eishin's manga / #Comedy(28)

Another story to remind me how painfully single I am (lol). On a serious note though, this was really good. We could see the growth in Yool, with regards to recovering from trauma and finding himself again before going into a commitment with his partner. While Yechan patiently waited and found the path he wants to take as an adult because he took inspiration from Yool's passion. The two of them complement each other in many different aspects to the point that they feel so perfect for each other. Regarding the story development, I like that Insuh became this older brother character after all was said and done. Thinking that Insuh and Yool's relationship was more of a right people but wrong time situation makes sense to me. Although some things in Insuh's POV rubbed me off the wrong way, ultimately I believe the real villain here is Yool's dad. Thankfully his mom and sister are super suportive, the same can also be said about Yechan's parents. Overall this is a fluff story through and through, though we have some very censored spicy scenes (which doesn't make it any less hotter btw... cuz buff uke yk). Seeing the journey of the leads from bickering, growing onto each other, then eventually being in a healthy relationship looking extremely content made me all warm inside making this so much worth the read.

This story was a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. I really liked it, though the pacing got wonky towards the end. Honestly, this couple has so much chemistry and I love how their personalities compliment each other. They were hilarious during the first half and had so much tension (not in a bad way, made me feel so single fr) during the latter half. The confession scene took a while but it was nice to see how it mirrors their first meeting as children. Regarding the ending though, I wish we saw the second marriage and post-marriage moments before it ended (or through side stories). The conclusion just felt super rushed and didn't let us readers bask in the moments of fluff after all the BS with the first prince. But I do get that we don't really know the circumstances of the author and artist that could've impacted their decision over the pacing of the latter half :') Overall, I still think this is a pretty good read with a nice happy ending.

There's not really much to say. They're childhood friends, one of them started lactating for some reason (irl this should be straight to the doctor btw but BL logic ig), then the other offered to help when they found out. After they did the deed the seme confessed that they like *like* the uke (lowkey funny cuz uke was "yeah bro I like you too, I'm chill with being f buddies") but they cleared it up pretty quickly. It's really just a pornhwa that needed a driving force for the snu snu.

The misunderstandings at the beginning was hilarious. This is definitely mostly comedy at the start but then transitioned really well to fluff and snu snu territory. I adore Iro and Ho-ryung's relationship, not because they're ideal or anything like that but they seem so human in a way. That cosplay at the end was so hot I wish we could've seen more. Also, justice for Jaewoo, I thought we're gonna get at least a love interest for him but oh well. Regardless, this was a nice short read with a pretty healthy couple born from office romance.

Pretty interesting plot with the nod to different classic fairy tales. It's super short though and also machine translated so the ending is quite confusing. Would love to read a well developed story with a similar premise.

Much more interesting than I expected! Left off with a cliffhanger for now, but I look forward to how the plot develops in the future.

There's a lot to unpack about this story, but to prevent a huge wall of text let's just say that the second couple (Yoonseol/Jungsoo) was definitely more fleshed out than the first one (Suk-yun/Woo-in). I loved how the author introduced the main couple during the first few chapters, I was hoping it would be a good journey through the narrative of healing and learning to accept yourself instead of conforming to please others, (as a fellow who has problems with being a perfectionist myself) but we kept switching over to address issues of the second couple (which I didn't hate because the storytelling for their story is immaculate) though this caused the issue between the main couple to be place in the back burner. Then we got to the point where the second couple's relationship has a more solid foundation than the main couple, as we got dragged back to the drama of Suk-yun and Woo-in, a lot of questionable (and seemed unnecessary) things happened. It wasn't the type of development that I thought the author would do to help heal the trauma of both the main leads in a healthy way. Instead we went through a rough route which is just borderline toxic, the way we didn't even get a proper talk about addressing the rape and SA was just a no no for me. That's not to say that I didn't like this story tho, honestly I loved it a lot so that's why it's a shame to me that the main couple's story headed in that direction before we got to the cute moments of their relationship.

The start was a bit rough because Jaesung felt like a red flag during their early meetings but he grew on me easily when he started softening up a lot to Hyun. There's no rape, SA, or non-con for this one so that's nice. There was one time where it seemed Jaesung was going to force himself on Hyun but the first thought he had when Hyun returned the kiss instead of turning him away was that if Hyun even knows how to refuse others, then the next day he was on his knees with his head on the floor apologizing for what he did even though Hyun didn't see it as coercion. He turned into such a big puppy top by the end and Hyun is also actively trying to make himself better for the both of them. A really good read to be honest, didn't expect it to be this great from that title and initial premise. Wish we could've seen more of the second couple too.

I will start of by saying that Qaltaqa's brother was annoying at first but he's totally my type, I'm on my knees, Aqnam

This is one of those guilty-pleasure reads. My moral compass is nagging me in the back of my mind about all the red flags in this story, but at the same time because of how the narrative is shown to us readers, (i.e., a very comical and lighthearted vibe) it's easy to just gloss over it as nothing out of the sorts. We might even be able to argue that whatever transpired here isn't as bad as most other BLs out there (the bar is in hell ik). Ignoring the questionable elements though, Mongryong and Jeha's relationship is pretty cute. Mongryong is probably the most chaotic uke out there and I say this with a lot of love for him, a top-tier power bottom fr. There was some SA and dub-con earlier on in the story but later on everything was consensual. The ending did feel a bit abrupt, I guess the creators were going to a more open-ended route, but a bit of domestic bliss would've been nice after all the crazyness. Overall though, it was a pretty nice read with good art and interesting plot.
