interesting the fact that the owner of the brothel says he hates rain, when his name is Amane, which means the sound of rain, as said in the T|N. But he really seems to have some bad memories or trauma about rain and something that happened in the past, so I think Shizuru, who is determined to make him his, will surely help him to forget such things! In fact, he's so sweet and I really liked when he said this: "What I bought was your time. By doing that we can spend time together, which is fine by me. All I need to get my hands on your heart is time...". Amane was totally pleased hearing that.
Zhenniao
What a pleasant surprise! From the plot I thought this would be interesting, so I was curious...I'm glad to finally be able to read it! I love the setting and the art is amazing!! Carefully detailed, with the right choice of colours, the cover and the colour page are gorgeous! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ Human x Poisonous Birdman - In a certain country there are birds named Zhen who feed on poison, which makes change the colour of their feathers: the more poison they accumulate in their body, the more vivid and beautiful the feathers become, like a rainbow. However, people are bewitched by the beauty of those poisonous feathers, which are a Zhen's pride... Hatred and love intersect in this amazing fantasy BL! ➸ I like the concept, how it is inspired by the legendary chinese creatures Zhenniao, birds that are said to have existed in the montainous regions of southern China and to be poisonous from eating venomous viper heads. Such Zhenniao are as lethal as they are beautiful, as we can see in the story. I appreciate how the author took this mythical reference to create something different!
