8th yaoi This looked like a really cute manhua with the cutest couple. It turned out to be exactly that. I loved the personalities of each character and the realism of the situations and reactions. It seemed the closest to real life. It was interesting since it's been a long time since I read a manhua and I never read this genre even though I was obsessed with chinese manhuas. I love the main couple so much and they just the cutest beings ever. I still felt that it lacked the more intense scenes and action. It became too focused on the side couples towards the end and It's boring for me since I only really like the main couple. At this point, the manhua is finished as all the action between the main couple is gone and there were chapters of their future so I guess it's over for me. I still enjoyed it but I won't read manhuas anymore because they way too long and draggy. P.S: I would clarify that it is one of the few manhuas that had actual love and not just lust disguised as love. I liked this aspect and after reading more, I realized how rare this was. Would read more manhuas.

19th yaoi. At first, I hesitated in reading this because I saw a comment that talked about death and it really hit me hard. I also didn't notice the shounen ai tag which is a bit annoying now since I expected more. But Overall, I actually liked it. It had an interesting story line and the darkness of it made it a lot more exciting. Despite having almost 60 chapters, the story is short and the characters still seem confusing. It was indeed a tragedy and I feel so much hate for the characters who caused his suicide and the fact that the culprit was not punished and that everyone seemed really unbothered by the fact that he was abused and raped made me really mad and confused. I mean the boy committed suicide and lost his memories after he went to school but you still have the audacity to act as if you cared as parents and send him directly to school and also not even knowing how bad his relationship with his brother is ? I am so mad right now and this left such a bad after taste even though it was a good manga. It makes you realize the reality of things. The art style was one of the main reasons I hesitated to read it but I recently started reading more manga with different art styles and realized that it didn't really matter and that you can only truly appreciate the art if you enjoy the contents. I actually liked Siwon and Taemin even more than Woojin, even though he was supposed to be The handsome guy. There was a lot of unexplored potential for this story but I guess the author wanted to keep things short. Would absolutely recommend if looking for a tragedy that might not quite seem like it that portrays the reality of society nowadays.
