Kokoro O Korosu Houhou

Complete | kashio | 2014 released

it’s very sad because the ending isn’t happy at all, althought that’s what it looks like. the main character falls so hard into depression and develops something akin to stockholm syndrome and loses himself to the thing making him miserable. this is not a happy story and the ending is good, albeit frustrating/a bad end. you think it is, but the cycle continues. this one of those rare bl mangas that doesn’t actually romanticize incest and shows it as being disgusting and psychologically damaging.

Color Recipe

Complete | Harada | 2015 released

as expected of harada-sensei!! i lover her psycho and fucked up works so much i tagged it as enemies to lovers but it isnt really at first, it seems normal and i even though it was super tame for harada-sensei but there’s a twist ;) i adore this story so much omg the manga ends with a cliffhanger btw its pretty trash

Work, Fight and Love

Complete | YOO Ha Jin | 2000 released

woooo !!! ok so this comment is a month after i actually read it (i read it on march 12, 2020. it’s april 20 rn) so my memory is hazy but anyways since the start, i was already interested. i am in love with loud, stubborn ukes mixed with popular, sly/aloof types. it starts super interesting and i’m left wondering “oh shit is this an actual love triangle whats going ON” and stuff. their dynamic is SO fun and FUNNY and they’ve fallen in love before they’ve even realized!!!! the seme was so sweet. i enjoyed their development so much. ESPECIALLY the seme suddenly did a 180 and became too possessive that he was borderline a yandere. it satisfied my fucked up mess inside. for some reason, they just forgot the whole subplot thing with the president until the very end of the story which was THE WORST DECISION EVER AND SUBTRACTED A LOT OF POINTS FOR ME. it ended up being so rushed and stupid and so anticlimactic. absolutely horrible. 8/10 HOWEVER. after ch 61? everything went to the shit. i don’t know why (though i have a brief idea which involved the seme sleeping with a side character i didnt give a shit about and found annoying) but i left a tag saying that during my first read so i just included it ahaa

Momentum

Complete | PARK Ji-yeon | 2015 released

one of my most memorable reads. i love park ji-yeon’s works so much. momentum is a collection of short stories that take place in one universe (it’s really fun to see small easter eggs) and each chapter punches you in the gut hard. very heart-wrenching. this is ANGST. i cried. holy shit. its just- everyone needs to read this.

this is one of those mangas that scream early 2000s yaoi.. the artstyle and story? yeah this was boring and the seme was really annoying for being so difficult at the beginning most of the time i just skim through and i only really like the fluff scenes or when the seme was jealous despite being shit, this is strangely memorable to me so let's give it 2 stars !
