katlovesfries's manga / #inner conflicts(55)

I loved everything about this manwha---their first kiss, the plot, the angst, the tension, the realisation of feelings, the side pairings, the ending. Everything was great. I love the fact that these characters grew up together and that the readers get an in sight to their respective upbringing. The conflict between them was resolved perfectly, and their dynamic is honestly so entertaining.

A story about broken people acting on the haunting memories of the past and wanting revenge on the people they were wronged by. This is a masterpiece, and so utterly complex that one needs to pay attention to detail. I'm honestly awed by this manwha and would recommend to anyone who is looking for something twisted, dark and mysterious, while also wanting a happy ending.

A story of obsession, manipulation and isolation. I was sitting in the edge of my seat while reading this whole thing. I was constantly trying to figure out what would happen next, and was surprised over and over. It really showcases how far some people will go for the people they love, even if it’s unrequited. It’s twisted, complicated and dark. It has a happy ending, and I really liked how things were handled. The ending seemed rushed, and I wanted so much more, but I’m still very happy.

A story of toxicity, doubt and complicated relationships that explore the consequences of one's own actions as well as of the outcome of such. It depicts the realisations of feelings, longing and yearning very well, but also a very unhealthy relationship where both parties never know what to expect of the other. It felt quite slow to read and the ending of the main story seemed rushed to me.

This is an attention-grabbing story with interesting plots and characters. The art style is, perhaps, one of the most beautiful ones I've seen. I'm very excited to see where the story is headed, and how each respective character grows.

This is such an interesting perspective to egoism, and how that plays into sports. I especially enjoy the strategic and analytical thinking that goes into soccer, and how that is done in an entertaining way. The entire Bluelock system is both brutal and educational for the characters. They get to know their true skill level, while also checking out their competition.

I loved this very much. The characters' dynamic is so lovely throughout the story. Dowon's devotion to help Beom, while continuously showing his love and determination, is absolutely to die for. Both of them have detailed backstories that tie very well into the people have become. I love how Beom has a support system even though he's convinced that he needs to handle this on his own. At the same time, I love it when Dowon didn't pressure Beom into a relationship or into admitting his feelings.

This was a rollercoaster. There are so many feelings and conflicts happening in this story, but also so much development and growth. I was sceptical at first, mainly because one of the main characters is homophobic, and while it does get better, it does take a while. This is a slowburn, guys.

I don't usually read about love triangles, but this story manages to do it well. The progression of the plot was fine and interesting enough, but there are instances in the story that I don't like---Param's first time at the club, Hwi's friend being obnoxious and how Param treated Hwi. It was average but certainly not a bad experience when reading about love triangles. Could have been worse.

I really liked the plotline of the story, and it really emphasises "don't judge a book by its cover". The story has an element of suspense that I enjoyed, especially when the readers has no idea of knowing when or how Ha-Woon would get his memories back. I do think it ending was rushed, but also that the brother needed jail time.
