clown's manga / #BL(67)

this shit stressed me out but i loved it, i like how it incorporated the sex scenes into the overall plot. they didn't feel out of place which is refreshing

i was on crack when i reviewed this, kimin is so possessive for no reason and doesn't care about kyuyeon's input at all unless it's what he wanted in the first place. idk it's just weird and kyuyeon has like no backbone

entertaining read though i kind of wished for more at points. the dialogue between the characters felt natural and funny like high schoolers, 'cause yk, they are high schoolers lmfao

so happy everyone got their happy ending, even the lesbian background couple i love it

i feel like this was one big fever dream and i can never remember the whole story but it has some good ass art

aaaa i love this one, i really like how there was a lot of focus on the story and they didn't drown it out with too much smut. felt natural which is great

rereading this, the beginning is SOOO FUCKIGN CRAZY. what do you mean you tell the cam boy you've been jacking off to every night that u recognize him? dg is insane. literally textbook definition of parasocial the way he gets so happy getting picked out of a crowd and spends money just to donate and get noticed and then is disappointed when "alex" isn't thrilled to be recognized irl. HOW ELSE DID U THINK IT WAS GONNA GO? crazy. he's lucky jiwon somehow got the hots for him or else that would've been supremely embarrassing, having to go throughout college life with a sunbae that you jack it to every night. compared to jinx, jiwon's treatment of dg is like child's play. only 1 rape scene occurs when jiwon thinks md approached dg to be on his show. completely inexcusable but he's an asshole at this point so it's unfortunately not that surprising. at least most of his actions have reasons behind them (that make SENSE) so the redemption + chase arc isn't out of left field. overall i think the way their relationship progressed felt relatively natural so i was able to actually enjoy the happy ending.

this is a very good read imo. i like the way the story is broken up into phases: trying to reconcile with unrequited feelings, struggling with past traumas and seemingly broken relationships, and growing and overcoming hardships with another. there is sa in cirrus's backstory but i'm very pleased to see that it was handled quite well. nothing unnecessary was shown, only enough to imply what had happened, and we focus on the mental scars it left cirrus with. i think the development and pacing was rather good as well. my only complaint is that i wish there was a bit more clarification on cirrus's side, specifically his family dynamics. i understand that his father grew to dislike him after cirrus's mother died and then tried to fill the void with other women, neglecting his child in the process and causing the deterioration of their relationship. i know cirrus wants to bridge that gap between them and yearns to repair that relationship even if it ultimately fails in the end. i'm not unhappy that they remain distant. i just wish that was explored more and that cirrus made more of an effort to talk to him, but i completely understand why everything led to them giving up on each other. overall good read but wished there was a tiny bit more.
