otakulys's manga / #drama(419)

Dude, I hate Jun SO MUCH. He's such a selfish piece of shit. He didn't even think of Kangjin that entire time, like he totally forgot about him and didn't regret how cruel he was. He never apologized or anything. I hate this because you know they're gonna legit fall back in love and get together, but I want Jun to actually fall in love and then have his heart destroyed. He's awful. The story focuses so much on him and his hardships, but why the hell are we expected to care? He did something horrible and never even felt bad about it. Even after seeing what he did to him, Jun is just like, oh no, he's seeing me at a low point! Screw you, Jun. It's so unsatisfying right now at chapter 16, but if Jun really gets what's coming to him, I'll raise my score for the manga. EDIT: I still hate Jun. I don't care if he finally apologized in chapter 22. It was such a weird, lame, flat apology after what he did. It's like he didn't even give a crap that whole time. But according to the comments, I'm the only person who feels this way, so I guess I'll just have to vent by myself. Break his stupid heart, Kangjin! EDIT: So he didn't end up with either guy, which was an interesting choice, but wtf was with that ending? "Yay, I'm getting discharged!" THE END. We don't get any other hints as to how his life is going? It felt like an afterthought, like okay, Jun has accepted he doesn't love him anymore, Chisoo has accepted they can never be together, so he's not important anymore. I think really the author just got tired of drawing it or something, because the ending seems tacked on. Maybe originally he was supposed to die. I'd almost prefer that because this feels kind of cheap. But okay. Whatever. At least Jun never got what he wanted. I'm also glad Chisoo never lost it and went after them, which is what I thought might happen. I'm glad I skipped a good portion of this, though. It doesn't feel like anything ever truly resolved.

Seme is a dick for 23 chapters, gets his happy ending regardless. I wish it had focused more on the guy having to hurt due to his own selfishness, but I swear the shitty semes never have to suffer for long, if at all. I also don't get it in the sense that he was so girl crazy. He's bisexual at the very least, and Kota was straight. So why is it Kota who's all touchy feely for him and uninterested in girls? I just felt like it should have touched on all of that more. It wrapped up so simply, and I wanted to punch both of them for different reasons. I guess I'll still give it a four because there we other things I liked about it, but I dunno. It's so rare for the seme to truly suffer. I think I saw it like one time, and it was super sad because he never got to even try to make up for how crappy he'd been because the uke died. Anyway, that's what he gets, I guess.

I loved this. I'll add more later.

Awwwwww! What a sweet comic! I like that it handled real life issues for lgbt people in Korea, and it basically portrayed a lot of different ways to be a guy who likes guys. I like that it also had an open, hopeful ending for some characters, where the happy ending isn't a relationship, but finding a way to make yourself ready to receive one when the time is right. Very wholesome overall, though I would have liked to see more with the parents and the whole coming out thing. But I like the way the characters all grew and changed. And I like the idea of them all being friends in the future. I think they will be. ^^

Can't say I love this. It's not the best translation, but I can tell the dialogue wouldn't be amazing anyway. It's just disjointed, rushed, and full of possessive semes with an idiotically polite uke. Like, "No, no, don't rape me! ...Oh, okay, thanks for the cocoa!" Give me a break, guy. There's no chemistry between the main pair, and there's no character development, so it's just this weird, flat story with no real intrigue. Maybe something will change as it goes, but I doubt it. On top of that, the art is pretty shitty, so yeah, I'm not here for it.

Hmmm.... Interesting so far. I was actually thinking of writing something regarding a drug that can reverse a bonded pair. I feel like this has potential to be something stronger than it is. But it's only three chapters. Maybe I'll like where it goes from here. Hopefully there'll be an update soon.

Everybody wants to fuck this poor asexual kid. This story has me torn. I can make a better decision once it's finished, but right now it's hard to say. I don't like how pushy the seme can be, though they do discuss it in ways that other BL rarely does. This story is actually about trauma. Regardless of sexual experiences or desires, the character isn't sexually attracted to people, which makes him asexual. Asexual people can still love and desire sex. I know, because I'm asexual with a high sex drive. I enjoy it and seek it out, but I don't feel sexual attraction to people. The assault part could have been way worse for yaoi. I don't know, I have a lot of mixed feelings. The art is so gorgeous, and I do like elements of this. It's unique and focuses on something very rare--the sexual abuse of a mother to a son. It seems like she's never actually touched him, but all of the stuff she does to him is definitely sexual abuse. It's so creepy. Poor baby. Just the first two volumes out now, but hopefully the third will come soon.

Aw, a very sweet little story. I'm really happy about the secondary couple, too. I was hoping from the start, as I'm sure many others were. But I almost feel like this needs a sequel to expand more on everything. Regardless, I enjoy that it doesn't do what her other work does with the misunderstandings and all that crap. It was... a little like that, but not really. It worked well enough for me. Not a perfect manga, but sweet and light with a happy ending all around.

As of 19 chapters, I'm really torn... I'm not sure I like that this guy is obviously end game. He's getting more backstory now, but he was manipulative and horrible from the start--blackmailing, almost outing the protagonist to his family more than once, all this shit. He's clearly crazy and obsessive, but I guess we're supposed to see it as devotion. Eh. The art is touch and go. Sometimes it's beautiful, sometimes people have weird little pointy chins, tiny heads, and huge, thick necks. I would give it three stars for now, but I actually like the secondary couple/throuple more than the main, so I'm in it for that. Hopefully it starts to flow a little better for me. I do really like break up and second love themes, I have to admit. Here's hoping it's satisfying in the end.
