leechingleviathan's manga / #drama(6)

Contrary to popular .. opinion, I actually really enjoyed this. Even if it seems frustrating. There's just a certain charm to the story that made me stay. Although I wish the assertive Daon from the start stayed till the end; I do understand his actions. Maybe I'm reading into it too deep, but despite him being a horrible person, in a sense I really do get it. He feels incredibly indebt to this asshole of a guy (Jaemin) after he's done everything for him, and fooling himself to like him for 10 years—so I don't get the comments when they say they hate him for that. It's frustrating, yes. But in a story narrative standpoint it makes sense. Nobody really told Sunghyeon to stay. He made that choice himself. Jaemin completely manipulated elements of his life to make him feel more indebt, cause he knows what kind of person Daon is. Junghyeon stayed, and he may be way too good for Daon, but that was his choice, and he was even told off and warned by Daon. I love the characterization and their motives. Once you read the story it gets more clear, and obvious, and makes you kinda homicidal. I guess. Soohyun, especially, I feel bad for, though he is a little abusive in the modern day I love him. And Jaemin is a pretty good twist yandere. That's a rare way to write the trope, nice. Maybe I'm a major Daon defender, but considering his environment.. I don't know. I think maybe he should be less of a pushover, but if he's facing a guy like Jaemin in context it would make sense. I wish maybe he was in terms with his emotions a lot faster, but I can't really, exactly blame him. I love Daon and Junghyeon; sorry if you don't, but they're really sweet. Cute dynamic, and I like the switch up of Daon pursuing after Junghyeon although it stops for a while, (though I wish there was more to give more sturdiness to their relationship). I love how Junghyeon legimately lectured Daon, a guy who was actually honest, blunt, but still considerate. It's a breath of fresh air from the other two. Daon, himself.. I just pity him. Through out the manwha; he goes through so much, too much. Having all these guys overwhelm him, with all their odd confessions and confusions about who he wants, I guess. I just sympathise, my boy wasn't given a break for a long time. In general, a really good manwha to analyse. Hit me, I enjoyed this

Of course, good food has to be a novel adaptation! A good, slow burn BL I will actually enjoy! I love it when authors put heart into their craft instead of selling something fast paced and not worth it in the long run. Will be patient for more of this manga's volume releases! So excited for what's to come:3

Oh this hurt.

Objectively 5 I'm just a romance girlie

Harada, you twisted evil genius. This is one I've been putting off for so long and finally reading—it was super worth it. I'm a very big fan of psychological fucked up romance mangas, especially when the writing is blunt and real to life, I couldn't care less about whatever trope, dynamic, situation an author will write, as long as it's done accurately. Harada, we have a messed up relationship. I forgive you for that other manga (Nii-chan) with this. It's not an ideal yaoi romance or anything like that, but it's top fucking tier in my book. The ominous panels shared carefully, the top tier dialogue, the character analysis and seeing such a self destructive character still continue to be self destructive because he isn't actually getting any help—I love it. Their dynamic is awesome, 2nd vol. Definitely elevated this manga. Both characters are great (not morally) in their own strengths, Shou reacts as how he should and so does Fukusuke. The way this author writes and depicts these characters thoughts, expressions and actions really show the thrill and tension of the whole manga; if there's a word for this kind of writing I'd say it's "blunt." Cause its rare food to get "yandere/manipulative" character dynamics isn't sugar-coated toxic romance. Give it to me straight! Give it to me *raw*! Harada, you surprised me everytime and I'm forever grateful that you've blessed us beloved readers with such a carefully and perfectly crafted yandere. I genuinely don't know if he's improved or not, and the implication he's still as evil it's just mwa. A really good interesting read. Thank you Harada-sensei PS. The Drama CD for this Manga is even greater; an elevated adaptation with a great cast of voice Actors. Especially Fukusuke's I love listening to. He encaspulates Fuku's duality so well, the way he masks and switches his tone, the changes in pitch that make it even more eerie than simply reading itself, everything about this manga is a masterpiece.
