Back to School

Complete | Oryu | 2019 released

I actually like these kind of ukes, tough but loving on the inside. I loved the artwork (Chiwoo is just yummmm), and the characters Chiwoo and Jihyun (although hes the bad guy). Their characters gelled well with the plot. The story picked up for me after about halfway through, it was quite engaging then on, and I especially like it towards the end. It wasnt rushed and it was a proper conclusion tying into everything that happened with the 3 characters so far. The only thing that bugged me was the character Kyujin. He was a bit too puppy lovey and childish for the setting. I dont mind it, I actually love those, but in this plot and with the other more mature characters, it kind of clashed with the story and what the author was trying to convey. Overall, a great story... and lucky me the side story is already out.

Complete | Bopul | 2018 released

Cute short medium length story.

Film Emperor's Reincarnation Script

Complete | | 2000 released

It's a nice story. I really liked the artwork, but after about 100 chapters or so, there seems to have been a slight change in the art theme which I am not a big fan of. Its an interesting read, regarding a body swap, revenge and their day to day lives.

19 Days

Ongoing | Old Xian | 2014 released

Hilarious manga which showcases a group of young boys as they go about their daily lives. they might show a tough shell on the outside, but the funny and cute bromance moments really give this manga a lot of character. The artist does a great job of portraying their expressions, which adds a lot to the comic skit. Its refreshing.

A Shoulder to Cry On

Complete | Dongmul | 2000 released

I had trouble with the story delivery at times, a bit disjointed at certain times, but it did keep me engaged and I am glad I read it till the end. The story is realistic, with some deep rooted issues and trauma that they overcome. There inner struggles and insecurities are relatable and are highlighted beautifully. Love the art style, it really suited the mood. Nice short story, looking forward to more of this author's works in the future.

For Your Love

Ongoing | Park Nodeok | 2017 released

After a break from BL, I am glad I wound up with this one. The story is very cute, this one guy trying to set up two other guys cz he cant stand unrequited love. The dialogues are very well written and natural, and the whole ordeal is just hilarious. I especially love the comments below some of the panels, reflecting the same funny thoughts I have in my head when Im reading this. The artist has done a great job showing their expressions... like really cracks me up in some places :D

Last Paradise

Complete | GAL-BI | 2017 released

Season 1 - Started off very fluff, and I had a little difficulty connecting with the story although it had very nice artwork, but around ch 10, there was a curveball and it drew me in, and took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I dont wanna spoil anything but there should be more stories like this, and this should be getting more attention. Stuff like this happens in real life too.

The Story About You x Me

Complete | wangcaideju,atias | 2000 released

The story starts off quite funny. But I did have some trouble engaging with the story in the beginning. However, I am glad I stayed for the second half, as it got really interesting and even funnier, if you can imagine that. The story shows realisitc inner workings of someone discovering they are in love, and its nice to walk along with these two, as they realize what they are feeling. The innocence, the teenage mentality is portrayed amazingly along with some well written dialogue. Keep an eye our for the comic details in the panels.
