❀'s manga / #EXCHANGED RINGS(42)

ART IS HOT. STORY IS SWEET. IT'S THE BEST. this is a sequel to the oneshot in chapter 2 of dragless sex 1.

Perfect pacing, tear wrenching, honestly this story took me by surprise with its depth and beauty and realness. A distinct difference from manga, just felt more real and raw?? The storytelling was refreshing after only reading Japanese yaoi for so long. I wonder if this will open the door for more manhwa since I was a little prejudiced before. Just wish there was more about their future together!! Could really relate to both characters and their backgrounds were a bit tragic as typical, but again, still realistic. Lots of amazing character development and cute couple moments. Perhaps because manga doesn't include so many sweet in between moments like a hug/kiss except at critical points? or this story was long so had space to flesh those things out. hmm...

confused about their feelings and why things happened. a lot of things happened but really not clear why the guy was okay with sex and if they even fucked the first time or just fingering... things aren't really clear, they just happen... but nice art. overall nothing is explained well and the other characters' reactions to things are kind of weird? Like the pink hair guy should know he's talking about hyo-in but seems like he doesn't, or just has no reaction...idk would not read again

they have one night stand of misunderstanding (a little confusing or fake how that happened), but then the story is cute with a tsundere and a puppy like guy. an antagonist doctor tries to blackmail them apart and has some cute angst that shows the tsundere's love.

arranged marriage 2 alphas story. cute and sweet, but no plot. all about them figuring out who will top who to finally produce an heir. hot and likable couple.

very possessive seme. guy is a little depressed and stressed and always saying i want to die. his friend always replies i'll eat you if you die. then one day he gets super stressed and actually says okay eat me i'm ready to die. his friend starts touching him and he gets scared. then his friend cries cuz ofc he doesn't want yuma to die. they live together, cuz the seme is posessive under the guise of looking after yuma. he gets super comfortable living together cuz seme does everything. then one day he goes drinking without telling seme and seme chains him up. there was a stalker girl who liked yuma and tried to come save him. some weird shit happened in the middle here but in the end yuma realises he likes seme and was just resisting so seme would keep pursuing him and saying the words he wanted to hear. cute ending despite the weird confinement thing in the middle lol

what is there to say? a tearjerker every time. fucking masterpiece no matter how much time passes.

nursery school teacher and a writer he meets who wants to have sex for research lol. but then in the later chapters it gets real sweet and the writer respects his boundaries, waiting for him to accept a relationship. then we see kids from the pre-school get together. those kids are now step-brothers and are having sex lol no real plot there.

two wedding planner people. somehow they are in love and one guy says to the other if you successfully plan this gay wedding, i'll reward you with more than kisses. so he does and gets rewarded lol. oneshot story of how the gay couple who had the wedding got together and what happened leading up to their wedding. technically the first couple exchanged rings cuz you can see it, but the exchange wasn't shown in the story.

SO GOOD IN EVERY WAY. BRILLIANT STORYTELLING AND LOVABLE CHARACTERS. EVEN THEIR FIRST TIME WAS SOOO CUTE AND ADORABLE. MORE REALISTIC THAN BEING SEXY. LOVE IT SO SO MUCH!!
