Enjo Mate
Shows a bit of the ugly side of humans. There’s possessiveness, messed up love, and rape. You’re not sure who is the good guy or the bad guy, but instead, the two main characters love in such intense passion that it borders unhealthy. A type of story to read if you want some f*ckery, angst, and drama. Rape & Violence.
Stigma
I reread this after the full English translations came out. The story is about learning to live and love after going through traumatic events. It is very dark and angsty, but the author did a beautiful job portraying the development of most (only the ones that are important) characters. It is heartbreaking and involves a lot of triggering themes, as well as racism, prejudice, and shaming. Sehyun Lee is a Korean immigrant brought to the states (maybe?) with his father who ended up dead after losing all his money to a scam. One day, when he was stealing food from a grocery store, he’s caught and given refuge by the owner. At first, the owner, Michael, shows Sehyun kindness and provides him a place to stay, but after Michael’s friend is released from prison, the kindness ceases and is replaced by hatred, abuse, and neglect. Sehyun meets Boris, who he calls his knight, when he’s saved from men in a bathroom. Their story is bright within this dark story, but it does take time for them to reach a place of love and understanding.
