katlovesfries's manga / #quick read(55)

This story was okay, but nothing more than that. I didn't find it particularly interesting, but the age gap between the characters is done in a nice way that doesn't depicts one of them as a creep. I didn't like the art very much either, but that is just personal preference. It did ruin the reading experience a little, though.

I have many mixed feelings about this. The plot and the pacing started out perfectly, and the story has a sense of slow burn that I grew to like quickly. While the characters and the overall progression of the story was done well, the acts of sexual assault was not expected or appreciated---that unfortunately ruined the remainder of the story for me. To end this on a good note, I will say that Lee Won is the coolest character of them all.

Very enjoyable and quick. Lovely dynamic between the characters with surprisingly a lot of progression and development, all happening in the span of eight chapters. I really wanted this to be longer in order to see how their relationships will continue to evolve. Would recommend.

A story about overcoming personal fears and letting go of toxic people that don't want the best for you. I was sceptical at first, but the progression of the story and plot got me hooked. It was very interesting too see how the MC develops and tries to deal with some of his issues, while also having the right support system to help him. Very happy that I read until the end.

This is a story full of well-known tropes that take up the entirety of the plot. It has good potential, but the plot wasn't interesting to me because of how cliche it was. It did have some cute moments in there, but I wanted to see more development overall. The whole thing ended up feeling boring towards the end.

A very cute story about young love. It has a small element of misunderstanding, but it was done surprisingly well. I loved how we see the relationships develop, and I wanted it to be longer. Really cute.

A waste of my time. The premise seemed interesting, but nothing happens whatsoever. It ended so abruptly that I don't want to believe its actually finished. The art is pretty, but that's all I can say.

This is such an impactful story. For those people, including myself, who struggle/struggled to accept themselves and their sexuality, this is for you. This may be a one shot, but it tugs at your heartstrings in a beautiful and painful way. It does contain homophobia and slurs, so please proceed with caution if that triggers you.

A quick read with minimal dialogue. The art is beautiful and depicts the emotions and feelings of the characters nicely. There's something so sensual about this story that makes it really good.

Relatively quick read that focuses on unrequited love (but not really). Two people meet again after falling out/going no-contact, and the readers get to see how they navigate their feelings--both good and bad. In the end, they manage to actually communicate and get their happy ending. A lot of alcohol was involved.
