the dialogue is perfect. the emotions are justified and i can't help myself from absorbing their pain, love, and happiness. there are more to it than just love triangle and misunderstandings. here, there is maturity in loving and confronting the insecurities that are often mentioned in most yaoi plots: like having kids, being possessive, being clingy or whiny, and being accountable of the choices that you've made. sure, I was heartbroken but the execution justified how it concluded and for the first time, im happy for all the characters. there is satifaction and warmth. as if im being enveloped in a warm and tight embrace. ️ Reread: i was too indulgent. The woman literally had everyone suffer, or at least triggered their suffering, just coz she was suffering. She hated ppl finding their happiness just because she couldnt...and the men had their emotions tragically played. Main couple was saved when the girl left, but now... the other guy has to suck it up as he lost both. Fck.

Ano Hi No Kimi Wo Dakishimeta Nara

Complete | Sakiya Haruhi,Yamamoto Kotetsuko | 2008 released

It drags the suspension bridge but it delivers in the end. We have a supposedly "straight" seme who remains attached to his gay senpai even if the latter is making opportunities to cut off their childhood friendship. It's most likely 70% musing or mulling over their feelings toward each other, 25% of the straight seme making moves on the uke, and 5% of the uke meeting the seme halfway.

I love the pacing of the story. it doesnt make you wait too long nor smack you with sudden plotwists. it gives you time to cope and absorb what just happened. tbh, even the scenes that i expected were still refreshing and interesting. the characters are also in depth so it doesnt feel like the author is forcing you to feel something for them, the author just makes you feel on your own.

Wolf In The House

Complete | park ji-yeon | 2000 released

the supernatural aspect of it develops well and the author balanced heavy themes with comedic drawing styles or casual scenes. you'll be able to witness three couples with different yet harmonic relationships that tie them together. the main couple has a casual romantic relationship, the second uncovers mafia related action, while the third dwells on the separation of human and werewolf. it is a satisfying read because there arent loose ends and the plot does not stray away even if there are 3 stories weaved together. it's also a plus that the author could draw sensual sex scenes, really feeling how they're e treating each other tenderly and lovingly.

The Voice Next Door

Complete | Ahn Eunjin, SeolockT | 2000 released

comedic and wholesome. it's sad that good looks weigh heavily in the beginning of the relationship but the way Jaehyun accepted Jaeseok after knowing his secret is heart warming.

I Have A Boyfriend

it starts off slow, or maybe manhwa's are really written like that...but the character growth really shows and the love is there. i just feel like the ending stopped abruptly and hoped to know more about their transition living abroad.

Blood Bank

Complete | silb | 2015 released

The overall concept is amazing! Although, the execution is somewhat disorganize and chaotic, the message surfaces. The art is pleasing and fitting to the concept of apocalypse and supernatural. The conclusion is also promising because it opens a new story instead of capping it off. I'm a little disappointed that Eric's identity stopped at acceptance but i guess everyone's identity in the story showed enough to keep the theme vampire x human going. I was expecting his identity to be more flambouyant, but the author did great at keeping it more of a subtle and invisible trait that is helping the world adjust to a new system of equity. bottomline: this is more of a societal documentary that included key people's love story.

I'm more amazed that goldfishes can grow that big. Story wise, I like the seme's pov and how he doesnt really outgrow his tendencies to do as he wishes. it's because of this that the uke is able to move forward from being chained by his brother's threats and one sided love.

Fushidara na Hanatsumi Otoko

Complete | Suzushiro | 2015 released

I was troubled by Kotaro's actions when Ayumi had to leave and Kotaro had to take care of Kyoujo. i mean, he is very much in love with ayumi so he didnt have to overthink about Kyoujo. sure, he can be troubled about doing something behind ayumi's back but the moment he cared too much about Kyoujo made his character dubious. im just glad that he became absolute about his response when e he refused Kyoujo. Also, Akari was a pain in the ass but him being underhanded makes sense. also, the chief is pitiful here because he got roped in but didnt even get to have a partner in the story HAHAHA ps. i sense a good story for Kyoujo and Akari. i just wonder if Akari can remain "pure and innocent" even after knowing a man cause Akari has been a bitch before meeting Kyoujo.

From Points of Three

Complete | White Eared | 2017 released

the second story doesnt feel complete, as if there's a foreshadowing in that last panel. But still, I enjoyed reading it and learning how psychologically confusing role playing could be. also, Heejae is literally the man who screams wolf or how the idiom goes. Its amazing how Jisuh can maintain his relationship with him after being manipulated by Heejae. not only that, they can still roleplay and have Heejae dominate him (the only sign that Heejae changed is how Jisuh can also dominate him in terms of the relationship)
