Sugar ❀'s manga / #Reencounter(3)

P: Overworked schoolteacher, Miharu, collapses onto the icy roads. Along comes local tattoo artist, Arashi to save the day. However, it being Miharu's first time seeing so many tattoo's up close, he unintentionally makes some insensitive comments. To apologize, Miharu goes to his shop to apologize, where he realizes just how kind Arashi is. He feels comfortable chatting to someone of the same age, but also feels like something doesn't seem right... O: Wait how does Arashi know Miharu can play the piano, I don't remember him mentioning it?? FeelsDankMan. OHHHHHHH I GET IT NOW NVM -facepalm- This is such a seriously wholesome read, I love how chill and unforced their relationship is. Very feels good manga!

P: After parting ways nine years ago, Youngmin and his first love, Jihoon, have been reunited in the same homeroom class. There’s just one problem… that’s not really Jihoon. When the boys were young, a traumatic car accident landed Jihoon with an entirely new soul! To avoid suspicion, the fake Jihoon enlists his old friend’s help in fooling the rest of the world about his identity. This arrogant new guy is nothing like the old sweet, polite Jihoon… so why is Youngmin still getting butterflies? O: Idk if this is a 5/5, but this is pretty amusing and interesting to read. Jihoon is really wack tho C3 - the irony... isn't Sungjoon (red hair) the one who always harasses Youngmin (black hair) lmao... C4 - I don't see this working out tbh... C5 - this is interesting.. C15 - Surely real Jihoon will come back right? He might be dead already tho.. I wonder if Jihoon is just completely delusional or sth... who knows C22 - lol wtf... Jihoon is unhinged.. C38 - tbh I'm not really interested in the ship. This really makes me wonder if Jihoon just underwent a major personality change and that he was delusional all along. f/38 On hold. Kinda bored...

P: Akamine and Utsumi are two men linked by a dark past only Utsumi remembers: Akamine raping him six years earlier. But when Utsumi comes to exact his revenge, old wounds are reopened and the two become locked in a cycle of violence, betrayal, longing, and despair. O: Drawn in b/c of the art... Ik this is pretty messed up, but I can't but help find it is interesting and want to read more... they really don't like each other at the start. They're both twisted C4 - seeing Akamine break down and Utsumi smile in that sinister way... C5 - wait who is Saeki lmao I'm confused. Ig Saeki is that guy Akamine liked? It seems like Akamine was the one who leaked the documents because of him?? C6 - oh shit Akamine got played by Saeki... and rn he's getting played by Utsumi :( C7 - shit... I knew this was gonna happen some time but man.. C8 - :( this betrayal is so depressing C9 - pain. C12 - AINTNOWAY C13 - so glad this ended well! Tbh this was sometimes pretty confusing since it's hard to understand what's going on in the minds of Utsumi and Akamine. I still find it hard to imagine what Akamine did to Utsumi, it seems super out of character?? But other than that I really liked this! The art got really nice later on. Basically Utsumi wants to fk Akamine over due to him liking Akamine, but then soon afterwards Akamine ruined his life by raping him. But at the same time Utsumi still likes Akamine and wants to make him his. I think this is way he gets tired of Akamine always talking about Saeki so lovingly since Akamine ruined his life, but Akamine was unaffected and chased after Saeki. He wants Akamine's attention, and uses Akamine's words against him
