well shit's manga / #ANATOMY HOLY SHIT(128)

December

Complete | samk,merig | 2021 released

Yeah gonna give my thoughts after all the sides come out bc it was a decent read with a gorgeous art style, its just the pacing for the climax was way too rushed and the facial expressions especially shin’s is way too apathetic, it made certain high emotional scenes feel really lackluster bc he seems so unaffected by it lol. BUT these aside, i do enjoy the pacing for the romance. I think seeing yeonwoo’s reservations in opening up to shin and shin trying to overcome yeonwoos walls were developed rly well. But yeah thats the only upside for it. Had lots of high expectations for this bc in the beginning i ADORE the slow burn, the muted atmosphere and the gorgeous panels/story boarding, the character close ups when they contemplate or interact with anything is so well done, especially the hands omg artist popped off so hard with the hands i love them so much……. it made me excited to see an abo that carried a chill/muted atmosphere, im just disappointed on how the plot developed and how up until the ending, it didnt feel like yeonwoo got justice at all. Shin’s character was really flat and the whole overarching situation of alphas getting away scot free (amplified with how shins friends said if ppl complain about shin whos an awakened alpha, then all alphas are gonna get shit as well and they want to maintain that = nothing was addressed about how shit that is) felt so anticlimatic bc how will yeonwoo get justice for this. It would have felt so liberating if yeonwoo was the one who put the nail in sungkyuns(?) coffin. Heck, i would have felt satisfied if shin atleast acknowledged to kangho that theyre all fucked bc of the same reasons and law loopholes they admire and uphold so much. Their excessive freedom is also their own undoing. And sure in a way i guess that was what happened but i want shin himself to say it!!!! The way his friends delivered it felt so scummy it left a weird taste in my mouth lmao. Bc now it feels like,, shin is like any other alpha who does whatever he wants (in good faith) without considering what yeonwoo wants. Idk it just felt iffy there, and their bonding could def expand more intimately to counter that iffiness but bc there wasnt a scene where they delve deep in each others insecurities/emotions (yeonwoos trauma and shins conflicting feelings at being an awakened alpha) it made everything feel rly flat bc greatness could have happened with this!!!!!!! Its such a shame…….. ☹️☹️ Idk i feel like for creating yeonwoos character whos faced such a traumatic thing, not acknowledge his assaulters demise (no scene of relief that theyre finally gone even) and the alpha system that fucked everyone over isnt addressed in its unfairness (by shin atleast bc hes an alpha!! Whos seen how it fucked over yeonwoo!!) makes me feel .. zero relief and happiness for yeowoo .. it just feels so lackluster like why do i feel wronged in yeonwoos stead LMAO. And PLEASE god i know shin is supposed to be this aloof and cool ml but good lord give the man some facial muscles to give the audience some flavour of an expression other than serving a rbf that frustrated me too at one point lol. Oh well, it started off really promising yet ended quite,,, hm…. Okay i guess ? it was alright…… i hope the sides cover some of the things i wailed about…. I want more emotional, intimate communication between shin and yeonwoo PLEASE i beg… dont fade it to black and give crumbs of that scene in the form of a flashback TTTTT just give me that and i’ll be happy i swear seriously

Yatamomo

Complete | harada | 2014 released

the simplicity in the art style and fluidity in its pacing,, everything is just so masterfully done, harada is truly goated. The ending/resolution doesnt feel tacky or rushed,, as long as momo finds peace and love in himself and with yata then thats all that matters. His ending with his mom felt just right too. They both deserve to move on TT Its an unconventional love story where things are best left tastefully ambiguous but the certainty in how yatamomo love each other is so sweet and tender TT yata was so understanding with momo’s way of coping and momo’s relapsing but wanting to try and be better and more emotionally open with yata was so touching TTT so much depth and care was put into creating these characters. it really unveiled like a movie, definitely gonna stick with me for a long time. Big 10/10 and kudos to harada! (Cant get enough with how beautiful their linework is GAHHH that madlad,, the sensual intimacy depicted in the way yatamomo’s anatomy interacted with each other… momo’s expressions in their sex scenes,, so cute and pretty TTT love the way he blushes so much aaa ily author)

Complete | Mintran ,doojja | 2019 released

i HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading this in batoto bc the insightful and mature discussions between all the readers there in each chapter was so fun to read and this story DESERVES to be dissected and discussed about bc it rlly feels like a parallel to our own gender and sexual identity issues in society. And its presented in such a raw and honest way, author really meticulously wrote this with their heart. Yes the satirical omegaverse tropes was hilarious in the beginning but then the parallels to the real world started to hit and its just heart wrenching atp bc its being told by our beta mc who is both so flawed yet open to learning the world around him despite his own insecurities and anxiety of being a beta vs the other alphas and omegas. He is such a complex and real character, all of the other characters are tbh, they all feel solid and vivid and real and its such a joy to read a mc who has a good sense of boundaries and is firm with it too even with the love interest. Its just so fucking well written man even the way author presented his flawed stereotypical misconception of alphas and omegas was so well done too, it all just boiled down to his low sense of self as a beta and his desire to protect himself from the mess of it all. Hes just so damn human. And dont get me started on the love interest/s MY GOODNESS. The arc with gido where they both admitted that they did have feelings for each other but was too scared to act on it was the most heart breaking thing ever. Right person wrong time with so much to lose :( and author once again delivered!! Bc instead of it turning complicated, they both accepted that with how they went about it, it probably wouldnt have turned out well. And accepted that both their feelings for each other have passed. And i was so shocked reading this arc bc it was resolved so gracefully like two actual adults who genuinely care for the other person. It was so good bc i started to root for sihyeon bc why he feeling like the second ml rn LMAO OHH sihyeon. Sihyeons character was so so fun and sweet and the greenest of greens. Hes absolutely smitten with mc and is SO patient in deconstructing the misconception mc has of the other genders. I fucking love him so much. Its funny bc at one point, the story rlly felt like an in depth deep dive study of mc. I want to study him under a microscope. Hes just so well written??? The magnum opus of mcs without a doubt. He knows what he wants and he knows his limits. To see him burnt out, stressed with his work environment and his ambiguous feelings for his boss who is pursuing him, he called it quits and said Yep off to hawaii we go. AND GOOD FOR HIM. IM SO HAPPY he actually got to have a break and went vacationing by himself. We actually FINALLY see a character who puts himself first in his mental health. Reading him is the most satisfying feeling ive ever felt for a character. Such a professional worker as well. I adore him. Now. Im gonna ignore the hell out of the 4 side stories bc honestly heetae is beyond redeemable. He was absolute SHIT towards his spouse. Just wack ass dookie behaviour and im SO happy to see mc telling the spouse to divorce him. The spouse’s divorce dialogue was such a satisfying read. (Personally i would have aborted the baby and sent the abortion results to heetae and his mom ALONG with the divorce papers. Thatd be well deserved) what i Hated was how it felt like author didnt develop spouse’s character at all?? Like WHY did it end that way. My wishful thinking is hoping tht theyre just on amicable terms for the child and are DIVORCED!!! They have to be bc author just created a fucking masterpiece of a character social study and world building with the mc perceiving how awful they both were only for the ending to be?? Happy?? For those two??? CMON MAN????? it makes the journey we went through with mc (of boundaries and self discovery and understanding and moving on!!!!) feel like nothing!!!!!!!!!! We wasted 4 chapters LMAO But yknow what its still a good fucking read. Those extras wont ruin the experience and feelings i have for this story. Author really left no stone of mc’s feelings untouched we really went in so deep with mc’s character development AH its just so so fucking good. And another thing that made this so fun to read as well is how oblivious mc is with his attractiveness. The absolute RIZZ master without knowing. The little love triangle mc had with sihyeon and weonyi was so fucking funny LMAO the misunderstandings was just so fun!!!! And mc is just such a likable guy!!! Charisma and professionalism off the roofs!! No wonder he had 3 ppl falling for him lmao (at one point i was completely down for this to turn poly sihyeonxmcxweonyi LMAO but alas) its just so damn good man. It raised the bar for bl mcs so high. Sometimes!!! Bl mcs dont need to be a pushover to keep the romance moving!!! Expand the world and character relationships!!! Please!!!! I’d do anything to have another bl with a mc like juhyeok…. Truly Deserves an anime adaptation. Easily the magnum opus of bls. Author is absolutely GOATED.

Koi wo Suru Tsumori wa Nakatta

Complete | SUZUMARU Minta | 2019 released

Author draws the most stunning anatomy and is absolutely stellar when incorporating it into intimate/sexual scenes. Its so natural and sexy AH im obsessed. And yoshino is such a natural (unknowing lol) homme fatale, rou is lucky that he got him first bc if i were in the damn manga i would have been on my knees begging for yoshino’s hand in marriage IMMEDIATELY. Hes SO pretty, so elegant and sooooo mature too!!!! SUCH AN EYE CANDY RAHHH!!!!!!!! Big 10/10 just from how yoshino is written/drawn, he is so stunning. Such a beauty. I can go on forever about how pretty and elegant he is AUGHHH but real talk,,,, yoshino deserves better LMAO would have loved if he had gotten a shameless golden retriever ml instead. But oh well! Love the author and their art, always a fan but one gripe i always have is their mls LMAO oh well!! The little train detail where rou liked him first and have been observing him is makes up for it a bit ig, so all is good.. as long as my pretty babygirl yoshino is happy thats all that matters TT
