First join the club, second here is a summery of what's going on:

*SPOILERS*
So Hyunwoo (Black haired MC) is mentally traumatized by the sudden death of his girlfriend of 10 years (Jihye). What's worse it, she died by being hit by a car Hyunwoo's mom was driving! Naturally, this makes Hyunwoo a tad un-hinged and his mom is guilt ridden.
Due to that, when she happens to see someone who looks just like Jihye, the mom can't help but beg for her help consoling her son by going on a date or two. The girl is actually our other MC (Jimin) and is a boy! Of course after meeting, the two MC's continue to develop and this pisses off Jimin's blond and sexy CHF (Jang-Gun). OF COURSE, Jang-Gun loves Jimin and has a creepy factor but he truly cares for Jimin so it's sweet/sad.

Where things take a turn for the confusing is when the "foreshadow" elements the author put in aren't utilized. We see what looks like, a possessed Jimin (possessed by Jihye), a doubleganger doctor version of Jang-Gun and bits of "wtf is going on" peppered throughout. Well, the possession part is explained but as for the doctor looking like Jang-gun...just disregard that. There is LITERALLY nothing explaining the connection between them and this was most likely due to the "Plot Twist" the author mentions on the final page--the one that was dropped and unexplained leaving us wondering.

*MORE SPOILERS*
It turns out that Hyunwoo's mom has cancer (so did Jihye apparently as a throw in wtf) and neither tells Hyunwoo for "his sake" so mom gets Jimin to dress like Jihye and pretend to be her ghost/illusion so Hyunwoo won't know of his presence there (since he's so used to seeing his dead ex by now that her being there goes unnoticed--lol poor guy) while Jimin helps out mom.

In the end, mom dies, Jimin loves Hyunwoo but Hyunwoo's been seeing/speaking to Jihye through Jimin (via drinking and talking to a passed out Jimin--though during the talks with blue-eyed Jimin, Jimin is actually passed out and what we see is an illusion through Hyunwoo's eyes) and is drop-kicked by Jang-gun. Wraps up with Hyunwoo and Jimin being honest, getting married, and surprisingly ends sweetly for them both. Jang-gun though gets an equally creepy boyfriend-to-be and...that's it. The End.

Honestly I wanted more Jang-Gun but I like how it doesn't end in tragedy. Just wish it wasn't so confusing with the sudden plot twist not happening. IMHO Jang-gun/Jimin were waaaaay better off together but Hyunwoo needed the support for sure. Amazingly intriguing read~

Me: "Bitch, the number you gave him starts with a '%' sign...who d'you think you're fooling!" lol. I know it's intentional to avoid real PN but it still made me chuckle. I'm used to 1-234-567 or 0-000-000 ect but never math equations (≧∀≦)

The 1st story was so cute and sweet with the mutual love between the MC's and the side story with Ray(Sunny) and his love/hate build up. The comments got me prepared for drama in the 2nd story (ch51+) but I actually really enjoyed it.

The 2nd story hooked me more than the 1st cuz I wanted to understand just WHY Sun was getting so much hate (and also about the toxic pair side couple) in the comments. I am sad about Sun--he was a heavy tsundere which I can live with but more than that, he was just emotionally MANIPULATIVE. Were his feelings for Taeju real? Sure, towards the end--but that doesn't excuse his toying with MC that way from the start. I love how it ends in the epilogue with Taeju showing character development by asking Doujoon out!

Honestly, the funniest parts are the ending pics the translator put up. That toe-ring part is just freaking gold cuz the same ring was like 3x that size a few chapters prior and I was just thinking "man, that ring got tiny!" and then that last page meme freaking killed me!
Another was ch86's ending meme featuring a female bad-ass from "Hate Mate" http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/hate_mate/?CDrP

(btw ch86 has that sexual assault warning but be aware, there is no actual sex/rape. Just some unwanted kisses but it can still trigger those who aren't prepared so just a heads up b4 I send people to that page for the meme!)

TL;DR: Have time? The 1st story is cute/fluffy. The 2nd story is more dramatic/edgy.

And then Ichijyou got hit by a truck. Not an Iseakai Truck-kun but like, a normal, non-isekai bus. Fujiwara finds a nice boy who isn't a psychopath after he comes to terms with only being sexually aroused by men. He spends the rest of his life coping with the loss of both Ichijyou and his innocence via life-long therapy. In the end, we find out Ichijyou survived...then an old lady smothers him Sangwoo style cuz why the fuck not at this point.

Sequel Ends... ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

SPOILERS AHEAD: So, this starts off with your basic naïve MC (Jinho) who's just become a Police Officer in Korea stopping the MLI because he thinks he's a pedo at an elementary school. He's not--his name is Hwanung and he's the sadistic school nurse who makes Jinho take him out for dinner in recompense. Things turn interesting though when Hwanung keeps pushing boundaries and Jihoon lays him out on the floor with some well placed shots! It all goes up from there, as Jihoon slowly starts to fall for Hwanung's teasing more and more until the neighborhood fish-cake shop gets a new employee--the shop owner's hot grandson Bumjoon! Bumjoon's straight *laughs* but is bored with life and starts to get interested in Jihoon. Hwanung and Bumjoon meet, hate each other, and continue vying for the affections of the nearly oblivious Jihoon. Since Jihoon see's Bumjoon as a friend, all it takes is a few drinks and the right words for Bumjoon to take advantage of Jihoon's innocence and kiss/leave bite-marks. This all wraps up with a thrilling police investigation leaving a certain someone hurt, the two MC's together, and a less than stellar ending that thankfully has a (direct?) sequel: http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/stop_at_the_red_light/?hvZo

Hope that helps those of you on the fence or otherwise unsure what's going on since a lot of the comments seem to be about shipping pairs.

Girl has premonition dream and meets an emperor from another world who offers her one of MANY king-ships. She says no, he says she'll get paid billions, she's all for it. The story continues and she realizes her country will be going to war--now she wants out. It ends with her taking charge after all, kinda/sorta hooking up with dream guy and the last panel shows that the Scholar and Premonition Dream Guy from 1st chapter were friends (lovers?).

Anyways, the premises isn't bad but the story's execution is just bat-shit confusing. Especially if you're one of those people who likes details or decent hand-waving.

TL;DR: This is only 6 chapters but I would still recommend something else if only cuz this is "meh" at best. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

SPOILERS AHEAD: So basically, Doha and Yeojoon are a Werewolf-Hybrid and a Fox-Hybrid with Doha being half wolf and half human, same as his sister who is plot-irrelevant. Doha bumps into Yeojoon and hates his rudeness but Yeojoon later discovers Doha boinking the teacher. Doha goes from trying to make sure Yeojoon stays quiet to falling in love with him (somewhat implied to be due to "pheromones" and/or "heat" though never stated). This makes a one night fling turn into a game of cat and mouse with Wolf-Hybrid Doha trying to get closer to Yeojoon whilst the latter tries to keep away due to mysterious issues from his past. In the end, Teacher is a total slut, Doha and Yeojoon end up with each other and work on their issues, and the story ends without much closure on minor characters like Teacher, Little-Puma-Looking Stalker, nor anyone else.

All in all, a short read that doesn't offer a lot of sexy time scenes but also could've used more time to wrap up the plot. Would recommend if you like the premise of School Days mixing with A/O universe. Otherwise, there are just SO many other stories that shine more. ( ̄0  ̄)/

It starts off humorous and stays that way the entire ride but the amount of plot and story picks up as you go. At first, things are simply about drawing manga with an occasional fanservice here and there. Then after the "movie making" arc, things get soo much more interesting! The amount of fanservice increases dramatically (bordering on the edge of what shonen-ai can do--:3) but the plot actually gets better! There is some seriously funny stuff in here (look mid way down ch 54 and towards the end of ch59 for a seriously funny moment...a take on "Alien" and then a 2 page long dick-saber XD).

After the halfway point, the story deviates into stories within stories as our MC and his friend show off their own Manga--the friend's being a historical yaoi drama and the MC showing us a school life BL meets zombies (featuring "iron tongue kung-fu") All the way to the end this both points out and makes fun of all types of common BL tropes and I have to say, they do it so well (ch 81 and causality XD).

TL;DR: Want something that's both sexy and different (but not "adult)--read this! It's funny as hell too! (╯°Д °)-o

The author is NOT a pedo for a minimum of two reasons. #1: The characters are drawings, not real people and therefore cannot be held to the same standards as if they were real. MORE IMPORTANTLY #2: THE KOREAN AGE OF CONSENT IS 16 YEARS OLD! (risen from the recent 13 years old, so be happy). So while in America, he'd be creeping on underage kids, THIS IS KOREAN AND THESE CHARACTERS ARE LEGAAAAAAAL~

Just wanted to make sure everyone understood that. Pedophillia IS WRONG and we should hold people accountable to the law but only people who ACTUALLY break the law.

If you disagree, then fine. To each their own--read my profile pic and you'll get it
