GlisteningRain's Favorite

If I remember correctly it was an episodic manga (each chapter treated a different story but with the same characters)

The characters hang out at a cafe a lot and their job consists of fulfilling request (kinda detective-ish I think? If I remember correctly they had to find evidence that their client's partner was cheating in the first chapter)

The MC (a girl) wants to find a boyfriend (the manga is not centered on romance tho) and I might be mis-remembering but I think she had a certain power. Seeing a person's future when touching them maybe?

Anyway, I would be very thankful if anyone tells me its name. Sorry for the vague description, it's been a while since I read it.

I am looking for a manga that I only remember some of the points so I might be wrong on some parts. I think it is a completed psychological manga (?). It is placed in a university/college, one girl dresses like a tomboy also she has a childhood friend (?) that treats her like a boy, one girl is a university/college student that dresses up as a high schooler and does enjo kosai. The highschool dress-up girl wants to keep the tomboy from becoming more girly. I think she seduces the childhood friend(?) too. Sorry if this made no sense ┗( T﹏T )┛

Damn Zichen, my boy, that's not what I meant when I said "quickly, just fall for him".

I read this manga a while back and i still can't get it out of my mind but the problem is that I don't remember the title anymore. Can someone help me find it?
So basically the plot is about this guy (the mc) that is very shy but likes filming (or was it photography?), and want to be a reporter but he's too shy and timid, but one day he meets this blond girl that is very popular in his school and become friends and she invites him to her group of friend. Blah blah he falls in love with her but she is in love with her best friend but won't confess her love then she finds out he is going to transfer to america and she starts crying and the mc conforts her. And that's all since that was the last update.
Please PLEASE if you know the title let me know bc it was a great shoujo!

it was about a high school kind of depressive quiet dude (has a siscon) that met (on a bridge in the rain) a blonde haired girl with a black bowtie/tie/knot in her hair ? that has some kind of power related to an indian god (some kind of reincarnation or vessel)
turns out he is the reincarnation of asura too
they start fighting other high school students that are the reincarnation of other gods

hes super protective of his sister cause when they were young she almost died (theres something about a bridge) protecting him and i think she had a disability because of that accident (was she blind?) and their parents resent him for that so he lives with his grandma
his sister is the reincarnation of shiva and saves him in the end
and we find out he had already met that blonde girl when they were young but he forgot, he used to be much brighter and was the one who gave her the ribbon

Looking for yaoi manga where the uke was once married and has a daughter. The seme is a baker that becomes interested in him and kinda lures him with sweets for his daughter so he can get closer to him.

Can anyone see the cat in this picture or do I just not know how to cross my eyes?

HELP, I want to find this manga/manhwa
Long time ago, I read a manga/manhwa (can't clearly remember) about an artist (maybe mangaka, but surely he DRAWS sth) who was cheated by his girlfriend. And his girlfriend is cheating him with his friend, thanks to the friend's mobile Phone, he sees their texts. Then he accidentally kills his friend (If I am not wrong, his friend dies because of his pens) and he tries to hide the body by burning(?) it. I can't remember the rest but I remember he goes convenince store with disguising himself and scared of the police man while going there. It wasn't something romantic or sexual. It was not very long story. Maybe it is tagged with ''psychological''
I hope someone knows the name of this manga. ┗( T﹏T )┛

As someone who is witnessing this issue from Korea, I say that, before everyone start hating lezhin completely, please, at lease try to see where they are coming from. Lezhin has been a very good company. What they are bragging about it their FAQs about their competent pay, the opportunities when you work with them, are all true. Problems only started to arise when they established the international site which is the US lezhin. The problem is, South Korea has very different rules as compared to the international laws so they have to do a lot of adjustments. Let's take a look at what happened just this year of 2017.

1. The web novel service was closed. (I wouldn't blame the company for this entirely. THEY are a company. And business is indeed BUSINESS. They aren't charity, so when they saw that the web novels are not profiting and instead, are making them loose money, they stopped it. They went through proper protocol. They gave 30 DAYS notice to all the writers. The problem with this is, they didn't properly pay off the writers with their separation fees and breach of contract fees. Everyone received their pays very late, as opposed to what Lezhin has promised them, and some didn't even received their payments.)

2. Issues with international cut offs from English sales. (A lot of authors are complaining about how they didn't receive their international revenues for months now. Lezhin has already responded to the issue about problems with syncing their financial accounts because of international laws. You see, the authors aren't the only ones losing here, because Lezhin also has to pay a lot of fines due to this issue. What I hated about this, is how the creators took to twitter, instead of organizing a union and directly confronting lezhin authorities. And on Lezhin's side, they didn't even made an effort to talk to the authors, too.)

3. The recent call of authors for even international fans to sign up a petition on tax investigation regarding lezhin accounts. (You see, I mentioned above about the problems with the accounts and financial laws both domestic and international. Lezhin already has a problem about this one since US Lezhin is established. If the artists keep kicking Lezhin while the company is already at its knees, they would also be hurting themselves in the process. And also, I don't know if you have signed up for the petition, but I hope you won't. I hope you make an effort to understand what was written in there first. I don't understand why they do this when a lot of international fans can't even read and understand Korean. Koogi's tweet of calling international fans to sign up and simply copy paste that you agree, is by our law, will not even be counted in the vote ins. This is kind of hypocritical of them also, because back then, they were so aggressive to international fans because of illegal uploads, to the point of them resorting to name calling and making fun of how "international fans" are so thirsty and desperate just because fans don't understand their tweets. I'm serious. Try scrolling back through most of the popular BL webtoon artists and look through the replies. You'll see what I'm talking about.

4. Overall, you would see that majority could be blamed on Lezhin, but it is not because they wanted these to happen, neither it is because they don't care about their artists, like what a lot of people are thinking. Lezhin has 5000+ series and counting. (Korean and English site combined). Provided that there are manga and non-Lezhin exclusive artists included in there, their artists must be numbering around 500~ or even more. It's not easy to cater to everyone equally. Their editing department is even less numbered. That's why a lot of changes happened, like how they established a rule about submitting a completed chapter 2 days before the upload date. This has taken a toll to creators who have a weekly deadline because that just gives them 5days to create. The point with this is, lezhin wanted to make sure that they will be uploading quality chapters. You must've noticed how a lot of creators are retweeting before how they made a mistake so fans should go back to read the chapter again an hour or two after the upload schedule of their chapters. A lot of korean fans have complained about this practice, for a lot of reasons. That's why Lezhin made that move. They didn't do this simply to torture the artists. They did this so they can catch mistakes if there are any. I think they should've consulted and made an arrangement with the authors first regarding this issue, so that every one could've voiced their opinions and planned for necessary adjustments.

What I'm trying to say is, there are always two sides to an issue. And you, as a reader, as a fan, should always be aware of them. This is the age of the internet, so we should make effort to double up our skills in analyzing and awareness. Don't just jump on something that someone said just because you liked their works, and you are so bent on supporting them. The only way to properly support them is to buy their works legally, even if you are reading from a site like this. (Because let's face it, I am also reading from this site.) My references for these are from twitter mostly in the reply sections of main tweets that a lot of fans dont often see. (So please, make an effort. I don't care if you google translate the tweets, just so you will have an idea about the entire picture, not just a very small part of it.)

To people are are syaing "why now?", the removal of Lezhin series from here are only to be expected. They have been filing for the copyrights months ago. Due process only dictates that they have to go through proper processes in accordance to law that's why it took them months to get here now. So yeah. Everyone, enjoy it while it last. Stop giving shit to lezhin, stop giving shit to creators, basically stop giving shit to our fellow readers, because seriously, the fact that we're here reading doesn't give us the right to complain about anything, unless we all go to the official site to buy and then send our complains through the Lezhin feedback system.

Thank you for reading up until here.

Ok so I’ve read it like two years ago so sorry if it makes no sense
- the manga I’m looking for was about a girl who writes bl comics I believe or maybe just comics in general but anyway a celebrity moves next door to her.... they have met before in school but she doesn’t remember he starts cooking for her and checking up on her and she at first though he was gay I think ???? Sorry this isn’t much ┗( T﹏T )┛

[PLEASE READ TILL THE END TO HAVE A MEANINGFUL DISCUSSION]

This didn't portray BDSM correctly at all! BDSM is built on consent. Remember this acronym dear children: FRIES
Freely Given
Reversible
Informed
Enthusiastic
Specific

1. Freely Given
This means that there was no coercion involved. No substances were forced on the individual such as alcohol to get them to a state where they would say something that they don't actually mean. In the manga, Akihito is drunk when he says that he is willing to have Shizuru do anything to him. Meaning that he is unable to give consent as he is not in his right mind. Shizuru had nothing to do with Akihito's alcohol intake prior to their meeting, but he could certainly take advantage of the situation and use it to his advantage. The fact that Akihito woke up with no initial memory of what happen only further proves that the "decision" he made was not a legitimate one and was not to be taken as actual consent.

2. Reversible
Most yaoi fail miserably at this. The seme says, "Even if you say 'no' later on I won't stop," or some iteration of that. This is not consent. You have the right to revoke your consent at anytime and for any reason. If you don't want to do it five minutes later, that is your right. If you get hungry, sleepy, feel sick, or whatever--it's your body and your right to say when you want to stop. This is especially important in a scene (BDSM lingo). You need a safe word to signal to the other that you want to stop. All parties need one. This is not only for the sub, but also for the dom/me and any other participants as well.

3. Informed
This manga does this terribly. You need to know what you are consenting to. You can NOT spring shit up randomly. If you're doing a scene with your dom/me and they start paddling you when you two never agreed upon this, then that is a break of consent. Most people write up a contract and make sure that everything is confirmed before engaging in the scene. This very important. It is not up to one party to decide what happens. That is going against individual autonomy and highly unethical. Shizuru telling Akihito that he was just going to have to do whatever he says in the playroom is absolutely fucking ridiculous. Akihito has no fucking clue what Shizuru could do. He could fucking electrocute him or do blood play with him or put him in a body bag. BDSM gets very fucking dark and gets very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. You have the right to know what is happening to your body. How the hell can you give consent when you don't know what it is that you're consenting to.
I know my shit when it comes to BDSM. Akihito did not. He needed to be taught way before even trying anything. He obviously never dabbled in the lifestyle before (for many people it is a 24/7 thing). So he needed to be educated and not just thrown in. Informed consent requires all parties to be informed. Why the hell do I need to say this?!

4. Enthusiastic
This is really obvious. You need to be very sure that you want to do something. If you are taking forever to respond, then you don't need to do it. If you are on the fence, then you don't need to do it. Stop try to please the other party. You need to be selfish and think about yourself. This is your body. So you have every right to say no.
Akihito was very unsure in many situations because he felt torn between his feelings for Shizuru and his unfamiliarity and discomfort with Shizuru's lifestyle. "I can only love you like this." That's some bullshit right there. Yes, there are people who center BDSM as a very important and almost integral part of their life, but it is not impossible to love someone outside of your lifestyle. Sure, for some people BDSM is more of a hobby or somewhere in between. However, Shizuru gives off the 25/8 dom/master who needs to feel in control. He totally took advantage of Akihito's feelings for him in order to get him to comply with his demands.

5. Specific
This goes hand-in-hand with "Informed"
This is what I am consenting to. You need to be specific about what is being discussed. If you agreed upon a scene where there is breath play but instead are suspended and subjected to sensory deprivation then that is a violation of consent. You consented to breath play NOT sensory deprivation and suspension. "That's not what I ordered!" This manga really didn't go into specifics with their scenes which they didn't even call "scenes" because the manga posited Shizuru as the sole person able to make decisions about their play, which is goes against everything that consent is about.

In BDSM, I'm sure you've all heave of Safe Sane and Consensual (SSC). Now there has been a lot of talk over the years about how problematic this is and how it could be improved upon. The acronym RACK was created to mean "Risk Aware Consensual Kink". This essentially means that you are aware of the all of the potential risks involved in whatever type of play you are going to be engaging in and are giving your full consent (refer to FRIES). Need I remind you that another pillar of BDSM is after play. This can take numerous forms and means something different to each person who is in the BDSM community. The are general things that people can do but there are also very specific "rituals" that people will follow after they play and these can be very specific to the parties involved and their individual needs. Communication is key in this because needs can and will change so after care will look differently as a result.

This was not to bash this manga, but I cannot stand when harmful messages about BDSM are pushed in any media and more often than not the representation in the media is very misinformed which is why there are so many people praising this manga. They have absolutely no idea how inaccurate the manga was.
"But it would be boring if it was." No it wouldn't. Why do you think there are real people in BDSM?? The creator can create an interesting and accurate portrayal of BDSM. Plus you all could learn something. It's the creator who can make or break something. I've read stories about things I had no prior interest in and was sucked into it because the author wrote about it in such a way, while still being accurate to the real thing, that I was hooked and wanted to just keep learning more. Mangaka are fully capable of researching BDSM and making a well-researched and well-written story where the characters all have full agency and are enjoying themselves as a result. Akihito never got to voice what he wanted. He even had a little side thought at one point. "This seems unfair." I believe that was the approximate phrasing. Yes! It was unfair. What about his pleasure? What if Akihito wanted to try something? What if he wanted to discontinue something? Shizuru made it seem like it was his way or the highway. That is how he came across. He made it seem like a "no" to what he wanted was a "no" to their entire relationship. That was not right.
It was still entertaining and I did like it, but I don't feel right now bringing up all of those issues that were so pervasive. This manga was not long t all. If it was at least a few volumes long if not longer and was well fleshed out. Shit! I would be praising it on all of my platforms. They said five years passed. Shit, show us those five years please. Those years were material for more story goddamn it! More volumes = more money. Whatever. That's all I wanted to say.

a movie/MV set gets the mc to substitute or something, she has to jump off the balcony wearing some kind of ethereal/angel costume which consists of a dress + a longish hair wig

the ML falls in love with her because the scene of her coming down the balcony was really pretty or something

later he sees her in a room, where she takes off the long haired wig and is shocked (her original hairstyle is short hair)
she is surprised and runs out of the room

this shoujo had kind of an older artstyle

Heeeyyy looking for this like manga about a prince which was like cursed to have like a strong libido so that he needs to have sex to calm down then he went to a masked ball and then had sex with his supposed fiancee

It's a really old shoujo that I read back when I was young and i was just discovering reading manga online. Anyway today why browsing I remember I never finished it so I wanted to check it out. I tried searching it by myself but the plot is too generic so I can't seem to pin point it.

Plot:
There's a high school girl that is looked down and bullied by everyone because her brother is a model. Said brother is younger than her and bullied the girl often too. The heroine is the typical clumsy and odd (overeacting and is dramatically cringy) those type of protagonist people usually don't like because she's too exaggerated or clumsy. Plus I remember she has some really hideous big twintail. Anyway she gets bullied and all (but not serious bullying more like mocking) but one day she met a guy that is gentle with her and i think she falls for him. That's when the little brother got weird and possessive or angry but still treat the sister like trash ( he doesn't show he is bothered by the new guy). Not really sure ends up with the new guy since after a few chapters this guy tease her often to the point she doesn't see him romantically. I think... Idk. XD anyway they grew closer because new guy cheer often the heroine while teasing her.

My biggest clue about this manga is that it has the same art style and level of cliche of Hwang mi-ri's works. I tried browsing her works but.... I haven't found it and the plot description were so enigmatic and dramatic i feel like they purposely didn't describe everything of the start of the story. I also fear i missed it.

Thanks in advance if you find this old manga!

Guys, can you help me find this shoujo manga? Or if you know it please reply.

This one's a one-shot.

So it starts of with the Mc and her bf on a date. They were strolling along the sidewalk when they heard commotion from above them.

Then they saw huge construction metal falling from above them. The boy then pushed the mc out of the way getting his legs crushed by the metal.

The boy was quickly sent to the hospital but due to all the surgeries, medication, and the rehabilitation process, the costs was expensive.

But the girl didn't have any job, (i forgot if she was an orphan or not), but she ended up sleeping wuth different men to get the money she needs to pay for her bf's hospital bills.

After paying for the hospital bills, which her bf didn't know as the mc wanted to remain anonymous, her bf was very happy and is now in rehab. But the mc wasn't feeling well and got herself checked up.

The doctor said that she had a disease (i forgot what kind) but the girl couldn't afford it and she didn't want to burder her bf.

But the word soon got to the bf that the mc has slept with other men and they got a huge argument to the point where the bf said something hurtful causing the mc to storm out in tears.

The bf (who can partially walk now) was called by the doctor who checked up on the girl and said that the person who actually paid for the expense was the mc and that she was very, very sick for quite some time now.

The bf then ran to find the girl but to find her surrounded by a crowd. Some were mocking her and some were pointing at her calling her a slut, etc.

When he was finally able to push his way through the crowd the girl was not moving anymore. But she was able to move her eyes.

The girl told the boy, "Do you remember our promise?" The boy was in tears by then and he nodded running towards the place of promise.



Yeah guys, do you guys know it?

So basically the story is about a girl who is very jealous of her "best friend" to the point she hates her,but her "best friend" is like obsessed with her,anyways the girl joins the newspaper club i think and meets this boy and i guess they liked each other,so she ends up telling her "best friend" that she likes him and her "best friend" is like me too i like him too,i like whatever you like,and then it stopped updating...

Hello, I'm looking for this manga wherein the uke was accidentally kissed by the seme and since the seme didn't recognize him he had a cinderella thing where he kissed a lot of girls to find who the person he kissed before was, i remember the 2nd story being about the seme's cousin and a dude who liked him and transferred to their school who is secretly a model

I just read walk on water and most of the reviews are positive. Please someone out there tell me they saw that manga for the monstrosity it really was. I can’t be the only one

It's a manga about a girl and her older brother, they liked each other and I think they date, and at some point we find out one of them is adopted or something. I read years ago and never saw the ending so I hope someone remembers it lol

What is the title of a manhwa where a female students accidently swaps sketchbook with a boy. She thinks his art is ugly, but everyone thinks its better than her style. When they switch back he insults her art. She tries to imitate it but fails. Thanks.
