At the End of the Road

Complete | Haribo | 2016 released

So far I really like this. It's not often you get to see the weak character grow that much when they have a protector. It's really refreshing to see him overcome his problems and become strong and now able to help his protector. Though I would have loved to see them reunite when he had his own body.

Never Understand

Complete | Bbong | 2013 released

Fantastic story! It was one of the most real stories I've read in awhile. Everytime I thought "why don't you do this" or "it's because of this" and somehow it came up in the story, super satisfying and extremely relatable. I really identified with the characters especially Aerak. A must read for anyone looking for something cute and fufufu but also real and sad amd frustrating at times.

Smells Like Green Spirit

Complete | Nagai Saburou | 2011 released

The way this story is told is amazing. It had me holding my breath, made my stomach fall and my eyes water. A coming of age story about boys coming to terms with their sexuality and the reality of accepting what that means in their world. Beautifully depicting the horror of being attacked one minute and the humor of adolescence the next. The stark images pack a punch and evoke deep emotion keeping me enthralled in this realistic tale of growing up.

Koe No Katachi

Complete | ooima yoshitoki | 2000 released

Cried so much I had to stop because I couldn't see the pages. An incredible story that completely destroys you, heart wrenching and so engaging you won't want to put it down until you see how it ends. There are some really detestable characters that I just can't forgive or understand, but for the most part it takes you into the head of the bad guy and you see inside them what drove their actions and how they think and how they change and overcome. It's painful and hopeful and ends much like real life with so many possibilities. It truely touched me and although I've gotten used to the concrete formulaic endings, I appreciate the vague ambiguity of the future.

Lookism

Ongoing | Park Tae Joon | 2014 released

Really interesting premise, and a lot questions answered about the logic. Where can I get a second body? But seriously, it's just like one giant misunderstanding that continue to escalate. Jae Yeol is so sweet! Just a shy cinnamon roll (⌒▽⌒). I hope hose two become good friends. Also Vasco and Hyung Suk could be friends if only they could communicate better, Vasco is such a good guy at heart. Just goes to show how misunderstanding and assumptions are placed on everyone regardless of your looks. Let's fix these misunderstandings, yeah. Yay! Vasco is such a sweetheart a true superhero and definately a giant fluffy cinnamon bun. p(^_^)q I love these guys so much. Now this is what I call character growth. BTS, GD and One Punch Man? Boy this comic is after my heart. Jae Yeol is just too precious I can't take it.(^◇^) Kya!! T^T Tae Eun you are amazing, you've been through so much. You have grown up well. I'm sorry you had to endure that Vasco. (;_;) Enter the girl version of Hyung Suk, not surprising actually. Also I'm kind of rooting for Ha Neul she already likes both bodies and she's honest I like her spunk. But somehow I don't see that happening. Although perhaps my true ship is ofcourse Hyung Suk and Jae Yeol, he just loves him so much. But a shounen ai love, I can't even begin to imagine anything else for those two pure cinnamon rolls. Also somwheere along the way this turned into a cautionary tale/PSA for all types of trouble. Gambling, smoking and bullying all vices teenagers might get into. Let's all use are heads and stay out of trouble and do the right thing, yeah. Update: Dropped for now bc of the episodic lessons. Got sort of stale and one note

Orange Marmalade

Complete | seok woo | 2000 released

It was a cute and solid shoujo. It was funny, silly, sad and fluffy. Good art and drama, but predictable and cliché nothing ground breaking. It has a good message about acceptance and is largely about the prejudice of vampires. I mean it completely skirts the usual undead issue and turning humans into them and instead they are basically humans but drink blood and have some extra powers. Basically vampire could be replaced with any race and is about being different in a world where everybody fears and hates you. It's really a coming of age drama about a girl accepting herself and finding those who support and accept her as she is. Note: Trying to get through the first episode of the live action drama and all I can think is how the manhwa was so much better. They so far are selling vamp dude(can't remember his name) so much better. Why would they make it about his hatred of vamps from the start? Shouldn't be girls? That's what made his confused slow fall so cute. Grrr.

Itonaga-kun no Koi no Ito

Complete | OKUDA Waku | 2018 released

Bully to lover. In middle school Sanada was itonaga’s tormentor and unrequited love. They met again in college and he doesn’t seem to remember me and is being kind...what is going on? Lots of feeling resurface as he begins t9 get close to him, is this real, can he trust it?

Kirei ni Shiteyo

Complete | Sachimo | 2016 released

I actually quite like this couple. Sugimara does some to be a good man, the age difference is a lot. He’s old enough to be his father. Though he doesn’t look it all. The age gap does bother me, like if this was set in college fine. Though i do appreciate it was addressed that it is something he was concerned about. Though that doesnt make it right. So forgetting the illegal aspect of it, i do really like this couple. They helped heal each other.

Oujisama, Dochirasama?

Complete | Kujirada Hiroto | 2018 released

I quite like it, despite his dark past he really did regret and made it right. He’s such a feisty queen.

You're My Princess

Complete | Hiroto Kujirada | 2000 released

So much gap moe! Really glossed over the bullying, but efficiently ended it. A quick fun read with a prince and his big cat loving princess.
