RoseMary's manga / #Smoking(296)

Half-brothers // 26 y.o. seme x 17 y.o. uke // Age Gap: 9 years. > Note: at the end of chapter 5, the seme sees the result of the DNA test and, from his expression, we can tell what it was. Then in chapter 6 "Secret", it's basically confirmed by the the things the seme says. In any case, he intends to not tell it to the uke, fearing that he'll lose his place by his side as a lover. But I think the uke deserved to know...

️Yeah, we can definitely say a thing or two about the seme, like we all agree on the fact that back then the seme would have really let the uke be gang raped by his friends, if the uke's cousin didn't come to rescue him. He was already leaving the room...we may even say that maybe he would have gone back in the room, but that seemed so unlikely. I also read many comments about the fact that the seme didn't apologized for how he treated the uke all along. But this is the type of character chosen for this story. And one may like him or not. Personally, I like reading stories with bad, villain-like protagonist as well, so it was interesting. And about the uke being so forgiving...well, that's true, he's so painfully naive but he's not stupid for me, he's just so pure and he's so blindly in love with Rin. He didn't deserve that, and that was what hurt the most while reading. But when he went to find the seme at that house on the beach, that very same innocence, and his genuine and forgiving feelings above all, finally reached the seme. The seme also thought the uke fell for him because he was the first person who showed him freedom, but the uke fell in love at first sight with the seme. After the seme brought the uke at the hospital and then left, that seashell he left behind meant that the time they spent at the beach was precious and it was also his way to say he was sorry. The fact itselft that he went away meant he felt some kind of remorse. Well, that's just my opinion. In any case, overall I really liked this story, because I'm a sucker for this kind of youth angsty drama stories! Also, the art style was well-suited for the story, although some panels needed some refinement. In a couple of them, I really couldn't make out the characters' exact gestures. So it had some flaws here and there, but the story itself is really good for me.️

«✾✾» Oneshot for the series Camellia. It seems the author wanted to include it in the original manga but left it as a oneshot. Camellia: mangago.me / read-manga / camellia_minami /

// Based on a Novel // 2 Volumes (Complete / Discontinued) » While the manhwa is sadly incomplete, one can still watch the live-action movie, which I loved. While I really like the manhwa, I prefer the movie! - kissasian.li / Drama / Temptation-of-Wolves

Action // Comedy // Slow Romance // Drama // Yakuza // Age Gap // Tragic Past 《》The plot may be a bit slow in the beginning but later it becomes very interesting and things start happening...there are alternating funny moments - love triangles and everyday life - and deeper moments - traumatic and tragic past and action-packed sequences with twists and unexpected turns of events...this is what has held together this manga: Chocolat is a mature comedy series, so it had a comic and lighthearted tone to it, but also important heavy themes....a beautiful story that after sad moments will leave a heartwarming feeling. I'm not a fan of time skip, so I wanted to see more details about the last events, but even so I'm satisfied. The manga was adapted to Drama

6 Volumes (Tankoubon - Complete) / 3 Volumes (Bunkoban - Complete) - Dropped... // Really hope to read the whole story!
