pluviophiliac's manga / #awkwardness overload(594)

This was simply wonderful! Where to even start? (I’ll keep it short...) I loved getting to see these characters slowly grow into this beautiful, wholesome couple. (A true slow-burn.) Not only that, but the way they grew as individuals, too... Even the side characters!!! It was executed so nicely. It was truly a joy from start to finish. And the comedic aspects? G O L D E N. I live for clichés. Especially well-written ones. The art was spectacular, too! I’ve got nothing bad to say about it. And, well, to sum things up, I’m so glad I found this one. I’ll definitely be rereading it one day!

This being the very first shounen ai comic I read, I had little to no idea what to expect. Now I think it’s fairly easy for me to admit my obsession with this story, lol. It opened up a whole new world for me! At this point in time, I’ve read “At the End of the Road” three times. In less than three weeks, no less... Seriously. #noregretstho Despite this manhwa having received a couple of negative reviews on here—albeit most of them ARE positive, naturally—I still consider it to be one of my absolute favorites. This has become my go-to read whenever I feel... nostalgic, kind of?? Or whenever I hear a song I’ve previously associated it with, I think about Woojin and Taemin and start smiling like some kind of a crazy motherfucker, lol. Can’t help it. I love these two. Either way, I’m really excited to see what Haribo’s planning regarding (possible) future stories! I’d probably read anything of his at this point. Yuuuup. (edit: i’ve been following ‘mad dog’ since its initial release back in june of 2021, and dude, it’s fucking INCREDIBLE. so fucking great, man… this guy knows what he’s doing. i just adore his work!!! season one was wrapped up nicely back in early february of 2022, so now i’m simply awaiting the release of season two! enthusiastically awaiting, that is. heh. it’s going to be epic, i already know it.) - — - — - — - — - Soooo, I’m just about to read this manhwa again… for the sixth time. Just letting y’all know, lol. #march2022 #stillobsessed #noregrets2.0

god, this is messed up. i still love it, though, lol! i’m reading it for the third time right now and i have absolutely no regrets. surprisingly enough, i love both the storytelling and its pacing. the characters stand out to me… it’s hard to figure them out. (i always do appreciate some emotional complexity, heh.) it’s so good. and the smut is RIDICULOUSLY hot, too… really, i can’t complain! jaxx is a great storyteller in my book. “under the green light” is truly spectacular as well! i’d recommend you all to check that one out if you haven’t already. there’s some beautiful, steamy masterpieces awaiting you. ;)

soooo goddamn lovable. ridiculously funny, too! i was cringing and cracking up like crazy, lol. but most of all, i actually remember tearing up a little at the end the first time i read it. that was one of the reasons as to why i chose to reread it again much later in the first place. i’ll probably do so again at some point in the future, too. i love it!

this is so. damn. GOOD. i really creative and i love looove the overall dynamic here. kani is a queen and her unofficial harem is fucking dope, yo. i hope someone’ll update it soon!!!

i’m only 5 chapters in and i’m already AMAZED. can’t wait to see how and when this story takes off! edit: 10 chapters in and i’m fucking DECEASED already. this shit’s too funny. edit 2# i’m currently 47 chapters in and THIS SHIT IS TOO MUCH, HWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

whew, man!! it’s finished, goddammit. i kinda miss them already. first of all, i loved every minute of it. it was so creative, and so freakin’ funny, too! i nearly sobbed by the time i stared reading this final chapter, lol. FML. and these so called villains, at that…! surprisingly, pretty much ALL of them ended up being among my favorite characters. not gonna lie, i actually cried a little bit when caesar left. that one hit me quite hard, and i don’t really know why. i didn’t expect it at all—especially considering how we started out. in any case, it was such an excellent plot twist! loved that. it’s bittersweet. but truly, there’s just so much wholesomeness all around this neighborhood!!! honestly, i don’t really know what else to say at this point. i really liked the characters, obviously. i enjoyed the plot, too. i appreciated the art style... i mean, what else CAN i say? other than something like: “thank you, dear creators! i love your work. please come back with something equally captivating soon!” maybe that out to do the trick. :)

i haven’t read this in forever, but maaan, i remember thinking that it was soooo good. i have no idea why i stopped… i just forgot about it, i guess. i’ll have to dive back in at some point! it’s truly spectacular.

kwon’s directness is rubbing off on joyoon!!! my god, the sense of pride i’m feeling right now is borderline unnatural, lol. i love this manhwa, fuuuuck. edit: i could legit cry right now. i’m so happy for my babies. they deserve the world and nothing less than that. FML edit #2: i could, once again, cry. (like a lil’ bitch.) i missed them so much. - — - — - — - — - soooo, those were the comments i made as i was reading this story!!! (twice, might i add... i read it twice before it was even complete, oof.) but anyway, i’ll give y’all an ACTUAL review now. lol! - — - — - — - — - honestly, this has been an emotional roller-coaster for me. it’s truly been a jumble of anxiety, insecurities, painful memories, self-discovery and eventually acceptance. there was this sense of… i don’t know, a gradually growing serendipitous happiness, too? i don’t know if that even makes sense, but i’ll say it anyway. despite knowing that every instinct was SCREAMING at our completely broken yoon that he wouldn’t be able to ever find it, life pulled through and found a way to make it possible. so, unsurprisingly, i’ve become quite invested in these guys and their strangely sweet (?) relationship. but overall, i found this manhwa incredibly well-written (from an emotional perspective, that is); even though not a lot of exciting ‘events’ happened throughout everything—which was completely fine with me, by the way! nonetheless, i’ve loved being able to witness their growth firsthand! not just as two realistically flawed individuals, but as a yin-yang kind of union as well. and i honestly think that their relationship has matured into something quite pure, sweet and sincere over time. i can basically feel their affection through the screen at this point, lol. and the same could be said for their suffering! i’m not one to cry easily (at least not from things like this), but this one really managed to pull that off. and more than once, at that! anyway. i’ve enjoyed this one! like i said earlier, it’s more of an emotional story than an eventful, exciting one. perhaps it’s not for everyone, but i’d recommend giving it a chance if you don’t mind all the depression and despair before the actual sweetness comes rushing in, heh. bye!!!

whoaaa, this is seriously creative! it’s unlike anything i’ve ever read before, so that’s a nice and refreshing change of pace. i’m starting to get really excited for this!!!
