TW rape, abuse, assault, violence.
Seriously, where do i even start? It's messy, codependent, horribly toxic, and so insanely good. Jakpil is both a really wonderful writer and artist and the way they depict atmospheric tension in Unchanged Man is something i deeply admire! I think i lost chunks of hair from pulling at my head while reading.
TW assault, prostitution, homophobia, violence.
It's hard to put into words how much this manga means to me because it hurt so bad to read. Very beautifully written with a conflict that feels real and bitter. One of the biggest highlights to me, however, is Haoran's relationship (or perhaps lack thereof) with his mother. Ogeretsu Tanaka really is one of the greatest BL mangakas of all time.
Probably one of the best couples I've ever read about in manhwa, they have such good chemistry together and their back-and-forth is enjoyable to read! IZ, alongside having beautiful art, also utilizes dialogue bubbles in a brilliant way. A very sweet yet unfortunately short read ♡.
TW violence, assault, implied CSA.
One of the most wonderful things about Master-Peace is Jumal's very obvious background/experience in film and storytelling. From paneling, composition, to colours; everything is just so so incredibly fresh to see in manhwa. Will rewrite this when i get the chance to reread it again.
These two unfortunately left a Terano and Kumazaki shaped hole in my head that I'll never be able to fill ever again since reading. A lighthearted and fluffy story with charming characters! I'm quite fond of how Yoriko draws expressions, hope i can read volume 2 soon! ♡
TW violence.
Western age gap BL with a sexy hairy older top... what a dream! Though it's nothing insanely revolutionary writing wise, Dead or Alive is still a fun read with one of the most memorable art styles I've ever seen. Iago has always been one of my favorite artists online, their linework and hatching is just insane to me and their passion comes through in their works.
TW child abuse, assault, rape.
Such a bittersweet story... Boy Meets Maria changed my life for good and i think that there's nothing else quite like it. Also very conveniently has one of the most eye catching covers I've ever seen. Rest in peace Peyo ♡ I'll forever cherish their works in my heart.
TW rape, gore, violence, ableism, and more.
A particularly hard read that left me on edge the first time i read it. I read this a while back so unfortunately i don't have the best memory of it, but it made SUCH a huge impact on me. I think the relationship between the two pairs are interesting.
TW stalking (obviously).
Freak4Freak4Freak love triangle between stalkers... I can't say much yet (especially where the story is at currently), but Yodogawa Yuo, i owe you my life and 2 of my own limbs!
TW violence, death, sexual assault
There's a big gaping hole in my heart after i finished reading Sanctify. God, i feel like i won't ever read anything like this again. Sanctify is an interesting story that hooks you in quickly. Not only that, but the art is stunning! The way GODSSTATION draws subtle expressions is something i really look up to them as an artist.
