Hollow Lovers

I FRECKIN GIVE THIS 1 MILLION STARS This was so awesome omg it’s now the top of my list. Both mcs were amazing. This story was very realistic, which added a nice touch to the drama and events taking place. I love the fact that the relationship progressed so naturally, from being just a bit distant to being so close, making each other a better person, growing closer even through conflicts, just overall being so dedicated to each other. I truly love how their relationship was portrayed. Unlike almost every yaoi ever, neither the uke nor seme was forced into anything. Everything was consensual. If any problems arose, they went through it together. They solved misunderstandings with conversation. They were possessive of each other, but also wished the best for each other. Truly an ideal relationship. I didn’t like that the uke moved out right as the seme finally confessed his feelings tho. That was very selfish of him, without even thinking how the seme would feel. He redeemed himself after that tho, which I liked, and stayed by the seme’s side, supporting him. He’d do anything for the seme, even going as far as tarnishing his own name and dignity, if it was for the happiness of the seme. The same is true for seme-san. Gosh, I like him. To be willing to throw away everything, especially a company that was your dream and that you’ve built with your own hands, just so you could be with your partner. Seme-san, a man committed to his uke, even to the point of being willing to abandon everything for him. Get you a man like that. One thing that was realistic, and also something I very much like about this piece, is the fact that the uke struggled so much with his sexuality. Unlike other manga that portrays it as such an easy thing to get over, this one did a fine job portraying uke’s progression through denial to complete acceptance of his sexuality and ability to be with and love a man (I could go on about this but then it’d turn into an essay). Overall, this was a very exemplar story, and I wouldn’t mind, or actually, I’d love it if it could continue. Great job to the author for bringing out such an excellent piece.

Back to School

Complete | Oryu | 2019 released

Got damn that was so heartrending omg. The amount of tears I shed for this manwha. What a rollercoaster of emotion. This is probs the second time I’ve felt this way about a manga. Jihyun that guy. I felt real bad for him, yes. Especially so after he was jailed for a murder that he didn’t commit and nobody believed him. But he needs to take responsibility for his actions. The way he was so... desperate? Attached? To choowa (freck how come I forgot the ml’s name already???) and his facial expression of hurt and all that shit. Lawd man I really felt bad for the guy. I kinda just wanted him to be happy. But friend. How did you expect everything to work out if you didn’t change your ways? What you feel for him? Ofc, there’s some love in there, but this is called obsession. You can’t keep hurting him, isolating him, and doing bad shet to the ppl who approach him, and expect that everything will always turn out fine. He’s human too, he’s not always gonna forgive you. You can’t just take advantage of his kindness like that. And then you go ahead and rape him? Nah man that’s not how we do things around here. As much as I’d like to see a scenario where the two of you are happy together, if you started going out, there wouldn’t be a happy ending. That’s just a toxic and unhealthy relationship. Neither of you would be happy. He’d be scared of your ticking time bomb personality, anxious about when you’d next explode. You’d be forever displeased about him being close to anyone other than you, or him showing even the slightest sign of not paying attention to you. That’s not good for any of you bro. You had to have realized what you were doing wrong sooner or later. I wish jinhyun can find happiness, even after all he did. Hopefully he can find someone who loves him just as much as he loves them, and they can have a healthy relationship, with him turning over a new leaf. Thankfully, after he had that final talk with chiwoo, he finally realized his mistakes and repented. Truly heartrending, that last farewell was. But please, be happy. Hopefully you’ll be able to forget about our dearest chiwoo and move on. There’s just no way you two could be together after what you did. Still honestly, I wouldn’t have been happy either if jihyun got away scot free after what he did. What’s happening to him is redemption. I still hope he can be happy though. Just not with chiwoo. Anyways, I, glad kihwon (freck I forgot his name too lmaoo) was there for chiwoo, and helped him heal. He’s a better fit for our little Cinnabon. I’m just glad that chiwoo was also finally able to move on, even a little, and not have to live in the past, because of his trauma from jihyun. I just want everyone to be happy man T_T anyways. Masterpiece of a story. 100/10. Kept me hooked from start to finish. Now time to read part 2
