lilithespark's manga / #lingerie(5)

Review: I shouldn’t have to “review” something as disgusting as this. I knew something wasn’t right when I read that “teacher x student” tag. Underage s*x, plus it’s nonconsensual. If you’re into that stuff, okay, I guess? I wouldn’t suggest this, though.

Just hear me out… I quite like this manhwa, and I do have to agree that if you were to have a ratio of the ******* moments to plot elements, the former would greatly outnumber the latter. But! The plot elements that ARE present are very imaginative. It could just be that the translation isn’t shitty, but certain parts really moved me (e.g. the ML/uke’s backstory). It’s become more than just your typical “oh my boss has a dirty secret and wears lingerie” kind of story but one that also covers toxic masculinity and embracing yourself. I mean, c’mon, we’re talking about Korea here. Their couple dynamic is actually so, so sweet (and healthy), and the art is so, so good. I’m personally a big fan of puppy dog tops, so that was a plus… *cough* But that’s besides the point. Of course, the story isn’t perfect. Like wdym there’s some annoying guy who has blackmail material on the ML and is a huge jerk?? A few plot points are a bit cliché (misunderstandings, etc.) , but I don’t think it’s too much of a downside. Good read.

39 Cute, fluffy story you can turn off your brain cells too. Ofc it’s smutty as well. Doesn’t really stand out in this genre. I wish we could’ve seen more of ML’s (Ren) feelings about being a man and wearing lingerie, but this isn’t some sort of deep analysis of society. Pretty surface level stuff. Decent enough to entertain if u have nothing else to read!
