RoseMary's manga / #Manly/Mature Feel(68)

(()) I really liked the main story, tragic but beautiful at the same time. Also the parallel world part was really cute. Anyway it left me with so many emotions that it's even hard to put it into words. Just thinking about how they fell in love with each other in that cruel world moves me...reading this was a journey of emotions

# Foreign Characters, Foreign Setting, Promiscuous Gay Uke

「 Summary: In the dark alleys of this city, there's no hope for trash like Sehyun. Having sex with strangers in the cramped stall behind a bar is just a typical Thursday night. But after a chance encounter with the brash and violent Boris, Sehyun begins to dream of living a normal life and an end to his restless nights. Boris is unlike any other man he's encountered. After a life spent bound by thorns, can time truly heal all scars? 」 I love how Boris was Sehyun's saviour! These stories of salvation, unconditional love and newfound hope for a better future always get me! And, if they have a realistic feel and they're well-written and impressive like this one, also in terms of art and everything else, I'm really totally captivated! Stigma also has many of my favourite elements, from the setting and the plot to the characters and their interaction and dynamics, so I loved it so much from the very beginning! And, in the end, I was so glad that, after so many hardships, Sehyun finally found peace thanks to Boris and strated a new happy life together with him! > Lastly but not least, the message of the story is very important, because it's so easy to judge things as they appear without even knowing what lies behind a facade / a situation, or turn away from something which doesn't have anything to do with us and seems so distant from us! But Boris learnt the lesson in first person (when he witnessed his friends raping a girl but didn't do anything to help, he simply turned away, and then the girl, Tracy, ultimately jumped in front of his car and died), that we can't always remain indifferent and turn a blind eye to such bad things happening in front of our eyes! We have to do something...and that's how Boris saved Sehyun from that living hell! Just thinking about how Sehyun would have had to continue to "live" like that if Boris hadn't come into his life, it makes me so sad! At the end, Sehyun's words in front of Tracy's grave sent shivers down my spine: "If it weren't for you, Boris might have left that restroom without noticing me. He wouldn't have had a reason to follow me to Michael's house...or roll around in the snow because of me, either. So, I...owe my life to you." > Btw, that "slutty uke" tag should be removed! > (Ch. 31-32 - Their first time together) # Uke with tattoos, Seme with tattoos and piercings (lobe piercings, eyebrow piercing, helix and nostril)

1 Volume (Complete) - It seems the story "Rub in Love" is actually completed with part 01 and part 02, as raw also stop there! If there was more, they were probably independent oneshots included in the volume...as we can see from the contents page, there were supposed to be included the stories "Jellyfish" and "0 Nothing", but even in raw they're not available...

Cool! I love this...It makes me want to read more to see what will happen next!

"Like the flowing water that slips through my fingers, you continue to slip away from me even though you are near me" Seriously, I never get tired of this...I could just keep on reading this again and again forever!! I think I'll never find anything better than this! ✿✿

Woah this is totally my kind of thing!! I'm loving this so much! So excited!!

Can't really explain...but all I know is that no matter how many times I re-read this story, it always makes me so excited and I'm drawn to it so badly! It's really dangerous for my heart...it's so manly and captivating...It's simply irresistible!

I don't know...well, I was quite excited to read this, because it seemed my kind of story and at the beginning it really was. I liked the art style and I really liked the characters. I liked how they met and there was a good vibe / atmosphere going on. But then somehow it failed to captivate me. While I was curious to see how they would have gotten together, the development of their relationship and the dynamics of the story didn't impress me much then...I mean, it was a good story and I liked it, but I wasn't much satisfied. The first two chapters were really good and made me anticipating, but then with every other chapter ending and nothing much happening, my excitement faded. And just like that, it was already the ending of the story. Even the thing about the model not revealing his name, at first it made him kinda mysterious and interesting, but then we still didn't get to find out not even in the end and that was a bit weird. So, yeah, it left me wanting more... >> Note: it's Shounen Ai not Yaoi!!
