kei_k's manga / #Family(122)

start/fin: 05/22/19 *I love it so much.. The pacing, the plot, the characters.. Ryou's is more complex of course.. To think he even slept with his aunt (/stepmom) just to get back at his uncle (/stepdad) and cousin (/stepbro).. I guess some people look for that "something" even they don't know of, so they go around in circles doing things even though they get them in trouble... Anyway, I liked that Ryou didn't really force himself on Yuuichi.. But even so, he was a bit forward, and I liked that he himself knew that what he did could've troubled Yuuichi and he was being remorseful about it. He wasn't as pushy as the other seme who just keep on torturing their uke to get what they want. Yuuichi is just too precious for both Ayumu and Ryou. I liked their relationship, especially 'cos Ayumu was similar to how Ryou was, or rather, how Ryou wanted to be when he was a kid. Yuuichi is simply a lifesaver... So yeah, even though Ryou's past is something I personally dislike (like sleeping around regardless of the person, even though he/she's taken), the narrative in this story is very convincing that it made me understand his POV more, which led me to accept why he did all those things. I'm just glad he was truly a changed man and didn't resort to going back to his old ways after meeting Yuuichi and after they had a "fight" sort of.. If it were another seme, he'd probably f*ck around someone else to prove a point or whatever, which is totally unnecessary. I also liked that the "marrying a woman" wasn't dragged longer and they quickly resolved how it wouldn't exactly help.. Anyway, I'm just babbling whatever but in the end, I just love this so much. *Btw, Ayumu and Kazuya.. I mean.. um.. Can I expect something years later? lol

start/fin: 05/22/19 LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! I just wish I've read more about the start of Kazuma and Chiaki's relationship. They're seriously couple goalsss! <3 edit: apparently, there IS a prequel! YAY! Prequel: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/itsuka_koi_ni_naru_made/

start: 04/15/20 FIN: 04/19/20 ----- CH 291 @ ZINMANGA Translations aside, I guess this manhua really wanted to incorporate a lot of tropes (one night stand, campus couple, workplace romance, showbiz, etc) but ultimately with the gods & devils. It's not perfect, especially 'cos the translations hurt my brain a lot, but I somehow managed to weave the story in my head to make it seem as smooth as possible so yeah.. Just have to learn to adapt (especially with the names changing a lot, e.g. ML's name in the beginning was Feng Ye Ti but later on became Feng Lie, Athena > Ya Dian Na (I guess translator literally just translated in per character instead of as a whole, same with Aphrodite > A Fuo Lo Di Te (there even was a time that it was A Fuo Ming Di Te lol), etc. ps. I really appreciated how devoted ML was to FL, seeing him being straightforward and decisive that he only wants the FL despite a lot of female wannabes.. He never even gave them the chance. He's that decisive. Save for that time when he broke up with her to "protect" her and let her live a normal life (he's afraid that when he transforms again, he might not be able to control himself again and hurt her), where he let that other woman accompany him to the party (though he basically ignored her and told her straight that she didn't have a chance with him.). Thank goodness he never really gave her up though 'cos he was always protecting her in the shadows. And thank goodness for FL confronting this problem head on, and ready to do what it takes to be with him again. Well, in the beginning, ML was truly overbearing, but it's satisfying to see how he reacted to himself when he was trying to recover his lost human memories (like, he was literally ready to fight himself for his bad behavior towards FL lol).. Really appreciated FL's bravery and determination as well, so things ended really well. Yeyyy~

start/fin: 10/11/20 Loved it so much. It's not even BL but their friendship is just so pure and precious. It makes me want to see them together for real, but that would take a lot more time since they're just discovering more about themselves as they spend more time together (and apart). Well, whatever, since it's open-ended, I'll just imagine they're already together in the last panel. :p

start//end: 08/29/20 warning: OPEN ENDING NOOOOOO HOW IS IT DONE ALREADYYYY? I WANTED MOOOORE! I WISH I READ THIS SOONER. I DUNNO, UGHHHH.. SO MANY TEARS SHED FOR THIS WEBTOON, BUT NO, I DIDN'T CRY! THEY JUST DROPPED BY THEMSELVES WHILE I WAS READING. T_T ANYWAY, THANK GOODNESS IT WASN'T TRAGIC IN THE END BUT I WANTED MORE! I LOVED THEIR RELATIONSHIP, SERIOUSLY. I STARTED READING THIS THINKING I'LL GET MANY DOKIDOKI MOMENTS BUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP'S PRETTY INNOCENT AND REALLY MORE OF BROTHERHOOD AT THIS POINT. NO ROMANTIC FEELINGS BETWEEN THEM HAVE REALLY BEEN DROPPED, BUT THIS IS THE KIND OF FOUNDATION I'D WANT FOR A RELATIONSHIP. SOMETHING TRIED AND TESTED WITH TIME AND ALL THOSE HARDSHIPS... AHHHHHHHH REALLY, THEY'RE ADORABLE KIDS.
