Amazing art, sweet story, genuine love.
I can't believe no one has reviewed this yet!
It's been so long since I've read a story that involved two people learning of the love they have for one another without there needing to be an outside source creating jealousy, one of them leaving the other to make them realize it or one of them abusing the other into loving them.
The quiet way that they communicated their love nonverbally made me squeal. I was smiling during every chapter and this is a must read for anyone who wants that consentual, subtle short and sweet BL with yaoi as the last

Short and sweet. Downtrodden meets motivated. They work together to turn over a new leaf, partially for themselves and partially for the other. Along the way they get used to each other's company, even after an embarrassing moment they're able to move on and reaffirm their goals.
The art was beautiful and the story, albeit a tad typical in character personalities, I liked the different environment that they developed together in. It's not long enough to feel like the development was realistic so don't expect to walk away from this story thinking "omg they worked so hard and went through so much and came out ... Sep 17, 2024

Holy shit if this isn't the most messed up yet somehow amazing story I've read in a while.
The abuse was hard to take at first, I mean it's ROUGH. Hardcore non-con turned romance. The humor had me laughing so many times, even my kids were asking what was so funny, especially in chapters 30-36. The hatred that Euihyun has for Taeju for most of the story is volitile and I love it. The Mangaka does a great job illustrating the realistic level of anxiety, depression and nonstop thinking of the "what ifs" one would have in his situation. Taeju's ability to take every puch, kick and attack ... Aug 21, 2024
Ookami wo Karu Housoku

It was so good that I bought the novel. Also because the comic omits a part, noting that it's in the novel and I was sooooo curious.
No regrets. Read the comic and the novel. So good! Also bought the second novel lol it's a three novel series. The art isn't extravagant, it's the story that pulls you in. You have someone who's not gay suddenly mater with someone who is and just up and decides "welp, this is my mate so I'm going to woo him whether he likes it or not!". Afterwards they get to go through family drama and death threats. Pretty amazing. Aug 12, 2024
Houtou Musuko to Koi no Ana

I can see how the average Westerner would see this story and be weirded out by the cousin thing. Western culture has normalized a certain moral standard that influences our perception, especially for those with no/little knowledge of cultural norms that exist worldwide.
With that in mind, this story did a really good job with the character development, especially given it's length. You get to know why the characters feel the way they feel and see how those feelings change, and become stronger. With real world challenges put forward as the catalyst rather than the typical tropes of "I still love you just because" or "I don't ... Apr 22, 2024
It's Just a Dream... Right?!

This was a very well written story. There is a "not recommended" review so I had to add one to help bolster the other "recommended" on.
The primary premise behind the reviewers discouragement of reading this manwha is do to one scene, towards the end that is dubcon. It for sure pushes the boundaries of noncon for sure. I absolutely disagree that the one scene paints the entire story in that light though. If dubcon or noncon is a hard limit for you then absolutely please don't read that part. You could skip that scene altogether and not miss anything of importance about the overall story. Just ... Apr 13, 2024
At the End of the Road

Underrated Manwah. This story does such a great job giving the characters personality. I mean the story tends to be carried by the fact that the MC has a. Distinct personality that is noticable to Min Woojin.
On top of that the typical trope of "the past coming to haunt them" is so well done. It felt like a TV drama as the past was incrementally revealed with each chapter, with the sudden plot twist that provides the answer to the question Taemin has had about Woojin's disappearance. And just to provide a quote that made me freaking shiver: "I want to invade...as deeply as I can ... Apr 2, 2024

If siblings sharing sexual partners is not your thing then don't read this manga. Otherwise this story isn't as bad as the other review it's making it seem, which is why I'm making a review.
While the plot isn't anything new; uke in trouble, seme(s) assist under conditions that include sexual satisfaction, uke falling for seme(s), etc. This story has a wonderful plot twist towards the end that makes it less gross and underhanded and more cute and sweet. Mitsuki is kind of annoying with how he doesn't seem to have ANY curiosity about his own situation but it is adorbs how he learns more about Rei ... Mar 27, 2024
Go Jin and Gam-rae

This was a Master. Freaking. Piece.
Granted things moved fairly quickly in the story, it had wonderful dra to draw you in and a great base to hold the story down. Watching the characters grow due to the influence of one another was adorable and if I didn't "squeeeee!" Like a million times in this story. This is the cutest freaking story I've read so far. Gam Rae is just all around kind and forgiving and Go Jin is such a wonderfully loving and protective partner. Their relationship is ideal and I want to continue reading more stories with relationships that are so loving and healthy. Granted they struggle to ... Mar 19, 2024
Love Is an Illusion!

I had to drop this series mostly because I just can't stand how toxic the relationship is. It's basically a relationship between someone who is constantly verbally abusive and takes advantage of their partner, never being honest with themselves and taking every opportunity to get out of apologizing and someone who is overly forgiving.
No matter how bad it gets Dojin forgives Hye-Sung for literally everything. It honestly just pisses me off. If you can get past that part of the character design then go for it. The story has great detail and their journey would be cute if there was some character development, but I made ... |
