A man who yearns, earns.

› Older Bottom
› Reunited
› First love
› Pretty Top x Stud Bottom

⤷ ゛ˎˊ˗ Seon searched for Giran; he was his reason to live. Their backstories are heartbreaking, I’m glad that they have eo.

.☘ ˖ 8.8/10
› High School Classmates
› Mutual Pining
› Possessive Top x Sunshine Bottom

⤷ ゛ˎˊ˗ mutually pining eo since highschool but only managed to get together after military service. The silent yearning goes both ways, it took them so longgg. They match eo’s freak so well, the bottom accepts the top’s obssession.

.☘ ˖ 7.3/10
› Older Bottom
› Mutual Pining
› Crybaby Top x Cool Bottom

⤷ ゛ˎˊ˗ such an idiot couplee, so funny and adorable. Lee ahn’s selective hearing had him heartbroken poor baby, despite the misunderstanding his hyung remained his one and onlyyy. No DNA test needed, lee ahn is definitely related to lee yeon.

.☘ ˖ 8.8/10
› Older Top
› Mutual Pining
› Fvckbuddies

⤷ ゛ˎˊ˗ I usually don’t prefer this trope but this manga has great execution. I think pausing and starting all over again was the right action for them, they needed a better foundation rather than just continuing from fckbuddy. They became so mature and healthier once they started dating.

.☘ ˖ 8.7/10
› Childhood friends
› Mutual Pining
› Promiscuous Top x Honor student Bottom

⤷ ゛ˎˊ˗ they could’ve gotten together long time before, but I understand where Rui’s coming from. For him, even if he wanted to be with yahiro, he wanted to become the “proper” child for his parents.

.☘ ˖ 9.4/10 Can’t count how many times I’ve read this, and how many times I cried.
› Top pursue bottom
› Older Top
› Red strings/“fated” person concept
› The Spin-off to https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/akai_ito_no_shikkou_yuuyo/

⤷ ゛ˎˊ˗ The patience and determination hara-san has is limitless. I felt bad for both of them. If this is not real “fate” then what is?

.☘ ˖ 9/10 I love them so muchh, this trope never disappoints.
