Bad Friend

Complete | Hkmi | 2019 released

THIS SHT IS FUKING AMAZING. THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE LEADS PLUS THE ACTUAL GOOD PLOT AND THE FUCKING DRAMA AND PLOT TWISTS IM LIVING FOR ALL OF IT. between the two leads i love their whole dynamic of them being enemies but the line for that slowly blurred and they stared having sex and then having feelings for each other. the author made it so amazing how they transferred from rivals to kinda fiends and fooling around to falling in love and being each others only family/person they held dear. ik a lot of stories do a horrible job at that and the feelings come from no where but omg this story does an amazing job at it and i can't wait to see more. i also love all the emotions the mcs go through. the happiness, the rage, them falling in love, them feeling betrayed, their regret. their emotions are depicted so well and detailed its insane. especially in chp. 38 i think, when haon is saying how he regrets surviving (as a fair point, he didn't actually mean it and he was being drugged BUT) and the way it's depicted in drawings and words in that chapter is mind-blowing and idk if i'll ever see a better depiction of regret ever. the way he feels that every death that has happened after he 'died' was his fault bc it was to avenge him and that he knows he didn't directly cause those deaths but still feels that they weigh him down and eat him alive from the inside. that even tho he feels that deep regret and guilt, he still will that that hand that gon reaches out to him every time without hesitation. even through all that emotion he still can't help but trust and love the one person he holds dear. and his saying no that he didn't forgive gon for those deaths but that he doesn't forgive himself for living to see it. it's so sad and human that even in all of this he doesn't see gon as a bad person and even after killing so many people he can only blame himself. which is so sad yet realistic. i truly never wish he saw himself like that bc it's so sad to see but what was even more sad was how i could relate to him in a way. that scene was almost like a depiction of any sort of thing that causes one guilt and regret and feeling so consumed by it. and even when a person/people reach their hand out to you saying that its alright now and it's ok to move on, you still feel that guilt but take or want to take that hand so bad almost as if asking, "is it ok to move on? is it ok to forgive myself?" and even if that guilt or issue was caused by someone else and they are the reason for your pain, you still can't help but blame yourself. this shit got way more deep and personal than i meant to lmao but moving on from that therapy seasion, this is amazing i love everything abt this webtoon. 100/10 ART STYLE IS ALSO TO DIE FOR

The One Within the Villainess

Ongoing | makiburo,shiraume nazuna | 2019 released

this shit is absoulte gold and omg checks every box of my interests. i really reminds me of 2 dif mangas where one is a mc princess who saves the ‘villainess’ and falls in love with her but this one is better and its the ‘villainess’ who basically falls in love with the isekai girl who takes over her body and just wants to live a good life that the villainess never had. they have such a beautiful and cute bond even tho they’re never met each other. and after a another isekai bitch comes and steals everything she built and did for herself she loses her reasoning and gets switched with the original villainess and she wants to take revenge for the only person who ever wished for her happiness and was truly her family and love of her life. i love all the amaing metaphors in the text when teh mc talks abt emi bc she truly did love her and she was her world. she doesn’t even see her own original body as her own but just something she’s borrowing until emi wakes up again. its the most pure and beautiful love. this manga rly does have the villian vibe of the quote “the hero will destroy you to save the world but the villian will destory the world to save you” or whatever it is and she rly is doing that. even tho her revenge is esentially benefiting the world bc its what emi would’ve wanted, she’s still destroying everything that hurt her while working to make her happy. KDDKWOWK IDK I LOVE EVERYTHING ABT THIS MANGA BRO. THE ART IS ALSO GOREGOUS. i love that the mc is alone to for the most part of it bc i honestly hate when mcs just get friends and shit for no reason but she rly did everything herself and said friends are a waste and would just make things take longer and i love that for her. ART STYLE IS GORGEOUS TOO FORNSOWME I LOVE EVERYTHING ABT THIS

Wet Sand

Ongoing | DOYAK | 2000 released

ok i have a lot to say abt this but idk if imma put it all here. i feel so much emotion from this manhwa its insane. i really do feel the emotions of each character and they all feel so fleshed out and really human. they each have their unique characteristics that make them human and even if u can't relate, you feel their emotions even without talking and only looks and the art. the author did an amazing job with everything and the art is amazing, i rly wanna go support them with whatever platform they're on. now lets talk abt the little stuff. i rly love jo's character with how he is such an innocent bean but also at the same time not. like he's a full grown male who doesn't get involved with gangs or anything and is considered a normal civilian but is also strong physically and mentally. especially when he was talking to ian after the slept together abt his feelings and before they slept together too. like he's a human and mulls over his feelings but also isn't afraid to talk abt them and can clearly tell that to ian and wanting to figure out their relationship together. and also with how he was before they slept together rly resonated with me. specifically the look in his eyes bc i could so clearly see his honest feelings for ian and how he overcame the internal conflict he had abt his feelings. AHHH IDK I LOVE HIM. he's also just so pretty and also a free spirit that doesn't stay in one place bc he likes traveling and photography. like mans knows what he wants and goes after it. NEXT IS IAN. ooo this man is so pretty but i also love his character. the more chapters that go by the more i can understand his character but also don't understand him. idk if that makes sense. more reasons behind his actions make sense but it also add new issues and confusions. this poor boy had such a sad past and had no one else to rely on and had to go into such a shady business to survive. i think that's the biggest difference between ian and tj. ian wouldn't be in a gang if he didn't have to be but tj would, bc that's just what he's good at and meant to do. seeing how he came into the gang when he was younger i can rly understand his intentions of why he wanted to leave and all his trauma leading up to it. this wasn't something chose but something he did at the time to survive. he truly did love tj but hates the fact that tj is essentially tied to the gang. which is why i think even if he loves tj, he'll leave. you can see how truly messed up the gang made him and how he couldn't even feel emotions when someone died. i think he knew that a part of himself became too messed up and bc he knew that wasn't normal he couldn't take it anymore. i think in that aspect, jo and ian are really good for each other. so far idk how good ian is for jo but jo is good for ian. it's almost the stupid saving trope but not necessarily. bc ian was never able to live a normal life, he's starting to experience those random but normal things with jo. like night gazing dates, getting drinks, etc. but he doesn't want to stay with him bc of many reasons but he truly thinks he's an awful person for all the things he's done in his life and can't even imagine that pure ian would have to be associated with him. and in a way i think that's ian's way of saving jo, bc he clearly has feelings of attraction and longing for him, but doesn't think he or jo deserves to be with the other. anyway its hard to explain all my thought processes but i truly think that he just needs and hug and someone to tell him that he isn't a bad person, he just did what he needed to do to survive. NOW ON TO TJ. well i have very much mixed emotions towards him. in the beginning i was really confused bc nothing was explained abt his relationship with ian but as more things unfold it's sadly following what i expected to be the case with them/the trope i thought it'd be. i rly don't think he's a bad person but i think he's probably extremely possessive and can't imagine that the person he loves and that's been with him for like 19 or whatever years would leave him. and i think that's whats gonna make him go off the rails and make him into the 'villain' of this story. though i do hope that that's not whats gonna happen. i rly do see how much he loves ian bc of all his actions and how well he treats him but he also knows that even tho he loves him, if he were to leave him, he'll do everything in his power to make him stay. i think this is his downfall bc even he knows how much harm he's causing ian bc he won't let him leave his side. in the hospital scene it's so sad to see the fact that ian knew it was tj's fault and he set him up but didn't let him speak abt it bc he didn't want to truly believe that the person before him may be his family/love/bestfriend but also the person that hurts him the most. tj could see that ian was so happy riding bikes and that that passion would take him away from him, so he purposefully injured ian in a way that looked like an accident so he'll stay by him. idk what else to say but that this manhwa is so sad and painful for me to read but also so beautiful and raw. i want to keep reading but idk if i will bc it's hard lmao. im a wuss. OH ALSO the scene where jo is explaining abt orion and athena or whatever god and how he got killed bc the other god was jealous, im so scared that it's foreshadowing whats going to happen in the story. no bc I KNOW its foreshadowing and it would honestly fit the story so well and be a perfect info loop but i DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM HURT AHHHHH. anyway bye
