eishin's manga / #coworkers(12)

Amazing story, in my opinion the author did really well with the plot setup and the story-telling because this thing really played with my emotions. It started off really chill with a light and fluffy story and some steamy smut but then towards the end of S2 it started going to a dark turn It's interesting because I was very very uncomfortable with Jiwoon's obsessive tendencies with Suha but I couldn't hate him. Not after seeing what he went through in that house (the poor kid). In the end he never wanted to hurt Suha, on the contrary, he was actually quick to admit his faults (unlike some other characters I've seen which refuses to see their own mistakes). All he needed was some time to think and he managed to sort out his own thoughts in the correct manner and I love that, I guess that's why I just couldn't hate him even though he scared me from what he was doing. This kind of mindset also made me understand why Suha willingly forgave him. Lastly about the ending, it was beautiful to see them saying "I love you" to each other so genuinely after all was said and done. That revelation about Jiwoon's parents made me hate them honestly. I made peace with myself that maybe they left Jiwoon cuz they thought they won't be able to provide for him. But then, they ended up having more children and I'm just like- wtf?? They never thought of at least checking on him? That explanation wasn't enough either, they had so much opportunities to try reaching out to him when he was younger, then maybe he wouldn't have so much psychological scars T^T I actually liked that he didn't accept them again, I think they deserve it IDK I just think I'd be so hurt if I was in his situation seeing that the parents I coveted so much throughout suffering such hell growing up actually had other children that they probably showered so much love as they grew up. That sucks y'know that they didn't even check on him after 20 something years. Overall the story was great and now I'm waiting for side-stories ^^

SO CUTE!! A very wholesome story, to the point that I was smiling the whole time while reading. I love Yagi and Ookagi's relationship so much and they care and adore each other very much. This thing is so fluffy that even the smut scenes looked cute to me lmao. Both leads are so gentle and considerate, they're both just walking green flags so I was just filled with joy while reading their relationship progression. Ookami is very respectful and patient to not just Yagi but also to other people despite being a wolf which for me is refreshing since there's this stereotype where it seems wolves have to be rude and shit. Anyways, it was a nice short read, 10/10 would read again.

It feels incomplete. Someone continue this please it can't just end like that ;-;

Pretty tame for being a part of this anthology. The ending is not bad either, even if the seme seems a bit fucked in the head. I will probably never look at Chupa Chups the same way ever again after this one.

This is peak healthy relationship right here. What I loved most about this was Hyun-woo's actions even before they defined the relationship as something more than just a hookup. From the get-go he was already quite the gentleman with the small gestures he does for Young-won. He's so funny because he kept saying he's not boyfriend material after all that too. If I was Young-won I would've fallen hard too tbh. The start was hilarious with the bickering between our two leads. Young-won was introduced as a hopeless romantic type where he has this clear idea of a perfect romance that he wants to have. Meanwhile Hyun-woo is a realist and somehow just goes with the flow as his relationships developed. Both of them had such distinct personalities, which made the reading experience so much better. I was anxiously anticipating which one of them would fall first after the no-strings-attached setup happened, but it seems like both of them fell at the same time (which is a surprise since I thought Young-won would be first). Hyun-woo turned out to be more of a cinnamon roll green flag than we could ever ask for, he's seriously such a good partner for Young-won after all the trauma he experienced from past relationships. Wish we could've seen the wedding though. I absolutely loved the narrative this story painted to us readers. I felt like we were able to explore how their relationship developed and the things that changed for the better for the both of them after they became official. Honestly, I don't do enemies to lovers troupe that much but this one was so good I'm thinking I should explore that troupe more. This was funny, felt realistic, has SexEd along the way, the leads actually communicate and are always honest with each other (just a healthy relationship in general), and had a lovely conclusion. That last panel with both of them smiling so happily made me all warm and fuzzy inside. It's definitely up there as one of the best BLs I've ever read.

It's not phenomenal, but it's good to read if you don't have anything else. The art is nice and character designs are very good (especially Eunkyum's friend lol). To be honest Jihyuk (top) was such a douche and immature bastard in the earlier part of the story. He held a grudge for something stupid that Eunkyum (bottom) said to him 10 years ago when they were teens and decided to get revenge using petty ways like abusing his position as someone higher up in the company. He also raped Eunkyum (drunk sex) and had dub-con intercourse multiple times with the bottom saying 'No' and him just basically saying 'Nah, bro ik you like it' resulting to Eunkyum either blacking out or just crying from too much stimulation. It got cute later on but Jihyuk made me very uncomfortable a lot of times during nsfw scenes. Their bickering is pretty entertaining and Eunkyum's siblings are adorable so that's a plus for this story.

it's basically just porn, good art tho and the smut is hot...

Only way to describe this is: what the fuck did I just read? Translation is pretty bad, story is bad too; art is pretty but it doesn't really help much in this situation tbh. I would give it zero stars if I could.

[Three short stories] I loved the story in Chapter 1-2 and the last one (Chapter 5). Wish those were longer tbh there's so much potential for more. The story for Chapter 3-4 is less compelling because of the SA/rape. Everything was interesting though, lowkey the last one was so hot lol.
