Under 18 Elite
I've read this up to chapter three, and it's pretty weird. But hey, BFF vibes!
A Voluptuous Bullied Girl’s First Time
Kimi wa Jun'ai ni Fusawashii
Aw, poor baby. :( I like it as of chapter three, but I hope the next chapter comes soon. I hate misunderstandings, but this seems like it could resolve fairly easily. Fingers crossed!
My Childhood Friend Was a God
Definitely heartbreaking but not hopeless. He's always with him, and one day he'll die too, and maybe they'll be together. There must be a special ending for a person made exclusively for that god, so I imagine they'll be with each other after death. It definitely made me cry, though. Loving someone who you know will be gone soon is a painful thing. The comments made it sound like the story was way more dark and depressing than it was, though. It was sad and hurt, but I think eventually he'll go on to have a normal life and know that his best friend and first love is watching out for him.
Orokamono no Ai no Uta
I feel like this is one of those stories where I need to wait until it's all out so that it doesn't stress me out and depress me. I hope the way the main romance unfolds is satisfying. I hate straight guy goes gay stuff, but it's clear that's where this is going, so I'm gonna try to push the feelings aside. It could end up being great. The art is unusual and pretty. I just hope it doesn't go through endless crap with a rushed conclusion where they're together in the final chapter or few pages.
Bound to Be Fools
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.
Kimi no Sumire
Aw, that was a very sweet little manga. Nothing too complex, just a sweet little story about two boys who like each other. I would have liked more development and such, like with the other student, but that's okay. It was just a nice, simple read.
Tachi Neko
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.
Someone else's BL Manhwa
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. ^^
