I like the variety of characters in the story. Even having Nishima here as a supposed love triangle was fun because we are given a sadder version of being gay. We know that it is tolerated but never truly accepted. That theme of homosexual struggle is real and confronted in this story which is nice and really heartwarming.

A Thousand Cranes

Complete | Jung Seokchan | 2000 released

Should I start folding a thousand crane, too? I live for this content! Craig is not paranoid and it's true that he has his own guilt and regret eats him but he knows to think. My heart is also bleeding for Dean and I'm glad that he was able to keep holding on to Craig even when his nightmares could make him violent. Actually, it won't even surprise me he becomes violent against Craig because of his anxiety and nightmares. But no, he holds him more gently afterwards, wanting Craig to feel at ease. because this is true love, wanting to be a better person for someone you love

Kashikomarimashita, Destiny

Complete | Sachimo | 2015 released

THIS. I am telling you, this is the GOD-TIER of Omegaverse. The balanced level of cowardice and courage when loving someone is so good that it makes Omegaverse dynamic and less constricting. It breaks stereotypes of impregnating omegas and making betas useless. Ichigo and Yuuto are the couple I'd like to emphasize on. Even when Ichigo keeps pushing away even if he loves Yuuto, there is that exhilarating burst of pride in me when he ran to save Yuuto from being trapped. Gah, their love story is amazing and the way these butlers and their masters created a family is what I live for. ️ I doubt I'll ever read another Omegaverse story that would beat this.

5 Seconds

Complete | Sachimo | 2000 released

The stories after the main story took me off guard. Tbh, these are the themes Im somewhat comfortable thinking about or writing about. but somehow, im uncomfortable reading them, especially when i dont intend to read them. Mutliple stories are really like stepping into a landmine

It still bugs me how Manubu got framed into being a rapist. like, that's a huge stain you can't run from. also, these lonely souls were drawn to each other and i love their love affair. Besides, since it ended with Dai looking for a job then it means theyve really moved in with each other and has lived a life of a couple. its just funny thinking how Manubu must have been thinking about 'old man stink' HAHAHA

This is a good example of balancing immaturity and growth. the uke doesnt have to be irritating for almost 90% of the time and make the seme suffer. oh no, Hizome and Yamato matured TOGETHER. There's an actual character development. this is healthy love ghad, mangas like this are the best ️ these are good slice of life, student x student, and loud ukes that I so so love!

Jazz for two

Complete | Clarju | 2000 released

i- here are 2 songs that played in my head: too sad to cry by sasha sloan and life moves on by finneas. not jazz but they just played in my head. the story began awkwardly and the dialogue sounded unnatural. however, when the underlying conflict surfaced, i began to admire the straightforwardness of the dialogue. the songs used and the character building matched even when the pacing was somehow slow, like listening to jazz (i tried listening to a few of the songs, starting from lucky to be me by monica zetterlund). too sad to cry began playing in my head when the truth about Jaejun's suicide unraveled. life moves on played when they were slowly coming into terms with it. also, i can picture the first season as a musical. the second was more serious and fit for a movie. my emotional and sentimental heart breaks and heals while reading this. especially because of how impactful Jaejun's suicide was...

Star x Fanboy

Complete | Kim Cheomji | 2000 released

I know the art style is cute but I cant help but think of the worse possible outcomes hahaha. Then i realize, this one is meant to be fluffy and highlighting the passion and determination of an aspiring actor who got to meet and be in a relationship with his idol. Thats why even if i enjoyed it, im still tense the whole time hahaha. Also, i want to emphasize on the childlike character of Fanboy. He might seem like a dreamer or childish that doesnt connect to reality but it is this trait of his that i envy the most. Each waking hours is driven by his purpose to be better in acting which makes him vibrant and more lively. Just as what i learned from socrates, it is best not to lose the curiosity of a child. Star is totally adorable and down to earth, it’s almost scary. Im glad that the author showed how human he is with his ‘negative’ traits.

How Sweet is a Sugar Daddy

I... I'm not so sure about this HAHAHA i must be too immature and inexperienced to say something about it. But, mental wise, yeah, these two have a huge age gap so they have polar thinking. If they weren't attracted to each other, i doubt they'd like each other even after 4 years. I mean, you'd grow up and see things different and somehow even be ashamed of your youthful foolishness. But thinking about that, maybe i'd also understand Sihoon's insecurity. Even if that wasnt manifesting at the end chapter. Glad Mari and Junyoung became friends in the end hahaha I made a topic about my own thoughts about the ending tho.

Never Understand

Complete | Bbong | 2013 released

For once, I read something that addressed the bullies instead of just blaming the attractive one which the bullies use as an excuse to bully. It was funny, frustrating, and made me furious. But I loved how Jaemin and Yuri's relationship strengthened. Im unsure about how i feel for the archer and the narcissist but i guess theyre supposed to have a happy ending. Also Jumin and the other guy is so cute hahaha. But i cant deny how furious i was when the red read bullied Jumin because of his cowardice. Gah, im glad he apologized and made it that he doesnt hurt Jumin again. By the way, that girl had it coming to her. She's not even aware of her mistakes so let her be punished for it until she becomes aware of it. That silver haired hyung was let off too easily. I already assumed that he raped Jaemin, and maybe the poor boy is just too mentally strong to get over that but what the fuck? Anyway, he redeemed himself slightly when he settled the aftermath and broke up with Sayeon.
