well shit's manga / #EYES:OPEN(184)

OH NATORIIIIIIIII MY SHAYLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MY BEAUTIFUL SWEET EARNEST GOOD HEARTED PUPPY YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE One of bl’s magnum opuses easily just by how everythinf (EVERYTHING) is written in here i have no notes everything i just so so perfect. I adore rui’s character, hes so professional and considerate i fell in love with how his character is written in conjuction to his profession; a shibari artist and how much he loves his work and the care he puts in tying up his clients. Its so good ? Like considering his job, author didnt make it overly sexualised (which is fine either way) and instead made the approach to it so refreshing and eye opening!!! Feel like his job doesnt add any horny points into the story, just a testament to his dedication and kind heart in his character which i fucking adore??? And natori OH MY GODDDD LOVE OF MY LIFE natori my sweetest baby my earnest eyed gentle hearted beautiful puppy i wanna cry i completely understand rui’s confession when he said he loves natori so much to the point of crying like girl me too the confession scene from either of them is sooooo fucking good, the tears, the yearning, the bittersweet heartbreak at how natori doesnt see any worth in himself that could be loved and rui’s insistence that there issss and even if its a little bit he hopes natori sees it in his heart to love himself too GODDDDDDDDDDD I WANNA FUCKING YELL its all so tender and sweet and fragile and romantic. So so so romantic, im still reeling at how much natori adores rui and is even willing to bring his feelings to his grave oh my god………. These two im so happy at how rui’s character is written in response to natori’s low self esteem, hes such a real ride or die for that man (AS HE DESERVES) it makes me so happy to see natori showered with so much love and affirmation oh my godddddd The shibari play is rlly just a bonus in all of this its so sweet and romantic, it doesnt feel kinky (?) at all (again which is fine either way) it just feels so grounding and fulfilling for both parties i just enjoyed seeing them relish in their love for each other so much….. and that first meeting natori and rui had…. Natori barkinf and giving rui his paw….. AOHHHHHHHGHHH MY SHAYLAAAAAAAAAA THATS ALL I KEEP SAYING I JUST WAIL AT HOW SWEET AND PRECIOUS NATORI IS MY SWEET EARNEST SUBMISSIVE PUPPY TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALSO PLEASE HIS MR DARCY LEVEL CONFESSION AT THE END rui’s “my love for you wouldnt lose to your love for me” and natori’s “i pine for you, today tomorrow and forever” OH MY GODD I WANT TO YELL I WANT TO CRY THATS SO !! THATS ROMANCE!!! THATS FUCKING ROMANCE!??!? Genuinely felt my brain and body melt…. Such a refreshing and pure confession like baby thats a proposal atp oh my god im genuinely obsessed god i want to cry we need more mls to say new and fresh ways of declaring their love and yearning pls god its the intimacy, the bliss in confessing your love after all the chaos; knowing that this love is wholly yours to cherish and keep, unabashedly. Oh author this is so romantic God i cant do this i rlly need multiple volumes of this like that brief little petplay undertones they have has me biting the walls (good boy/puppy/doggy/kennel OHHH rui the dom bottom u are/ the way natori also relishes in it by responding/admitting to it so cutely too GODDDD the doggo imagery with his wagging tail MY SHAYLAA) rui is just so good to natori and natori is just flourishing so sweetly under all that love and care how could i Not wish to see more of them like the whole entire yakuza premise is so well done and i adore how rui is familiar with their business and understood natori’s choice in staying there under the new boss so he could pay him back. I love how rui didnt turn into this cliche naive mary sue of “but no u cant, repent and go to the light!!!” Bullshit and accepted/respected natori’s choice bc thats his step to healing. Just so so supportive and considerate to natori’s tune. SWOONSSSS its just so good and the way natori the ever so sweet and submissive baby earnestly and shyly reaches for more of rui’s love……. And once their love is established u can see glimpses of him being shameless with it AHH the sweet pathetic little sorries as he obliterates rui UWAHHHH UWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS PLEASE PLEASEEEEE YELLS BASHES MY HEAD GODDDDDD author u have created a masterpiece that others in the bdsm/shibari department wishes they couldve done oh my god……. Such a perfect bdsm/shibari bl with an equally perfect couple dynamic. So sweet so devoted so pure so earnest and most of all so romantic every step of the way. The pacing is perfect, the characters and conflict are beautifully written, and the romance godd the romantic progression has me swooning in each chapter the more their love and devotion is revealed AHH just 10/10s in everything. I adore natori’s character design too a big buff physique with the most gentlest sweetest eyes and demeanor GOOD LAWD what a darling babe, im so in love, oh to be rui AHHHH its just fucking Peak rlly. This story is rlly made for me my god author i cant thank u enough. I genuinely need physical copies of this PLEASE god i beg u give me more volumes

summary did an insane disservice to the story like sure mc was unhinged in the first chapter but that whole gag was dropped quite quickly and was more focused on the development of mc and ml’s chemistry and attraction for each other which i thought was really nice! Their dynamic is so fun and enjoyable bc theyre truly in a way dumb4dumb their moe gap is how theyre both smart and intellectual as hell but also just complete air in that noggin when theyre with eachother i love them so much LMAO, ml is such a menace but his little backstory on how he fell for the mc first was rlly cute, i rlly love this author’s way of making the ml fall first bc the revelation has always been such a sweet surprise :’) rly rly enjoyed their interactions/bantering too it flows so well given their personalities. Again, ml is both innocent and mischievous at the same time, i love how he relies on mc a lot. Him dropping the whole star student front and acting more his age around mc is rlly cute lmao especially that “uwu i dont think i can handle being abroad alone…. I need someone to help from the dept… LIKE SAEKI SENSEI!!!!” LMAO what a silly cunning guy i love him. he just has a rlly fun balance of both a loser loverboy and a cunning mischievous menace, a combo i ddint know i would rlly love LMAO And him not realising saeki’s feelings bc he thought he didnt have a chance is so cute like omg his moe gap is adorable ahh. But also i completely get him i too wouldnt be able to believe i had any game to win over a milf of a twink I love how theres no unnecessary drama too just these two building up their chemistry while also falling in love along the way. Sweet short fulfilling and simple! Again, i would rlly have loved to see more volumes of these two just living it up abroad their dynamic is such a delight to read just so so adorable and silly. author… u write the chemistry and romance between ur charas so well god what a fun read!! Never a miss with this author seriously

author crafted all the tropes and kinks in the lab specifically for me oh my god im frothing at the mouth at how good this is holy shit??????? The premise started off as the usual supposed enemies to lovers office romance but then u add in ml’s constant growing misunderstanding with mc’s professionalism and friendly customer service attitude + mc’s closeted sexuality and u get one hell of a good fawking time I LOVE ITTTTTTTTT its hilarious dramatic angst from sihyun’s side while the angst from joohwan’s closeted sexuality hurts like a punch to the gut such polarising feelings its a whole roller coaster LMAO. I just adore the couple dynamic in here especially sihyun’s affronted/cheated mistress situation going on in his head LMAO he’s such a tsun babe and seeing him create insane levels of misunderstanding and getting hurt by it fills me with so much joy such an adorable bulliable pitiful wife ml who just wants to get choked and dick stepped on…. My babie……….. can def see the angst for him picking up more seriously especially when he kept seeing himself as his mother who still clung onto his cheating dad’s shadow. Like AHHHHH that panel in ch28 where he gazes down silently and almost dejectedly at joohwan’s clarification (ring) and accepts it as long as he gets to stay with him… him looking hurt everytime he thinks joohwan is sighing at him… AHHHHH MY SHAYLA……. Also peeped his insanity with how he’d rather joohwan Have evidence to threat with him bc clearly that’d be a way to bind him to joohwan GODDD My sweet beautiful wife with a mental disorder i love u so much….. hes jsut grasping on straws thinking this is all he could ever amount to in joohwans life AHHHHHH my baby my wife my sweet pookie wookums the most absolute perfect submissive maso teary eyed kinky ml ive ever seen AND HEWLO THE TONGUE PIERCING???? author truly cooked him with the finest ingredients i owe author my life my GAWDDDDD what a babe fr i can go on and on about him forever. Also im OBSESSED with how author wrote joohwan’s character too bc that professionalism is off the charts like my boy has his entire foot down in the consultant business. Didnt waver at any of sihyun’s slick comments. That A1 customer service silver tongue winning hearts everywhere!!!!!! Adaptable in any setting!!! Unknowingly a man of charms and charisma!!!!! Just all smiles and sweet talk and immediately has sihyun melt into a putty i love joohwan BADDDD i love how hes so smooth with his talking too, such an enjoyable mc seriously. Like this man has crazy fucking game does even know that LMAO, he can easily pull any guy if he puts his mind to it its just a shame that he has gorilla glued the hinges of his fucking sexuality closet and yknow what in a way i get it His interactions with sihyun is just the cherry on top bc hes rlly just wrangling a tsun little cat with nothing but charm and flirt talk and sihyun’s just misunderstanding everything HDBDB like imagine your game too smooth someones first Immediate thought of u talking with another person is “Oh this MANWHORE!!!” theyre on completely different pages of different books its making me crydhhddb sending sihyun all my prayers bc WHEWDHBDBD its gonna be a while to get thru that noggin of his. i love them so much their dynamic is so addicting and fun GODDDD author nailed it downnnnnnnn!!!!!!! The fact joohwan doesnt have any recollection of their first make out sesh is hilarious and also being the igniter of sihyun’s choking kink??? Amazing. Obsessed crazy LOVE the increasing misunderstandings and the angst and drama its gonna eventually spill LMAO its my favourite kind of romcom borderline angsty misunderstanding flavour that i adoreee. Also the art style and anatomy? The facial expressions? The sex scenes????? The sexual tension?? “Donf worry i’ll be careful not to get you pregnant” THE DIRTY TALK HELLO???? THE SHAMELESS KINKS?????? Everything is just peak 10/10 my GAWD what a great adaptation, this is rlly my favourite story ever for this year god give me 20 more of these PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE IM HONEST TO GOD OBSESSED

CINEMA I ALREADY KNOWWWWWW ITS GONNA BE A BANGER i fucking love the art style especially the juxtaposition of hopeful romance + sudden intense gore scenes at what the curse entailed. Author captured the whimsicality and poignant, bittersweet love thats present in hans endersen’s little mermaid really well in this!
