MountainGazelle's Manga

Black haired dude doesn't seem like the best partner but this is just smut and it's really good. THE ART IS SUPERIOR!!

4.5
- Art: decent. Overall good but sometimes their poses were awkward. Also, I didn't feel like it got better as the series went on. Granted, it's not that long.
Story: I really liked the order in which the author revealed the timeline. The timeline made sense. There were some things that are mere coincidence which I didn't like.
Characters: ALL of them were pieces of shit except for hayan, but they were explained well.
Conclusion: Honestly, I feel pressure to give this story a 4 star rating max, but there's really no reason to. A common theme in BL reviews on this site is giving a story a lower rating (or a 1 star immediately) just because it includes graphic scenes or triggering content. Yes everyone in this story except for Hayan was a huge jerk. The stuff they're doing is illegal, immoral, improper, BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU'RE JUDGING. Your reviews should only be about the QUALITY of the story. In fact, if the story made you this mad then the author succeeded. Was Gyuh Yool's character as a psycho written well? I think yes. Did the timeline of the story make sense? I think yes. And so on.
Imo, I liked that our protagonist was smart enough. The CD thing was a little far-fetched.

100% must read.
Overall, this BL has a story + couples and it's not only about the romance. Reading something like this is always refreshing in BL. I technically can't say it's one of those stories where everyone is gay, but I technically canat the same time. Either way, there are a lot of couples but most of them are developed and the ones that are not still make sense. I really enjoyed this BL. It's one of those that wraps you in its atmosphere.

On a nore spoiler-y note:
- Sam acts like Rugal when Rugal is not around. It's very noticeable in the last chapter after they thought they killed him.
- I LOVE love love Dio and Brett's relationship even though some of Brett's actions didn't sit well with me.
- James opening Rugal's laptop was one of the funniest scenes I've read in my life.

Average, smutty.
The drama was exaggerated. Like was hyung really going to hurt Hwan if they'd continued?? Overall, I like this couple dynamic so I enjoyed it (cold slutty uke / sweet not as slutty but good in bed seme). The seme really reminds me of the one from Oh My Assistant.

First, i see why someone will give this a 4, but I'll give it a 4.5.
Second, I actually enjoyed this a lot.
This story accomplishes something most stories lack: consistency. In most [BL]stories characters change over time and in a character development sort of way. Instead, they change to fit the story. It should be the way around. Just think of how many times you've reread a story and realized that the uke's personality was extremely different at the start (usually stronger). The characters in the story, while unusual, are very consistent throughout the story.
Third, the author delivered good dialogue and storytelling. While I don't base my reviews off the quality of the dialogue (because this is a translation), I would like to comment on it being very natural and genuine AKA very human they're not exaggerated characters. The storytelling was good too.
Fourth, my only complaint about the story is the 'second couple'??? Honestly, I really don't understand them. I feel like we didn't get a proper intro to the dude that looks like the stalker. Their placement was just very odd. I understand that they moved the story, but I wasn't connected enough to them to understand their impact. Again, they were just planted into the story weirdly.
Lastly, I really liked the art.

Conclusion: READ IT! It's not that long and it's good.

Big meh.
I don't even know if i can say it had potential. Very basic.

Really really love how genuine the relationship is. It's one of those manga with a really good and healthy couple that it makes you feel bad about yourself.
So cute fr.

Maybe it's cuz i hate kids but i don't think so they didn't have a BIG part in the story, and the things Shizuku did were just extremely unrealistic but that still wouldn't make me rate it this low. However, my expectations MAY have played a role in this low rating.

It just didn't make me feel anything. Really. The art was a very inconsistent and bad that it took away from the story. It did get a little better in the 2nd volume.

Ik this isn't professionally translated so im not gonna judge the dialogue that hard, but it was cheap. The plot was cheap too. The characters weren't that strong either. I think the character with the most consistent personality was the mother in law. Overall very trope-y, expected, and not memorable.

Lastly, bad art = bad sex scenes. Did not feel a thing.

It's rare for me to say this but this was a wast of time and I don't recommend it unless stories about families and kids are your thing. Still, I think this was cheap.

LOVED IT
REALLY GOOD
THE COUPLE WAS SOO AMAZING
their personalities were consistent throughout the story, and I liked that the sex scene was saved to the end
