I Like You

Complete | Momopia | 2000 released

this one has me IN. LITERAL. TEARS. i was rolling on the floor from all the secondhand embarrassment, i kid you not. this one i’ll DEFINITELY reread. i genuinely loved it! as well as its characters and their respective personalities.

Nano Machine

Ongoing | Han-joong-wueol-ya,Guem-gang-bul-gae , unbreakable [redice studio] | 2020 released

maaaan, i’ve been reading some exceptional comics lately. as expected, nano machine didn't disappoint! i’m really looking forward to see what’s in store for this one in particular. i’m honestly stoked! binged this in one single sitting. it was most definitely worth it. :) edit: i’m trying soooo hard not to scream at loud at this point. this is INSANELY good. sighhh… yet another week shall have to pass. ;_; edit #2: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GO edit #3: i think it might be worth mentioning that i’ve now read this manhwa THRICE… by chapter 104. it’s absolutely spectacular.

IMPOSSIBLE NG

Ongoing | Go seon-young,고선영 | 2019 released

so, so funny. i love the originality of this!!! and the overall ‘dynamics’ between our two mains, if you will. they’re such a great match! even though they don’t seem to realize that themselves just yet, lol. super excited to see where this goes! #intrigued - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - …i genuinely can’t believe i haven’t been leaving any more comments or making any updates WHAT.SO.EVER. since this ^ one right there. i’m so ashamed, knowing how invested i’ve been these last couple of months… as well as disappointed in myself. (normally, i would’ve made sure to do so—especially for a story this compelling and enthralling.) i mean, soooo, so much has been going on since i first started reading…!!! i haven’t been doing this manhwa justice, i can tell you that much. but i’ll try my best to make this review at least semi-worth it! this manhwa is so much more than just ‘funny with some interesting dynamics’ or whatever. there’s been so much complexity, character development and emotional depth, slowly building up—ESPECIALLY during these last 30-ish chapters or so. just next level ethereal writing, honestly. words can’t seem to express just how much i feel for these characters, i swear to all that is holy. not only that, but the art is so crazy beautiful as well!!! (once again, especially during the latter half of the story once things started to get heavy and the expressiveness of the art got to truly come alive.) honestly, i’m kinda floored—having read the final chapter just now, ten minutes ago. this comic had me tearing up and laughing and literally sobbing and full-on screaming into my pillow at three A.M. (for reasons i won’t dive into here), and it’s just… such a bittersweet feeling, knowing that it’s all over now. i’m getting emotional just writing this, lol. ‘no outtakes’ didn’t take me by storm at first, but that was a mistake—or miscalculation, if you will—on my part. it’s a virtual masterpiece, and i implore EVERYONE to read it… because it’s truly worth all the appreciation and attention it receives. i don’t doubt i’ll come back for seconds, either. and next time, i’ll be able to binge the whole thing in one go; not having to depend on weekly updates and such! ahhh, such a blessing. i’m already looking forward to it. <33 in the future, when the timing for rereading is juuust right, i’ll head back over to webtoon and purchase all the chapters so i won’t have to ‘respect’ the daily update-rule, either. it’s not even that much of a big deal (dealing with the daily updates, i mean), but i personally believe it’s a worthy investment. just imagine having the opportunity to binge this, in full, for the very first time!!! ahhh, the thrill. <33 i mean, the artist absolutely deserves it as well—naturally! so, i wish to thank you, dear creator, for your beard work, and for creating this beautiful, heavy, memorable, ENGAGING piece of art. i’m genuinely thankful. P.S. i’ll be looking forward to your new story as well! having read this one, i already know it’s going to be amazing. i can’t wait! (also, i’m missing the ‘bad bitch club’ tag and it really bothers meeee.)

Our Companionship

Complete | ken,ant studio | 2019 released

i’m rereading this… and I’M NOT FUCKING READYYYY, Y’ALL!!! DADDYYYY, I’VE MISSED YOUUUU. <33

Ellin's Solhwa

Complete | Cibeles | 2019 released

<33 bro, this one has me freaking OBSESSED. i loved everything about it. extraordinary art, wonderful characters and a great plot. emotionally speaking, i was really enthralled and i truly sympathized with these guys. (this is a rare feat for me, not gonna lie.) and, naturally, i was always looking forward to new updates each week! it’s quite likely that i’ll reread it one day in the future. :)

Overgeared

Ongoing | park saenal,yoon jun | 2000 released

well, i just started out (i’m on chapter 9) and i’m already super fucking annoyed with MC, lol. too early to quit, though!!! edit: this kid is the walking definition of a selfish, greedy man-child. what a bitch, lmaoaoaoao!! piece of trash, ughhh. i’m PRAYING for some serious character development right about now. me, a nihilist, is praying!!! anyway. he must be one of the least likable MCs i’ve come across this far. i mean, he’s definitely not all bad (i would’ve stopped reading if he was; he’s just immature), but every single time i think he’s trying to do something nice for someone else, he’s really just plotting and doing things for his own personal gain. it’s frustrating, but amusing all the same. i reaaaally want to keep going (because the story itself is quite good and entertaining), but maaan, he’s making it difficult at times. his personality’s trash, but that’s okay!! it makes things somewhat more unique for a story like this, i guess…? ;_; edit #2: i feel kinda bad for him. he’s pitiful. i just have to keep reminding myself that this dude is just like everyone else. i’m guessing many of the reasons as to why i dislike in is because i see pieces of myself in him. (and i actually detest myself, lol.) it’s alright! this realization has made things feel a lot more realistic and endurable. he’s just a person with flaws—just like everyone else. i respect that. stay strong, kid! nobody’s perfect. you can do it. :) edit #3: I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM!!!! that’s the kind of development i’m talking about, yes!!! super excited for more updates. this just keeps getting better and better!

My Dear Cold-Blooded King

Ongoing | lifelight | 2000 released

the first comic i ever read and it’s still one of my favorites to this very day. ryusaki hayate OWNS me. (head over and read it on webtoon and read it there instead—it’s available for free and in doing so, you also supports the author!)

Father, I don't Want this Marriage

Ongoing | Hong hee su | 2019 released

LMFAOAOOOO, THEY NEED TO STOP THIS NONSENSE ALREADY AND JUST COMMUNICATE!!!!! this shit is too funny, i can’t— edit: still wheezing like a dying whale at three in the morning about a dozen or so chapters later. genius

Kill the Lights

Complete | Mink, Jangryang | 2000 released

woooow. this is way better than i expected! honestly, i don’t really know what i was expecting, but i know this wasn’t it, lol. either way, i’m stoked! i’m enjoying every single aspect of this thus far. i can’t wait for noah to find out the truth; it’s going to be epic. also, all this non-sexual sexual tension is KILLING me!!! my god, just fuck already. edit: *currently dying in HORNY!!!* i read the novel, so i already know what’s up… ughhh, it makes the manhwa-experience ten times better. the tension and anticipation is killingggg meeeee… edit #2: it’s over and i don’t know what to do with myself AHHHH. they’ve grown so much. <33 can’t believe is as this, but i love them together, lol. that epilogue was beautiful. (i’m getting emotional now, fuck.) a day will come when i’ll write a more extensive review (i’m guessing i’ll be rereading this again at some point as well), and i’m quite looking forward to that. i’ll give this store justice. no matter how initially toxic and unhealthy their relationship was, they’ve both changed and grown since the beginning, and i’m surprisingly optimistic about their future. also, i hold so much appreciation for the fact that they actually went public with their relationship so quickly…!!! and with, like, zero hesitation at that, haha. it’s so rare to see that in comics featuring modern-day korea—ESPECIALLY with celebrities. i love it, and i’m so happy for them.
