Linnea's manga / #Violence(3)

Legs That Won't Walk

Complete | 흑살구, Black Apricot | 2020 released

10.9.2020 The protagonist in this story is a young(ish) man with a leg injury that came from him being a boxer. So far in the story (ch 17) life has really dealt him a shitty hand: his old lover since his high school graduation has suddenly turned into one who does domestic violence and rapes him in bed, and apparently his dad ran foul of some korean mafia debt collectors. There’s a lot of dark things happening, and so far no character is either white or black but instead all sorts of grey. His new boss, who’s attracted to him, kinda goes berserk on the old lover, and one of his ’new coworkers’ is just really yandere. I want to know what’ll happen next, but so far this is Korean version of a yaoi yakuza-rape trope. 24.4.2024 ch 92 The yakuza finally offers to help our boxer get his leg fixed.

21,11.2020 This one was actually surprisingly good! Raw, dramatic and full of all the best yakuza tropes.

Good morning, bad day

12.5.2021 The first chapter was the best and most realistic, about a lonely gay café owner apatetic towards life and the young man that falls in love with him and enables him to feel again. Loved it. Chapter 3 about the roommates felt forced because of how it could have become so much better if the seme had told the uke he’d had a crush on him since high school. The rest of the stories: trash.
