homeboy needed a healthy friendship. so glad that he's having the time of his life in japan. i hope daiki and juhyeok stay friends for a long long time. what a mood elevator of a chapter. this also kinda healed me from what happened in Between The Lines ngl phew
And you might hate me but I hope they become more than friends. I prefer the Japanese guy over his childhood friend ngl.
not at all, why would i hate you for wanting to see what you like bruh? if their meeting does bloom i to a romance i would also enjoy reading it tbh. having multiple love interests/crushes/admirers doesn't make a character any less likable or less interesting in fact i would say it adds more depth and dimension to them (maybe not always though, it differs on a case by case basis, etc.)
this was so unnecessary. this will have zero effect on the plot, and probably won't ever be mentioned again in future chapters. in fact this entire thing is so out of character for both Dohu and Juheon it feels repulsive and distasteful. And did they just twinkify Dohu in this chapter? ugh gross. this better be back on track soon. what is it with these manhwa creators that they insert sexual violence out of the blue in an otherwise good story. Like this pattern needs to be studied. Poor writing choice tbh. Just remember gang theyre not doing this, the author is making them do this.
and for those of you saying "this is hate fucking" no its not, hate fucking has very different vibes, and this is NOT it. its the author stuffing in SA cause its been so popularized in the bl genre and no one bats an eye.
OH THIS IS GOOD. THIS IS DAMN GOOD.
Love Shinwi and the gang! Everyone's character aesthetics look so cool. Love that. And BAN oh my god what a protagonist. so intriguing. And Shinwi's dynamic with Ban? IMMACULATE. Delicious banter and cute moments? Absolute cinema. It's like they don't even know they are the main leads in a bl manhwa...cuties. babies. saur cute. Also, the redhead yakuza lookin guy (Ryouji?) seems like an interesting fellow. I wanna see more of him, even tho he's lowkey giving brocon lol.
Also my gut tells me Ray is a scumbag who's gonna fuck over Ban, Shinwi and crew. He needs to GO. and die in a ditch. hes like a proxy villain henchman whos not all that but is still trying to make his importance known. and the fucking way he treats ban? im gonna throw up. thats a pedo groomer if i ever saw one. kill him with fire.
The cyberpunk dystopia setting is absolutely immersive and it's pulling me in. I am NOT going to marinate this peak. I WILL read it in real time.
Also here's a playlist i found which acts like a decent bgm/score: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/51XXu9gTzIgfZ5t1fKhUY0
this is such a good read, amazingly executed. this is such a nice peek into how modern day relationships work out through the ups and downs. they are totally meant to be. i especially enjoyed the contrast between Leo and JJ's personalities. One is a bratty airhead and the other is a stoic introvert. And yet the fact remains that they're life partners. I was glad to see both of them become better versions of themselves throughout the story. The pacing did them justice, while also serving us readers with A+ sexy times. I also liked getting to know more about the motorsports world as I've never really gotten into it irl (I'm more of an mma fan tbh), so yeah it was an overall awesome reading experience! I'll come back to it again if I'm in the mood for a romcom-y bl manhwa. Solid 9/10. May they live happily ever after in each other's arms. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
I love it when Tsubaki calls Haruki "Bon" like only tsubaki can call him that, like its a special nickname between them. it's adorable. it's intimate. it's everything. this shit is making me fucking swoon. stop it im dying here dammit.
first colored japanese manga i've read in the korean webcomic style...ita nice, but mangakas shouldn't have to do their work in a foreign style just to reach the readers/audience. manga format is so elegant, webcomics have a much different vibe which works for them. but they can never match the beauty and intricacy that mangas have.
ch 4
i like how arata is pulling yuito from his avoidant behaviour not by force but with a gentle persuasion. yeah theyre going to see a movie, no biggie. yuito is a classic overthinker plus none of his previous partners have reciprocated his feelings at the same level as his own self. so its natural. arata is such a sweetheart tho, hes being so genuine and nice while also being persistent. i think he understands yuito more than yuito realizes.
ch11
kiritani...what a queen, what a diva. love her, shes a baddie.
ch12
they match each other freak. yayyy!!
