Review: I love this story. I literally loved everything about it. The plot, the art, the air—everything, I loved how their relationship progressed. The only downside about this was that I was so emotionally invested in the story that it became that their obliviousness became so painful that it physically hurt to get through this. I’d like to ask the gods for a refund, I did not get what I asked for. You know what—the gods can take back my second-hand embarrassment for free for all I care! I just don’t want it. I really liked how the interacted with each other. They were so cute and adorable together. I loved their ship dynamic. The two are a match made in heaven (or hell). You can immediately tell through their actions that the love Kanggo and Kamin have is equally mutual. The comedic moments will make you laugh. The depressing moments will make you cry. The heartwarming moments will make you smile. This comic is too fluffy. I can’t— This deserves every one of it’s stars. Comment: I was so anxious that when they were about to kiss in the classroom, the green haired guy would turn out to be homophobic, and the whole school would know about it and that it would turn out super angsty. I was wrong, and I’m relieved. I’m so glad that their classmates supported their relationship. It was a nice change of pace. I thought that when Kamin found about about Kanggo’s extraordinary sense of smell, I thought he would drop him because he felt afraid. When he started talking about the possibilities of other people having “superpowers” like him, I felt like Hisoka (a clown). I was all up and worried, and for what? Still salty about that. （￣＾￣） P.S: Caught up to chapter 69.

Review: Wow. I liked this comic a lot better than I originally thought I would. I really enjoyed watching the couples grow and finding themselves in each other. Although the *** scenes were good, the few wholesome moments were what tied this all together for me. I loved seeing both couples living happily with one another. I’d totally recommend this BL! Comment: Puberty hit Haemin like a truck. Why is Sanho so beautiful? Glasses look great on Dongha. Youngwon is just so etheral. Why is everyone so freaking attractive? Oh, to be able to feel their hands just once . . .

SPOILER WARNING Review: I know you what you’re thinking. Five stars? Really? Yes, really. To be completely genuine, I liked this story more than “Love Shuttle,” and that’s saying something. Choi Yule is such an arsehole throughout the entire story. He asks his friends to r@pe Kyung-soo. Multiple. Times. He even let his own brother r@pe him just so he could come running back into his arms. Bulgogi beef guy goes crazy, too, at one point. Maybe “crazy” isn’t the right word, but they’re all mentally unstable. I think Chapter 67 was my favorite out of all 73 chapters. Choi Yule did “like” (and probably still does) Kyung-soo. He’s a terrible person, but he has emotions. I really liked that because not all bad people are “psychopaths” who are incapable of feeling human emotion. Above all, I’m especially glad he didn’t have a redemption arc. What he did was unforgivable. The epilogue was a nice way to put an end to the main story, I think. I, personally, wouldn’t associate with a rapist of mine (theoretically; i haven’t been SAed), but the main character chose to deal with that in his own way. There is so much detail in the manhwa. For example, whenever Kyung-soo thinks of Yule, he’ll wrap his arms around his s3x partner’s neck. Kyung-soo really likes Taiyaki for some reason, and although Yule doesn’t show it conventionally, he pays attention to Kyung-soo. He wants to see him smile happily like when Kyung-soo is with Bulgogi beef guy. This points to why he stabbed himself in the stomach near the end (no idea how he survived that btw) because he couldn’t imagine living with Kyung-soo dead. Kyung-soo definitely has some form of Stockholm Syndrome. If not that, then he truly believes he can never escape from Yule. He loved him so much. In one of the extras (when he’s supposed to end up with Donghyuk), he thinks of Yule when they’re doing “it.” It reminded me of the saying that said that love is irrational. You can still love someone who has done the unthinkable to you. As for the epilogue, readers can actually see Yule’s “development” as he stays away from Kyung-soo and watches him from afar. They say their “hellos” again which is a direct parallel to the scene where Yule looks at Kyung-soo from the stairwell. The ending wrapped it up quite nicely. (pretty open tbh) I’m pretty satisfied with it as Kyung-soo doesn’t end up with anyone. But! Yes, there is a “but.” There are bad details in this story, The main plot points are just “r@pe, r@pe, r@pe.” The whole storyline is a game of tug-of-war between Yule and Bulgogi Beef Guy, grappling for Kyung-soo. The story had me so invested; you wouldn’t understand how angry I was at Kyung-soo’s r@pists. It is likely that the nsfw scenes were included to make more money, but they disgusted me to the point where I wanted to throw up, and that’s not even all. I wasn’t even empathizing with Kyung-soo. I read this from an outsider’s perspective. When I tried to imagine myself in that situation, it felt sickening. I liked the story, but the author(s) definitely lazily handled specific parts of the story. It’s either that or they didn’t know how to write. Anyways, this story has its flaws, and I can see why past me couldn’t make it past Chapter 1. It’s a story not meant for everyone. This manhwa gave me a twisted sense of enjoyment? I don’t know if that makes sense, but I liked the feeling of being so entangled in a story. That’s why I said I was satisfied. If you can handle heavy topics like r@pe, su!cide, depression, and overall general mental illnesses, I would urge you to give this a try. I liked the reading experience, so maybe others will, too.

Not really feeling this one, but I’ll try to read it and see if I get hooked. Update: こんにちわ! It’s me from the future. I think I know why I dropped this. This had a mature scene at the beginning, so it would make sense for my “pure” self to avoid reading this. I have more experience reading these, so it’s not as bad, but the second hand embarrassment is still unavoidable, though.

Review: The storyline has been so good far. It has comedic elements, awesome fight scenes, fantastic art—what could you not like about this? One aspect I am really intrigued in is “loyalty.” A powerful empress must have loyal subjects. I am curious as to how that will play out. I’m so hyped for this comic even though I’ve already binge-read all of it. The potential this has is ASTRONOMICAL. The adrenaline that ran through my veins—I simply cannot begin to describe the emotions I felt while reading this. I love this. I have not praised a comic this much since, what I feel, is forever. Comment: I haven’t thirsted over a character so much in my life. Julia can RUIN ME, and I’d thank her for it. How is she so attractive? Her personality is just—*chef’s kiss* Julia, Julia, Julia . . . I LOVE YOU. The males cannot compare. Side note: Caught up to chapter 38.

There are lots of steamy moments in here. Very clear and who’s uke and seme. Honestly, I think it would be fine without those moments. Also, I really need to stop reading yaoi. Update: It was really cute! I liked how it explored their dynamic.It was really funny, and the side couples were good, too. The art is *mwah*. ALSO, DOYUN AND TAEHAN IN GLASSES DOYUN AND TAEHAN IN GLASSES. The secondhand embarrassment was really hard to get through at first, but it turned out to be okay. I’m a sucker for established relationship fluff. The MC was a bit too naive and stupid for my liking tbh.
