Alice's manga / #Psychological(9)

This was my first ever BL. I read this week by week waiting for it to come out. Some good shit.

Dropping

Not rating purely because I don't know how or what I'd rate it. It's fucked up. It's horrific. I didn't know who's side I was on. It made me question my morals. But I read the whole thing, and sat on the edge of my seat for most of it. Definitely different from anything else I've ever read. Absolutely not for the faint hearted or for someone looking for a casual read. In a nutshell, WTF and where can I find out more?

Dropping.

Mafia plot. A lot of emotional manipulation. Just wanna see more Minhyuk and his fine tattoos. **Update Man... This is just turning into some weird puppy play shit. What even is the plot anymore? **Update What even is happening any more? Everyone's so toxic. Minhyuk, I was hopeful for you, but you ruined your chances not once, but TWICE my dude. You. Can't. Just. Rape. Unconscious/barely concious. People. And Taeseung is just so manipulative and all round such an awful character. The things he does to Sooyoung... not sure I want to keep reading.

While I still read it, I couldn't really feel the "intense" part. Maybe it was because of how the characters faces were drawn? I felt their faces were just so emotionless, and therefore harder to empathise with. The story was unique, and somewhat nice that they found each other and managed to run away together, but it feels kinda incomplete. It was a nice happy ending, dont get me wrong, but part of Jiwoons character ark was trying to gain independence and escape from the mob boss. And while they escaped, Jiwoon still hasn't got that independence and freedom he wanted while he sits at home waiting all day for his partner to come home from work. Maybe the author had to cut it short?

Stupid me thought this was gonna be just about the Novelist and the editor. A couple of these stories made me slightly... uncomfortable...

These two stories, while completely different, are both so beautifully done. The art style is gorgeous. The characters are likeable. I had all the feels in the first story. It was bitter-sweet. His pain was expressed so well, I just wanted to wrap him in a blanket and protect him from the world. I also really loved that their relationship was so tentative and sweet. And that his self punishing behaviours weren't instantly cured the moment they got together. It added a sense of deep realism. I'm glad they can both work towards happiness. And the second story was cute and I loved the cheeky note it ended on. Definitely worth the read!
