(miyabi + haruto )
+ acad rivals to friends to lovers !! the peakest ABO couple :')) MC's an alpha that was labeled as a delinquent because of what happened in his previous school. ML's the student council president of the former's new school who pretends to not be an omega to avoid discrimination
+ from there, they become rivals to friends because MC discovers ML's secret & helps him recover from his trauma :(( warning because there will be depictions of SA & abuse from ML (but it's not related to MC !!!)
+ this had one of the most realistic representation of ABO couples (◞‸◟♡) they each had their own form of trauma from their pasts, and they slowly healed each other by being together (T_T)
+ it's quite rare to see such a green flag alpha, bro he was soooooo freaking kind :< i'm truly glad that ML was able to learn and experience the feeling of being and expressing love
+ this will probably too long if i keep ranting about how much i LOVE this story, but to keep it short, reading this was a healing experience !! great pacing the intimacy & chemistry ???? HELLO! the growth & development across most characters the timeline? I LOVE TIME SKIPS ૮(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)ა the art is gorgeous too ^^ everything was just perfect
+ for those who despise ML's family, i am with you guys~ but i do think it was just right for ML to forgive them because he's now able to move forward with his life without all that emotional baggage & pain i did want him to get justice because he was technically abused as a child and even sexually harassed by multiple people, and they were never held accountable
+ anyway, i'm just happy because they finally got a heartwarming ending amidst all those melancholic encounters ( ˶ˊᜊˋ˶ ) i wish we got to see them have a family of their own though would've loved to see them gentle parent their kids >< manifesting for some extras HEHE props to the author for creating such masterpiece for their debut work !!!
(seojin + yoon )
+ childhood friends to (lowkey) enemies & roommates to lovers basically, MC has been pining for his childhood friend (ML) for years now. so what does he do? he annoys the shit out of him in order to try burying his feelings but, temptations occur... he ends up kissing ML every damn night (⊙_⊙)
+ i loved this YES! however, MC never apologized for harassing ML in his sleep... i was also kinda bothered because even after they got together, he can't keep his hands to himself
+ don't get me wrong, i love down bad tops !!! but bro... give ML some room to process things anyway, ML does give in eventually so ig it wasn't noncon (´･_･`)?
+ i wish this was a bit more longer though !!!! they were so cute would've loved to see more domesticity from them hehehe art's cute too this definitely deserves a higher rating ^^
(huijae + beomjoon )
+ flings to lovers? to be specific, they started out with a loan shark x errand boy relationship where MC had to escape to a faraway island since his stepdad was being hunted down by loan sharks. once he settles in the said island, he bumps to another set of loan sharks with ML as their boss
+ first, i would just like to say that even though i rated this a bit low, i was still able to enjoy this because of how funny the dynamic is between the MCs !!! like the comedy's the only one saving this, i fear ( ◔‸◔ ) also the granny & aunties ><
+ to be honest, this actually had a good start since MC & ML had a good relationship—especially with stories featuring loan sharks & in debt characters~ however, everything went downhill when shit was starting to unfold
+ the sudden ??? plus why the fuck was that bully character added, man he was so fucking annoying istg !!!! (¬_¬") also, the plot got even messier and was wrapped up in a rushed manner
+ idek if the plot holes would be answered in the side stories as the MCs just keep doing it but anyway, the art's pretty & i loved MC's facial expressions he is soooo expressive LMAO and again, the comedy was great ^0^
(junsu + taemu + taehyeong )
+ starting off with the warnings : rape, murder, gore, & torture; very psychological so be warned :)) i don't even think this should be considered bl? but ig it's still a queer story since MC is gay (◍•ᴗ•◍)
+ uhm well,, MC's a newly assigned doctor at a prison. shit happened (earthquake struck the prison) and the prisoners went berserk the ML(s) killed almost everyone except MC,, and they made him their "dog" (⊙_⊙)
+ you might be wondering, why tf did i rate this 4.5 stars? let me tell you, this was actually a masterpiece if you were to read this with the psychological genre shades on, you'll definitely understand why! i'm not justifying what the MLs did, but i do believe that the system failed them :(( and that's a sad reality
+ i never expected to cry over this !!! i read this to goon, but i ended up being so emotional because of the ending as well as the MLs' back story (╥﹏╥) they just wanted to feel loved :(( they just wanted to be understood :(( the bond between the three, although alarming & unsettling, felt quite comforting in a way? i felt a sense of found family, even for a short moment
+ a lot of people may disagree, however i believe the author made the right choice by giving us an open ending i say this since it gives the audience the freedom to imagine an ending that befits their own narrative and judgement about the characters & story itself ૮(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)ა the readers are free to think whether both the MLs died while MC's freed from their grasp; or they could also imagine a happy ending where MC actually asked for help and went back to rescue both MLs
+ either way, i think it was such a well-written piece the art is gorgeous !!! i love these kinds of technique maybe i'm quite biased for someone in the field of psychology, but this really touched my heart :(( i can see that the twins definitely had some goodness in their hearts, it's just that they were never educated & treated well they all deserved better (T_T)
(yuuma + kaito )
+ childhood sweethearts to strangers to lovers MC's used to seeing ghosts & scary entities. because of an accident, he lost some of his memories—specifically during the summer he spent with ML BUT DON'T WORRY! they eventually meet again after 6 years (>ᴗ•) !
+ the plot was insane they were so cute & lowkey weird LMAO weird in a spooky way !!! ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ◍) i love reencounter tropes like this where the MCs used to be past lovers~ the reincarnation though ??? HELLO !! they loved each other in all of their lifetimes
+ i just realized that all of those ghosts that clung to ML were probably all the other variants (?) of MC from their past lives (T_T) gosh :(( i'm so glad they finally got their peace—both their past & present selves :'))
+ i love LOVE how supportive their friends are !!! even MC's mom so happy that the stars finally aligned for them (◞‸◟♡) they truly deserved each other ><
+ overall, this was so beautiful !! the art, the plot, the dynamic, the message, etc. i wish this gets an official translation since some bits were kind of confusing to decipher ALSO, we need more extras !!!!! i need to see them living together ( ˶ˊᜊˋ˶ ) my lovelies <3
(hyun + jaesung )
+ acad rivals to fubus to lovers both of them had their fair share of POVs so i'll just tag jaesung as the MC btw live laugh love acad rivals (badly need more recos)
+ basically, MC used to be #1 in everything up until ML (his sunbae) came back from a sem off (?) additionally, MC had some problems with his thing down there... little did he know that ML's camboy lives will be the only thing that will make his big weapon go hard again ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ◍)
+ this was a reread and DAMN i forgot how ridiculous they were ik the pacing was kind of fast and the plot was meh (nothing new) BUT they were still such a fun couple to read !!! even the side couple was so funny (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎)
+ i wish they communicated more though,, LMAO they always just went straight to fucking like rabbits (can't blame them) however, i still appreciate MC's character development ^^ you can see how he genuinely treasures ML ₍ᐢ..ᐢ₎♡
+ anyway, i really had fun reading this again i was just wheezing the whole time because of how silly and witty they all are the panels are so freaking GOOFY bro (T_T) plus the art is fantastic this author needs to make more comedic BLs because this was a hit (>ᴗ•) !
i'm SOOO loving this finally a mafia ABO that values consent ???? plus we have a yearner ???? another ryu ian in the making i just hope it doesn't go downhill from here looking forward to their future baby (author-nim,, let us see the baby !!!) o(╥﹏╥)o
(kaga + seto )
+ friends to lovers :)) MC has strange ass nightmares every night. one day, he finds himself in a police station because he thought he killed someone. ML's the policeman who'll help him get through those nightmares
+ the premise was quite interesting~ as someone who chronically gets nightmares & dreams almost everyday, i totally related to this !!! how i wish i also had someone i could talk to about it like MC ><
+ i lowkey liked the pacing both of them were just mutually pining for each other and have been going on "dates" for the past 6 months ???? (◍•ᴗ•◍)
+ love how supportive ML's coworkers were LMAO they also gossiped a LOT MC's senpai was also quite perceptive; he was also MC's silent cheerleader ૮(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)ა
+ overall, this was such a wholesome read ^0^ i wish we got to see more of their domestic, lovey-dovey scenes though but nonetheless, they were still pretty adorable & the art is gorgeous
(isaac + theodore )
+ childhood enemies to roommates to friends to lovers to estranged exes to lovers AGAIN MC & ML used to be boarding school roommates, but something happened one summer day that changed their lives (T_T)
+ ik this is not the most laid out thing ever BUT i just love them :(( i think both of them are sooo precious even though it was a short story, i still felt the love & longing they had for one another (◞‸◟♡)
+ it's such a reread material hehe i love pretty tops !!! i love how supportive their bestie, james, is ^^ even ML's family is so supportive of them >< i wish we got to see more side stories
+ i would also like to mention how much i loved the setting the scenery & vibes are insane~ also, their english dialogue is HILARIOUS the way they call each other "mate" will never not be funny ヽ(≧∀≦)ﾉ my little bloody bfs
+ anyway, this was such a cutesy fun read ^0^ i'm looking forward to more works from this author soon because i'm so obsessed with their art manifesting for a full length series
(wooheon + jinha )
+ childhood friends to roommates to lovers because of one drunken night, MC who has been pining for ML since they were kids, had a ONS with the latter mutual pining & "they were roommates" trope (>ᴗ•) !
+ for a short story, it was okay~ i just think it wasn't that fleshed out? ( ◔‸◔ ) like,, there wasn't much substance to them i won't lie, they were CUTE! but i just didn't feel the connection that much...
+ the premise was okay too ^^ i just think their relationship after being officially together should've been executed better i wish we got to see them being all lovey-dovey (T_T)
+ all in all, art was pretty !!! story wise, it was average; although, the ending was lowkey rushed... i hope there will be more extras to compensate :'))
