well shit's manga / #EYES:OPEN(168)

One of my favourite bl romcoms easily LMAO its so fucking wild and silly its genuinely an enjoyable read i had way too much fun reading this, shit had me laughing my ass off. Its has the most silliest misunderstanding plot, truly just a lighthearted hehe haha story plus the second hand embarrassment author cooked is INSANEBDHDHHE the amount of times i had to exit browser and scrolled through twitter to exit the humiliation was way too muchehdhejjejj oh my god its so fucjing funny But real talk, even as a romcom, the plot and characters are so good. I love the couple’s silly dynamic, taemoon being this rlly sensitive, overthinking ml while seonwoo just has cums for brains thats 100% chill with being an exclusive fuck buddy is such a recipe to dramatic disaster had this been some angsty story and bc this is a romcom the hilarity of it all is so fun to read LMAO. Taemoon wanting them to have a normal couple “pacing” not realising hes lowkey balls to the wall crazy for seonwoo is fucking hilarious like my boy seonwoo is just as confused as u are with the push and pull signaldhhdhdj ah theyre so stupid its so fucking funny. Author and artist is such a dream team duo, the comedy hits everytime and the characters are just so lovable. The magnum opus chapter is hands down when taemoon met seonwoo’s parents. The conversation they had after seonwoo left to grab icecream is so warm and heartfelt i kind of teared up, especially knowing how much it means to taemoon to hear them willing to try and love him just like they would their own son. Found family!!!!!!!!!!! And the parental love taemoon has long deserved!!! Its so sweet!!!!! One of the best parent meeting chapters in bl :’) seonwoo’s mom prepping side dishes for taemoon is the cherry on top seriously. God what a good story sensing the slight miscommunication drama in s3 and im looking forward to how the silly couple is gonna work thru that lol, taemoon just has to let go of cringe and be more verbal like babe i promise u communication works wonders matter of fact just embrace cringe and be a sap, bc deep down u ARE!!! my gawd; men! Seonwoo lowkey the buoyant in keeping the relationship afloat whew my boy just drops romantic reassurances and affirmations like its nothing making it all work with silly ass wikihow good for him! I hope moscareto and akdong work together for many many more projects in the future, just straight up bangers from these two. Lowkey rlly hope this gets a kdrama lol i can def see this translated into that media, the whole atmosphere and vibe is already there, god i hopeeee

THE ANGSTY HEART BREAKING POTENTIAL IS THERE!!!!!!!! Mc whos gone through the fucking wringer for 50 yrs is sent back to his current teenage time line with no will to live and is just waiting for his death but enters his first love and slowly his bleak waiting days starts to have some colour??? girl that is a recipe to the most mind numbing angst one can think of and i hope hope hopeeeeee the author delivers!!!! I love the tone and atmosphere of the story, the narration makes it really convincing that the mc has gone through shit bc it just sounds so tired and depressed, like hes genuinely done and over it. His discrepancies in his memories makes sense too especially since its been so long and he cant understand why haejung is being so clingy to him, it adds that layer of unreliable narration into the the brewing angst pot which im 100% down for!!!!!! The overall plot and overarching theme has a lot of potential to expand and i hope the author does it justice, it doesnt have to be as well written as mission save the hunter (which is Peak writing btw), i think covering mc’s detached feelings and grief (+ chara growth) in depth would make it rlly good already. A commenter pointed out that this whole story/narrative reads like a rlly personal diary recollection of the mc (where the 100 days has passed) and i think that adds to the heavy, bittersweet atmosphere as well. The art isnt the best at translating the visual language but i think its okay since the selling point of the story is rllly the narration of it. Its quite literally carrying the story rn lol i wonder if theres a novel it adapted from bc if so i’d just jump into there immediately! All in all, solid characters, beginnings and premise, rlly hope the art improves and the story delivers that sweet angsty blow!

yessir its another hunter bl story!!! theres solid potential here omg omg love how mc is just vibing at a hangover soup shop, thats so cute. the fighting sequence and the art rendering looks so damn good, can easily pass off as a shounen. Looks really promising!!!! Im rlly excited for this!!!!!! The couple dynamic is very reminiscent of mission save the hunter lol and imma eat it!!!!!!!!!! Black cat x clingy puppy couples I AM SEATED!!!!

My new hyperfixation i can feel it seeping into my brain and taking hold of it like remy did in ratatouille oh m yogd……………. Established relationship + amnesiac plot line u are always my numero uno and this author takes it up a notch and gives us a rofan historical background with it OHHHHHHH author i will kiss u brain. I need the novel mtl so badly, thats how intrigued i am with the plot. Its so fucking solid!!!!!!!!!!!!! The unreliable narrative we have as our mc works so well bc of his lost memories especially with his dynamic with gjord. The established relationship tag isnt boring matter of fact it feels so refreshing bc like sylhan we’re falling for gjord all over again. Hes such a devoted lover like girl that man sat down and went straight to business with snipping sylhan’s toenails that man is in LOVE. Its so intimate and sweet im so obsessed with that scene. And because sylhan goes through the fucking wringer with lister’s fuckass attitude, everytime gjord shows up i feel so much relief like thank the heavens your pretty ass is here PLEASE sweep your hard working twink away and elope PLEASE PLEASEEEEEEEER never have i hated an antagonist this badly before… last time i was this much of a hater it was those fuckass evil characters in pearl boy WHEW. My blood pressure…….. im genuinely so damn curious on what went down in sylhan’s backstory and how him and gjord met im soooooooooo invested, seriously this is gonna be like crack to me. And i know the mc whump is gonna get worst and worst so whew im gonna ready myself and let it marinate bc fellow fujos,,,,, we’re about to see a masterpiece unfold rn. We have gorgeous beautiful art, wonderful colours, panels planned and written to high heavens and a plot so good im about to dive into the mtl!!!!!!!!!!!! Author and artist did their damn fucking thang here and give the girlies more and beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

LETS FUCKING GO TOXIC YAOI oh that evil ass dirty talk/dialogue was hot as hell i know author about to cook in this one

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!!!!!!!!!!!!
