well shit's manga / #❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤(196)

Went into this expecting that the redemption/growth arc of the ml is gonna be one chapter long and mc’s backbone to be nonexistent but im actually pleasantly surprised that im wrong??????? WOOHOO!!!!! Favourite chapter is 52 and the arc after LMAO garam clocked jaehyuk’s ass with a swiftness. A ritual killing. And i fucking loved it!!!!!!! Had that man banished from their rooms and wallowing in homoerotic gay yearning so strong it rewired his entire brain LMAO. Seriously jaehyuk is peak boyfailure. Stupidly loud, spoiled and an enormous fucking loser, doing all sorts of gift giving and aftercare to his fuck buddy and claims its all no homo like alright man yawn whatever thank fuck he gathered his shit together bc him begging his mom for that tteokbokki sponsorship and lying about the apartment all bc he wants to impress garam is INSANE. HILARIOUS EVEN his growth arc was so satisfying to see, he deserves to bumble around like an idiot getting his ass read to filth by garam lol put him through the wringer idc!!!!!! Thats what he gets lol I do hope author addresses and puts jaehyuk in the angst blender for all the bigoted slurs shit he said lmao, like thats the only elephant in the room rn. And ppl saying garam is being mean and angry for no reason is wild my boy got thrown hateful homophobic slurs and gets confessed to by the same guy who threw them and u expect him to just be all flowers and rainbows about it???? Their whole entire situation was casual and goodluck babe by chapell roan personified shit was roughdhdhd. Especially knowing glimpses of garam’s past, its completely understandable for him to be guarded, valid even lol. Im surprised author didnt have garam call out on jaehyuk’s bigoted bullshit like hes the one eager for a dick appointment when its jaehyuk thats always pushing him for it lmao. Jaehyuk deserves to get his head hit with a hammer of humility and truth bc cmon man atp youre at LEAST bi. And its okay!!!!!!!! I hope garam points it out so that jaehyuk feels shitty about it lol. Thats the only flaw this story has rn. Jaehyuk character growth and development into a dick hater to a dick muncher? Yes. Is he redeemed? Not really lol. If author does something about that then easily this will be one of the magnum opuses of an enemies to lovers bl lol EASILY!!!!!! Art is great, it improved so much and the pacing is decent. Romantic chemistry is definitely there and the dynamic is a hilarious straight x gay enemies to lovers classic lmao. Had way too much fun binging this story in one go i HOPEEEE jaehyuk continues to be put into the wringer lmao

SO FAWKING CUTE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH mc is so pretty too omg webnovel here i come!!!!

A perfect, succinct and Classic childhood friends to lovers trope with the most adorable dynamic ever. Like seriously theres no notes, author nailed it. Its so lighthearted and sweet, and what makes it so engaging and memorable despite the cliche trope is the whole atmosphere it has, its a very summery, fresh and quiet coming of age story, the fishing harbor/sea setting amplifies it more and issa’s genuine empty head personality paired with nagisa’s clumsy and bold personality makes it even better… issa just got the tism thats my bby…… love how nagisa knows issa needs clear explanation regarding things and how despite his embarrassment, nagisa tries to deliver it as best as he can and issa soaks it in so wholeheartedly, its all just so fucking earnest and clumsy and cute omg the communication is top tier as well, i love how fresh and new the love feels too, its so endearingly clumsy at how theyre both figuring things out. I think what makes it so nice is there isnt rlly a big declaration of love? Like the love has always been there since the beginning, quietly growing and they both knew that, are aware of that, and is so comfortable with all the ambiguous touching, its very befitting with the childhood friends dynamic!!!!!!! And when the first kiss happened, it all clicked like a perfect puzzle and they both just Knew. Its so fucking good??? Idk the tender and relaxed atmosphere rlly carried the story for me its just so damn good omg…… Also that panel in ch4 of issa’s head in nagisa’s lap and theyre both curled into each other was so stunning, so much natural intimacy and chemistry!!!!!!!!! their source of comfort entwined with one another!!! Took my breath away seriously it captured their dynamic so well…. AND DONT FORGET THE LITTLE PENGUIN WADDLE THEY BOTH DID TOGETHER WITH NAGISAS FEET ON ISSAS omg… One of the best intimate and natural anatomy interactions ive seen for sure..… the pacing, anatomy, dynamic and dialogue, everything, author rlly nailed it!!!!!!! Theyre so good in writing very muted, tender love stories with a mature, sort of ambiguous atmosphere to it, i love it so much… author my goat.. give them their deserved flowers and adaptations…

I love the chasing arc so fucking much in this omg, love how straight forward and to the point jun is especially when he sat yoonseul down to ask if he likes him to which yoonseul said he didnt and jun just replies “alright thanks for telling me” and leaves like wow?? i find that so refreshing it gagged me a bit ngl lol like he rlly just left from that encounter with so much grace and zero confusion of whats going on (or hope in what Could go on) between them two. just 100% eye opening clarity and i love that for him ( the angst of it all) LMAO The trope where the situationship slash cishet guy isnt ready to fully commit and realises that hes about to fumble the best thing in his life is such a solid conflict that i will love EVERYTIME!!!! I eat it up always LMAO heemins reality check talk to yoonseul is one of my favourites in here too like that shit was honest to god scripture lol “okay now imagine that guy loving someone else, you twiddled ur thumbs too long and missed ur chance, he doesnt like you anymore and you have no place in his heart anymore. They go their way and you never see them again” and it cuts to yoonseul looking so pathetically distraught its sad and hilarious all at the same time it was so good to see him wet puppy his way back into jun’s good graces LMAO ahhh i love it….. so cathartic lol especially that scene where he waited hours in front of the bakery, just being full of himself thinking its all going to plan LMAO i just love it!!!!!! I wouldve loved it even more if there was a timeskip and its yoonseuls turn instead to pine over jun lol he deserves it!! Pathetic loser regretful yearning fumbling loser of a ml i love u so much…….. shoutout to that final few chapters too where yoonseul just grows anxious at the misunderstanding he has between jun and min’s boyfriend that he just runs down the stairs, falls and bawls his eyes out at jun LMAO ah… so pathetic and maiden hearted… my stupid baby…his obsession and possessiveness just igniting and spiraling each time on full blast is rlly the cherry on top for me lol just borderline yandere and a clingy loser god i adore him dearly LMAO him being jealous at every single thing is so fun to see, but i was rlly rooting for dongha(?) to atleast bag jun as a queer friend, it would have been so sweet and such a fun subplot im sad it didnt go through uwaaaaa yoonseul u bitter petty bitch lmao like damn relaxdbndnd aint no one taking ur guy away from u its always straight to crazy eyes for yoonseul no in between no nothing its so fucking funnybdbdb AND i wouldve loved to see some of heemins love life like girl i refuse to believe that man is straight that is a TWINK!!! Pls be serious author he has the lashes and sultry eyes of a gay, homoerotic victorian man Anyway its a really fun read, beginning arc was deliciously angsty with all the drama/conflict flags yoonseul planted on himself then shooting his own foot by fumbling everything lmao jun’s straight forward and blunt attitude is so refreshing and fun to see it rlly matches with yoonseuls bullshit head on very satisfyingly LOL. their lighthearted romance after just finishes everything up rlly well, nothing too crazy, it was rly solid! Sex was cute and the sweet talk was adorable theyre so in love lol. Their chibis are soooo cute too ahhh !!!! what a fun read…. Yoonseul is such a freak but hey atleast hes juns freak and thats all that matters lmao good for them!!!!!!!! Their chibis are so fucking cute too!! God i love this dynamic and trope ah teary eyed pathetic puppy ml and level headed charismatic mc whos weak for it my bread and butter!!!!!!!!! definitely one of the more satisfying payoffs/ chasing arc for this kind of ‘cishet ml (or is he) chases sweet mc whos thisclose to dumping him and damn near fumbles mc each time time’ trope lol Also the title is so funny too yoonseol is so fucking lucky hes the main ml bc boy you would have just been the second ending had u kept ur shit up, damn near became history and a big learning curve chapter in juns life LMAO. a very solid 10/10 thank u author u did it right!!!! lowkey need a bingyuan au of this….

OH I FAWKING LOVE THIS SO MUCH OH MY GOD?????????????? The silly slapstick comedy in the misunderstandings and the overarching plot is so fucking good??? I love how both the mc and ml have a very entwined plot with each other and the buildup in the romance is just chefs kiss!!!!!!!! Im obsessed with the pacing and panelling as wel everything is done so damn well!!!!!!!!!! Dont get me started in the way author handled ennid’s rising attraction to glunn especially with his conservative upbringing. Glunn’s understanding in ennids anxiety in sexuality is executed so considerately and sensitively i just fucking love it especially their conversation around it???? Plus The chemistry is off the roofs too AHHH i just love it so much!! The world building and its politics is really solid as well like im rlly curious to who casted that curse on glunn, varagus’ play in the overall plot and the relevance of the potion that reveals ones future spouse. Lots of the plot is moving and i just cant wait for everything to click together. MAN Everything is just A+ every chapter, i hope i hope i hope the ending is satisfying and wraps up all the loose ends nicely! I hve so much high hopes for it bc so far all the minor little plot points are addressed (even IM SHOCKED) so im hoping that ending SLAPS!!!!! Like i genuinely had such a great time reading this. What a damn gem. The couple dynamic is so fucking adorable too ennid and glunn are just in their own little world :’) glunn is just so head over heels for ennid and their sexual tension is at a boiling point… i cant WAIT when they start getting freaky……but yeah the increasing angst flags with glunns poison dragon blood/selected mate and other conflicts is brewing too so thats rlly exciting!? I hope it hurts lol. GOD Its just so damn good i rlly cant wait anymore i need to read the novel now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously no notes this is a perfect childhood friends to lovers trope the little cliche conflict, the constant communication, the earnest love, everything was done so well, author cooked lol. The artstyle and panels are so beautiful too. Seriously, its such a nice, feel good, lighthearted and well written childhood to lovers love story. Their couple dynamic is adorable too, love how maturely they progressed in each stage of their relationship. The confession and revelation all are done so nicely. No unnecessary drama whatsover!!! Their coming out to their moms and ao’s lil sister was done quite sensitively too? Ao’s convo with ryouta’s mom was rlly rlly good too, i love that when ao apologised how he couldnt give her a grandchild, her reply was just “well seems like u gotta visit us more often then” and i find that such a nice reply??? Something in my asian lil heart healed at how Easy ryouta’s mom’s solution to it. Its so nice…. Idk Its just always refreshing to see authors Explicitly and considerstely approach asian queer experiences and topics in their stories rather than reducing the characters feelings to “i only feel this way to u and no other guy” kind of thing. The added nuance makes it rlly enjoyable and memorable to me personally lol And dont get me started on the proposal!!! Its so fucking sweet, nothing grand, just an impromptu lil thing by the bridge/street but it still packs enough of a romantic punch bc of how sweet and earnest their dialogue and narration was. Love how they immediately stopped bu the civil hall LOL good for them!!!! very soulmate behaviour!! i love how the atmosphere the author kept throughout the story. Very muted, natural and mature in all their interactions and dialogue. Their silhouettes and intimacy flows so naturally with each other. ryouta’s such an adorable ml with an even attractive moe gap when it comes to ao. Hes so earnest and devoted, i love him so much his personality bounces off so well with ao’s more upbeat and steadfast personality :’) usually with extrovert mc x introvert ml theres always some kind of comical loudness to the story and beat, but this is just so nice and quiet and muted? It doesnt do Too much. It just feels rlly nostalgic and carries a sweet coming of age tinge to it in their romance that ive come to rlly love!!! Author excelled in the atmosphere a lot!!!! Seriously, i have nothing else to say but praises. Its vanilla and the perfect kind of vanilla that isnt too bland. A very sweet and addicting vanilla!!!! Saw a comment that described this story/couple perfectly “dont you love it when the childhood friends to lovers are so intertwined with e/o its giving Anyone you meet will have to know me in order to understand You” AND THEYRE RIGHT!!! its that feeling exactly with ao and ryouta!!!! And author captured that feeling so fucking well!!! i know for sure im gonna reread this LMAO. So happy theres gonna be a 3rd volume :3c im rlly enjoying the slice of lifeness!!! Hope it gets an anime or drama adaptation soon!!
