CW: depression, suicidal thoughts, boss-employee relationship
This still resonates deeply with me, probably because i can identify myself as the MC. A very beautiful story about finding a reason, no matter how small, to keep on living.
[PG, psychological, drama]
TW: bullying, manipulative & abusive family, child abuse, mental illness, trauma, suicide attempt
I'm actually still screaming while writing this. Man, the amount of heartache this manhwa gave me. I didn't expect it to be this beautiful and heartbreaking. It'll definitely stay with me for a long time.
[PG to R18, school life, slice of life]

A really well written story! It's not focused on romance, it's more about the ins and outs of a friendship between two polar opposites, and i'm all for it. The characterization is on point, and i love that the two main characters stayed true to their personalities to the end. One of the most healthy romance i've ever read.
[18+, mystery, drama, supernatural, psychological]
TW: violence, child abuse, gore, murder, codependency
Holy shittt the grip this has on me. The whole time i was reading as if my heart was on my throat, i couldn't stop even a second. The writing is really well done, it's creepy, mysterious, sad, incredibly fucked up, yet it's also touching and funny at times. It's fun to read, albeit a little unsettling--but that's why i loved it a lot.
[PG, queer, school life, slice of life]
CW: homophobia
I've been putting off reading this for so long, and now i see that i should've waited longer.... i'm left feeling empty and changed at the same time. Such a great manga with great conversations and touching relationships.
[PG, supernatural, slice of life, found family, mystery]
CW: GRAPHIC ANIMAL ABUSE, near death experiences, fatal injuries, murder, blood drinking
Oh man this is wonderful! Just like the title says, it's about a (super adorable) vampire and his pleasant companions. From what i've read so far the characters rly shine, the plot is intriguing, the writing strong, and the art beautiful. I hope it stays that way till the end.
[R18, supernatural, drama, mystery]
CW: violence, disturbing images, dubcon sex, hate sex
I really love how the author portrays loneliness and isolation in both MCs. This combined with good characterization and mystery made it such a compelling read. I have high hopes for this one, and crossing my fingers not to be disappointed.
[18+, drama, romance]
TW: dubcon sex (a TON of dubcon sex), toxic workplace, SA attempt (not between MCs)
I enjoyed it a lot. Didn't care about the sex scenes because so MUCH of it is just dubcon after dubcon, but the other aspects of this manhwa are incredible. The writing and characterization are great, and it's worth the wait just to see both MCs grew as characters and came together.
[18+, fantasy, action, mystery]
TW: racism, violence, murder
A story about a special unit that existed for maintaining the peace between human race and beastmen. This is too short! Has a great potential to be an amazing long webtoon (and even a TV series, god that'd kick ass), but sadly it's only 28 chapters. Even so, it's a satisfying read dense with interesting plot and characters.
[Bromance, supernatural, mystery, found family]
CW: vampire, blood, violence, blackmail, murder, child abuse, self harm, toxic relationship
This kind of dynamic is seriously entertaining to read for me personally. It's toxic, sure, and it's not even a BL (it's BL adjacent i guess) but it's interesting and i'm curious where it will end up.
