ariailisha's manga / #Absolute Faves(86)

210625 OMG BROO i've been obsessed with Yuukura Aki's "Karasugaoka" manga for so many years and only just discovered this manga bc of the different spellings of her name meant this wouldn't show up under "Other manga by the same author(s)" HELPP. mangago gatekept this from me for too long (6.5) OH MY GOD STOP I LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH this is genuinely right up my alley !!!! sooo adorable, so funny, such an entertaining and light hearted read! it actually had me laughing my ass off and "aww"-ing every two seconds they are so cute and hilarious. I LOVE THEIR DYNAMICS AND CHEMISTRY AHH. president x delinquent trope my BELOVED my god this is exactly what i needed rn. i wish there was a volume 2!! i really adore these two man they match so well with each other. it's so funny bc at first i was turned off by the whole demon seal thing bc it's so cliche but it was really well executed like idk the author made me love it hahah. also omg i love the cousin character he was so funny!! the cat eyes help I JUST READ IN THE COMMENTS THAT THERE'S A VOLUME TWO HELL YESS OMG

230625 (6.5) OH MY GOD I MIGHT CRY THAT WAS SO GODDAMN GOOD THIS DESERVES A HIGHER RATING WTF 8.8 DOES NOT DO THIS MASTERPIECE JUSTICE!! genuinely so well written and holy fuck that ending made me soo happy. i love these two characters they are so well fleshed out and it is especially impressive considering there are only 6 chapters !! also i knew i recognised this art style omg it's so distinctive. same author as 'Yoiyoi Monologue,' god the way they draw bodies is just SO beautiful. also my god do i love their character designs THEY LOOK SO GOODDD. i'm actually obsessed with this story the progression of it was just so well thought out and it's like i can feel exactly what the characters are experiencing i swear. i'm so sad to part with it !! only an one hour long journey but so much conveyed in so little time, i can't stop thinking about how good this was. OH MY GOD I ALMOST FORGOT TO ADD but the little mermaid reference !!! it hit EXTRA hard because i had just studied an extract of it the other day for my illustration assignment and reinterpreted the scene. the author referenced to the perfect fairy tale for this story. not only bc of the idea that "monsters and humans live in different worlds" but also bc hans christian anderson was most likely a closeted homosexual. he wrote a love letter to a male friend who got engaged around the same time he wrote the fairy tale god this was beautiful. i'm genuinely astonished at how good this was. i had no clue that i was gonna experience a whole masterpiece when i first clicked 'start reading' MANNN 8.8 does not do this justice. everything about this was so well crafted: characters, plot and art. god i love akemi and oka so much, the progression of their relationship throughout the story was just so phenomenally depicted. sugura was also just the perfect side character for this story. i love how he distinctively feels like his own character too, as in not JUST serving as a wingman but having his own individual identity.

280625 (30) SHUT UPPP I MIGHT CRY THAT WAS SOOO FUCKING GOOD this is WILDLY underrated holy fuck. the plot is so insanely well fleshed out and especially for such a short manhwa. it's got such an original storyline and MAN THE CHARACTERS!!! these two are so perfect for each other. it's crazy how well this author wrote their dynamic and the development of their relationship in the midst of such a chaotic and action packed plot. everything worked together so fucking well. like their relationship felt SO NATURAL and so beautiful. watching them fall in love with each other, fight for each other and live for each other really hit so hard my lord this reminded me how much i love enemies to lovers trope. THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE FR !! like they are so fucking cute tgt by the end despite starting off on opposing sides. 8.9 for this absolute masterpiece is actually diabolical. GIVE THIS MANHWA THE 9.4 IT DESERVES. and an official english translation PLEASEE IM BEGGING honestly i only have one criticism, which was that i really hated what the tornado kid did. that was genuinely so evil and despicable, it broke my heart. but yeah WOW other than that this manhwa was fucking phenomenal. i almost forgot to mention but AHH the art !!! i knew it was so familiar but couldn't put a finger on it until i saw someone mention it. this artist drew the sushi restaurant owner and mermaid manhwa OMG. man the art in this was so fucking good and i'm in LOVE with the character designs. gahh i'm so obsessed with these two i cannot wait to read the side story! 2906 (35.5) NAMDONG WAS NEW TO WEBTOONS AND BL??? AND THEN CREATED THIS ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE?! oh my god this was genuinely so good and FUCKK those side stories were adorable!! i'm so obsessed i'm already thinking of rereading

111124 dude holy shit i was looking at a declaration of revenge and saw this ahhh im so excited wtf!!! i love this author so much their art is so good sdlkfdj i was legit referencing their art yesterday. HOLY FUCK i just had a peek at ch1 and bro the cover art is so fuckign good omg those character designs !! 070725 (12) DUDEEE NONONOOOO I NEED MORE THIS IS SOOO FUCKING GOOD. bad pharmacy please marry me holy shit the writing, the art, the characters, EVERYTHING IS SO PEAK OH MY GOD. it's insane how interesting, complex and unique these characters are. what started off as a lighthearted plot really developed so fuckign well into a more psychological genre oh my god i'm so invested. i love how the characters are so flawed yet redeemable and so perfectly HUMAN it's so good. i cannot wait for more. LMFAO i saw someone say "I don't know whether to call the mc an asshole or a diva" that is legit how i felt help. his personality is so fucked up yet so interesting. i love how this story addresses alcoholism, workplace abuse of power, violence, stalking, etc, etc. it's really written so well.

260725 (6) IM SO EMOTIONAL I'M CRYING THAT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD genuinely SO beautiful. holy crap. this was amazingly well written, well thought out, with such amazing character development and i'm just so captivated by these character's individual traits as well as their dynamics with each other oh my god. this was SO tragic but with such a beautiful and heartwarming ending, my lord this was so good.

08/11/22 4:13pm (33) - all the lying was giving me anxiety ahhh now that the cat's out of the bag i hope they will be cutesy and shit again T^T 040825 (74) CRYING THIS WAS SOOOO GOODDD. i had this on 'now reading' at 33 chapters for soo long but i finally read the full thing!! i loved this so fucking much omg. taejun is so goddamn fine and these two are SO perfect together oifefwklf. sooo adorable i really enjoyed reading this. such a good balance of angst, plot, smut and fluff! i lwk feel kind of robbed that we didn't get the actual proposal scene tho like ;-; i wanted to see that so bad. i wish there was more of them gahh. i love bean so much too such an adorable dog i swear. i did quite enjoy the side couple too!! i was pretty iffy about their dynamics tbh but i loved them as individual characters from the start, and i did warm up to them as a couple after reading their side story. anyway this was just such a lovely story with lovely characters and im so sad that it's over ahh
