Back to School
tbh, i didnt like how passive chiwoo was until i understood why he seemed incapable of taking action. although i admit, i expected too much from him. poor boy, he suffered from Jihyun's twisted expression of love. thus, im so happy whenever Kyujin appears and saves Chiwoo from breaking down under Jihyun's pressure. also, I'm glad that it ended this way. no, i dont want to ship chiwoo with jihyun because the latter is filled with hatred and violence. he isnt fit for any romantic relationship at all. but a "what if" situation could work for me because if Chiwoo confronted Jihyun's feelings then it could habe changed their future even just a little. Im happy for Chiwoo and Kyujin. Just like Chiwoo, i also hope that thoigh therenare acts that are unforgivable, Jihyun could redeem himself and grow to be a better person than his father. im just glad Jihyun still has a big brother looking out for him.
I'm Yours, Blood and Soul
Satisfying even until the end. It’s funny how even until the end, the vampire is held ‘hostage’ by the devil. Be it his blood or his soul, just like the title. Even so, the author made it that the devil is loyal and not some sort of manipulative bastard who keeps undermining his lover (even if it somehow looks like that). God be damned, that bittersweet end made the whole experience even better! This manhua really fleshed how vile humans can be and yet how valuable they are to demons

He, Him & Us
For one thing, the art is phenomenal. The plot is dragging and is mostly dialogue. It's frustrating and tends to victim blame. It has family issues and foreboding obsessive-possessive traits that endagers life. Personally, I feel like the characters blab on and on redundantly which makes the art fade in the background even if its beautiful. The overall plot is great though. It gives you a healthy premature end where the MC is freed from a potentially more toxic relationship.
Painter of the Night(Yahwacheop)
Reals peeps be popping in my head while reading this. Just the faces, mind you. Cause if you know Lee Jongsuk from VIP, kinda fits Seonho... And with the soft look and tearful face, someone from a disbanded boy group be popping in my head as well. Hahaha exquisite art and intriguing storyline! S1 tends to lay the groundwork and the real thing must be occuring on the next season. I doubt we'll see Na-kyum cry less in the future.

Forget incest. The uke will be bullied, abused, and raped just because a jealous brat isn't honest with his feelings.
Ouroboros
A certain "upright" person pissed me off. Nonetheless, I drained my tears for Tatsuya's tsundere sacrifices and Ikou's repressed suffering. They're bonded by one person, yet through her, they became more than just revenge. I'm just sad for Tatsuya because he really bound himself to Ikou while Ikou, in his repressed state, lived a life having people who love him and care for him. I know Ikou is actually the main protagonist and for obvious reasons I pity Tatsuya's underworld isolation. But thinking about it, Tatsuya also had loyal followers, a tsundere police officer who saves him HAHAHA and Ikou, who chose him regardless. They truly are the Ouroboros ️ best two days of my life!
