nini's manga / #★★★★★(116)

✰ 4.5/5 (aloy + mikado ) + childhood friends to lovers who are in a secret relationship! heir x accountant? was kind of confused abt their jobs? but ig it's set in a fantasy one :)) + the longing in their eyes everytime they're away from each other PLEASE + the tragic yuri their moms had to go through NOOOOO glad their children got to fulfill the love they had for one another :(( + i wanted to rate this a full five stars, however, i got a bit confused by the plot idk maybe that's just my reading comprehension lmao! i'll read it again in the future + the art style is so pretty! always obsessed with this author's art they also have good stories~ the setting of this was so refreshing hehe i also am a big fan of secret relationships so this was a feast!

✰ 4.5/5 (se-eun + jeongwoo ) + childhood friends to lovers! mutual pining too it's also set in the province side + MC is a bl artist who drew himself along with his long time crush as the MCs of his bl manga the ML is a delivery man in their province! + this is a short one, but i think it had a satisfying end :)) they already had a past and all which explains the pacing ^^ + the side characters are so funny, especially in the side stories !!! i liked the idols universe HAHA lowkey rooting for gyusik for some reason idk why lol he's so goofy + the art style was cute! overall, they had a healthy relationship (though they had several misunderstandings in the beginning, they ended up learning to communicate)

✰ 4.5/5 (nanmu + pilgyun ) + to put it simply, it's all about daddy issues ?? JK !!!! a mafia/gang member x his ex-stepson who fell in love with him since he was still young so he devices a plan to find him & make him his. + well,,, it was a very fun ride, i suppose? tbh, i actually liked this story a lot. i was hesitant, at first, since the ML kept calling MC "dad" but i just got used to it because he never stopped even after they officially got together. + i like the psychological aspect of it! all of them are morally gray characters. they've dirtied their hands, went through tons of abuse, however, they still wanted to live a normal life at the end. and, all of us deserves a second chance! so i'm glad they eventually got there :)) still a weird set-up, but ML genuinely loves MC, and MC grew to love ML + i thought i was gonna hate the MC's gang brothers, but i guess all the hate & anger should be directed to their "father." they've been through so much together :(( i'm happy they finally (i hope) found peace after everything went down! + the art is always amazing !!! BWOT-nim's art keep improving in every manhwa ^^ i hope they recover soon since they're currently sick :<

✰ 4.5/5 (skylar + cirrus ) + classmates to enemies? to lovers :)) blackmailing trope but it didn't last for long interest turned into obsession? very psychological hehe + let me just say, this was a whole ass ride! all the characters had issues? HAHAHA like, they're all imperfect and had depth in them which made it quite realistic + both of them are twisted, okay. they both had their fair share of trauma & abuse which explains why they were the way they are~ + i love how they had their own unique way of showing affection toward each other. i like how each season focused on each of their background which gave more context to their behavior + i was so happy for them since after everything, they eventually got their own happy ending i'm glad that they found home & healed by being together. + i must admit, i wasn't satisfied with how cirrus' family issues were handled... idk why but i just feel like it's so unfair for him. but ig i'm glad that he finally (somewhat) got freedom :)) i wish we got more side stories though i wanted to see more of their happy era! + the art is so pretty !!! it really captures the whole vibe of the story i like the conclusion/closure between the friends & ig the character development among the characters was also quite evident ^0^

✰ 4.5/5 (kamakura + arai ) + strangers to lovers, neighbors edition! ex-employee with a trauma (ends up depressed & holed up in his room) x new neighbor who helps him get over it :)) + pretty fast paced. healthy relationship, no miscommunication & pure fluff with a hint of an angsty past for MC + the bathroom incident thingy is so cliche pls can refrain from putting scenes like those where they always end up "helping each other out" + i think i didn't feel much of their connection because it all happened so fast... but they ended up being all cute together ^^ + the art style is cute! it also would've been better with more extras of them officially together

✰ 4.5/5 (dennis + evan ) + enemies to fubus to lovers !! one-sided turned mutual pining idk what to call this trope... + the gist is that MC liked ML ever since, yet ML always changes gfs. MC always gets the attention of ML's gfs which pissed him off. but that feeling suddenly turned into a crush? + it was a but fast paced and just filled with smut scenes, however, i still liked it because they had a pretty healthy relationship and they ended up having a wholesome relationship ^^ + i wish we had more side stories though !!! we were just starting to see their domestic side they also had good communication :)) + the art is pretty too !! i like short stories like this—less conflicts, good communication, and mostly fluff!
