B-Class Guide
Another Guideverse manhwa, about Jaeha, who transfers to the dangerous Division 4, from his previous comfortable post in Division 1, after his evil-ass boyfriend, the Esper he was previously guiding as a Dedicated Guide, cheated on him and broke up with him. At Division 4, he is somehow miraculously able to guide the S class Esper, Do Jiyoon, who has never been able to be properly guided, in his entire life. This earn's him Do Jiyoon's endless loyalty and love, but Jaeha isn't ready to trust someone again just to have his heart broken. Honestly, neither the uke nor the seme have personality traits I usually find attractive or want to sympathise with. Obviously, both of them are amazing at their jobs and had been put through difficult times, Do Jiyoon, more than anyone else, but neither are amazing people. But there's something about them together that just draws me right in. They're so good together, I bet that experiment to reduce Espers' dependency on Guides, even if it worked, wouldn't change a damn thing between them. Ahhhh. This ugly-hearted bitch!! Trying to reverse the blame on Jaeha. You cheated on him, mofo! And broke his fucking heart. Honestly, where does he get off trying to play the victim. Bitch. Ch 47 I can't, just can't wait for the updates, God. This is too good, dammit.
Barefoot Angel
Turner, a young shoemaker, takes in a mysterious stranger in the dead of winter, thinking him to be another homeless man down on his luck, only to find he's taken home a fallen angel. The topic is nothing shallow. But the execution is light and easy. There's nothing I don't like about this. Except, maybe, I just need a bit more of their lives afterwards. The yearning and the waiting is beautifully depicted, but there's nothing negative about it, a rare feat. I also loved Turner's easy acceptance, faith, even. As far as yaoi go, this was just, sublime 5
Draig Mid Knight
Love story between Alex, an orphan adopted by the king and Kline, a half dragon. It is good. But it is also very unresolved. There are just too many loose ends. What actually happened between Kline's mum and dad. Why were the villagers protecting him even though they drove him out? What about Alex's brother's creepy daddy-issues? His look-alike lover? What about the other Alex? It's just too open. 4.45
The Tiger Who Swallowed The Moon
Having read 3 chapters I can say this isn't 5he slightest bit interesting to me. Dropped
Where the Wind Stays
The art. Is breathtaking. It's so good, it feels wasted on yaoi. The plot was very interesting and the resolution was more than satisfactory. For both the mains and all the sides. My only real complaint would be, after chapters upon chapters of so much pain and death, the fluff chapters were too few. This needs at least 10 more chapters of fluff. 5
Yuusha-san wa Maou-sama no Ko o Haramitai
Aah, shit. I could have enjoyed this if I had gone in with the right frame of mind. But as it was, I went in with a Shield Hero/ my own wizard/ wielder universe kind of mood. So the humiliation and mind break ended up disgusting me instead. I really do think I should reread this later, with a shallow, SEP field-y point of view. Edit: I did reread it while suspending all disbelief and compassion. It really wasn't too bad at all. 4.2
Sahara no Kuro Washi
It's really near impossible to seperate fiction from reality when the subject of the fictional piece is a slave trader. I really do think Loki would have been a kind and likable man in any other circumstance. At least he freed them all, so there is that. I just couldn't like it. Him getting raped didn't endear the story to me, either. 3.5 The alien is so annoying. He's a grade A creep. Recording them then later trying to forcibly remove their memories. The whole thing is played off in a lighthearted slapstick manner. But it bothered me so much. 3.9
Eternal Contract
A boy who was born with uncontrollable powers was ostracised and cast out until his "saviour" appeared in the form of a priest who gave him shelter and purpose. But, all is not as it seems. Oh my gosh, poor baby. Someone help himmm 5 Ch 11
