Periodttt's manga / #angst(8)

Flowers Of Evil

Complete | Lee Hyeon-sook | 2006 released

This was a really twisted and thought provoking story. The two characters I felt sorry for were the 2nd male lead and the 2nd female lead. Those two sadly got wrapped up in the twin’s twisted love game. They deserved better. But then again that doesn’t mean I didn’t feel for the two lead characters. Even tho I hated the female lead, you realize she’s actually the real victim of her brother’s twisted obsession. As for her brother, his flaw was being so obsessed with his sister. There could be no happy ending for them. And that’s what makes their end so bittersweet. Really makes one think, to be loved by all or be loved by your one? Which would you pick? And is there ever really a choice? Like the male lead, truth to be told he never had a choice, it would’ve never worked out for him. Sad dark twisted story done right.

Hakidame to Tsuru

Complete | KITAHALA Lyee | 2015 released

This manga was really eye opening and even gave me a reality check. Makes you realize you really can’t just throw your life away and depend solely on someone. Ik romance stories make it seem like you’re gonna be with someone forever, but in many cases just like this story, you never know when or how you’re gonna be throw away. So don’t ever make someone your whole world, make them a part of your world. Let them add happiness to your life, not be your only and whole happiness. Great reality check and lesson to learn in this story. And props to the seme for being so respectful

Sojou No Koi Wa Nido Haneru

Complete | mizushiro setona | 2009 released

I found the sequel even better than the prequel. And I really like how this time we got closure on an ending. Always felt like the ending for the prequel was a bit vague. Yes they were in a toxic relationship, but they realized it and took strides to fix it. I like how the straight guy finally set him foot down when he realized yes they’re too old to be acting this way, getting swayed by love, there are bigger things out there than that. Loved that realistic part, made me even think about it

A Thousand Cranes

Touch Blue

Complete | Kujou Aoi | 2005 released

I loved this! I felt he pain and angst the older stepbrother felt. Someone in the comments said he was coward for running away from his feelings back then. But I don’t think like that, I think he made the right choice in waiting until the other brother was older. When they started going out at first, his brother was in high school, being the adult in the relationship Ofc he would be worried whether this was actual real love or just in the moment. And the feeling of not wanting to ruin it for the other person coz he’s so young as well. So I don’t think the older step brother did anything wrong. This was really good overall read :)) love a lil possessive love

Love Poem For Him

Ongoing | DODAM-EO, SINcere | 2000 released

Ch 49 this was a bit boring in the beginning but now it’s intense! I like how realistic the ML and FL were in the beginning, how she was desperate to survive under any conditions and he was just trying to support his family and siblings. That’s why I don’t get why ppl hated on ghe ML for being “unempathic” Bc he has siblings who depend on him, and when ppl hated on the FL for being “manipulative” like bruh she’s just doing whatever she can to survive and you would too, damn ppl just want everything to be all butterflies and flowers when it’s really not like that irl. So I liked how realistic this story was, also I like how in this story it’s the like the princess x poor nobleman, coz usually these types of stories always have it the other way with a rich perfect ML and the poor need to be saved FL…so nice to see the roles reversed for once. Cant wait for more chs

Murderer Llewellyn's enchanting dinner invitation

Complete | Sum Na Gi,Muk Bu | 2000 released

Ch 90, the high comments on bato drew me in and what the hell this was amazing. I was hooked as hell and mannnn the angst in this story is no joke, I’d be lying if I said my heart wasn’t hurting while reading this story. But literally this pyschopath killer knows more about consent than most semes in BLs. Idk the blondie in this story is a green flag in my book even if he is a murderer. And there was that one quote that realy stood out to me “everyone’s got a bad side what’s important is whether they’re head to you or not” very interesting

ch 60 complete, I’m so glad the story is done with bc my heart wasn’t about to take it anymore. But even the ending left me a bit unsatisfied, ik what the point the author was trying to make…but idk eh it just rubbed me the wrong way. Like Ik the ending point of the story is to be like let go of the hate in the past and move on and be happy…but it just sucks that the guy who hated her in her last life gets to end up being happy with her while the one guy who always loved her since her first life doesn’t get a happy ending. So while I get the point of the story…it just feels like the author rewards the guy who hated but then became good rather than the guy who loved all along. Like it just seems so unfair. I kept rooting for the white haired guy to win but the author kept pushing the brown haired guy on us so I guess it is what it is. Even up until the end I just felt bad for the white haired guy who loved her all along. The story was good but I feel like the ending ruined it for me.
