tofu's manga / #Decent(243)

O dang japanese hannigram of the non human eater variety are backkkkk and they're still as lovey dovey and healthy as ever. A bit unnecessary sequel imho but you wont hear me complaining, it's a delight to see hashimoto again and i'm still willing to let him smack me across the continent if he wants.

TW: dub-con, self harm, violence Kudos for originality but the story and characters were extremely under explored despite the interesting premise. It came off underwhelming by the time i finished it. One thing i like is that eventhough MCs were in a fuck-or-die situation, they still took the time to establish consent.

Pretty wholesome and im always down for friends to lovers trope but the characters dynamic and plot in this one arent rly my cup of tea

Oh god the art is Phenomenal. Tbh i don't care much about the western people stereotypes and Luis' characterization, but author nailed the atmosphere and paneling in this manga. Story wise i would've given it 2 stars, but the visual is so out of this world that i had to give at least 4.

TW: fwb, drunk Oh?? This is actually pretty wholesome. Despite the premise, everything is consensual between the two characters. I enjoyed their dynamic, though it's pretty surface level. I wish they were given more development / time together before becoming a "proper" couple.

I re-read this all in one go because i forgot the plot lmao. Plot-wise it's interesting and the first few chapters are great, but the execution is a bit lacking i suppose? In the first place, author never explains much about this imaginary country the story is set in, so there are a lot of ambiguities and confusion regarding how things work (the laws, the government, the police, etc). Dynamic between main characters is fun, can be a bit tiring / frustrating bc of Hanhoo's possessiveness and lack of moral though, and i'm floored that he's not in prison because he was basically a mass murderer himself. There are also a LOT of side characters but no development / exploration so they feel like nobodies eventhough they're supposed to be the people Chanseol were closest with. Idk. This manhwa feels unfinished. Maybe it's because of the pacing or the art, but everything feels very surface level and impact-less. The situations the characters are in are often very grave and the main conflict is dark as hell, but i never feel that way while reading it.

Kazuhito is like the most ideal love interest ever. He has all the qualities i want in a partner and he should be the standard of all BL characters. Like seriously from now on anything less is trash to me lmao. The story and writing sadly didn't really match my taste but i'll give it 4 stars because kazuhito fkn rocks.

The writing and panels are a bit of a mess, but the atmosphere is so on point it felt like i was right there on top of the hills with the characters. Would make a good coming-of-age movie.
