Lex's manga / #BL(580)

Roommates Mao and Hisashi have three rules: 1. Mao must never reveal Hisashi's secret 2. Hisashi won't look at Mao as a romantic interest 3. Neither of them can get in the way of the other's "personal needs" ---------- The arstyle was quite enjoyable and I liked the chemistry between the two main characters, the way their relationship was handled felt refreshing. A really cute and heartwarming story.

NOPE.

Eunho, the little neighbor boy that always asked Jaeha to marry him is all grown up now. Jaeha never gave little Eunho a second thought until one day, years later, Eunho suddenly reinserts himself into Jaeha’s life. Will Eunho forever be the little neighbor boy to Jaeha? Or will Jaeha finally see Eunho for the man he’s now become? ---------- The plot's a really interesting one, the Art's pretty and the characters are all interesting to follow. I can't stop to say just how refreshing it is whenever I read a story where the third man of the story isn't unnecessarily made into an *sshole. Hanjun's character is a very interesting and loyal one. I really appreciated how upfront and earnest he was in this story. He obviously had feelings for Jaeha for a very long time, yet he respected his boundaries, as well as his feelings for Eunho. We seriously need more secondary characters like him in stories. Jaeha's character is also a very fascinating one. His personality's a very complex one, and seeing his growth as it is being influenced by Eunho was truly intriguing. Eunho's character's also a pretty intriguing one. And I really like his personality shifts, and how he can go from seeming simple-minded, to being really serious and intense. Also, lots of consensual action in this one. Can't get enough of that. Give me more of those healthy and well-developed relationships. I am, though, very disappointed that the end was cut-short. I was looking forward to seeing the build-up from the moment when they got back together, to breaking the news to Eunho's family, especially since I felt like it'd be very moving and positive... And... The wedding! The whole story was based on that. How am I supposed to feel like this was complete with only a few snippets here and there?

Minjae accidentally witnesses a younger guy, Hyeongjo, jerking over the sleeping Assistant Professor Jinhan. From that day on, Minjae continues to suffer both mentally and physically from Hyeongjo. How will the relationship turn out between two guys who clearly hate each other and yet, who are also drawn towards each other for some reason that they don’t know? ----------- Damn... Ya'll ever heard of this thing called a therapist? This story would've worked perfectly fine without anyone raping anyone and being so unnecessarily edgy. I just don't get how any of this was viewed as necessity to the plot. It could have worked perfectly fine, and would have been so much better without anyone forcing themselves onto anyone... It had so much potential, an initial interest between the Minjae & Hyeongjo's characters, potential good chemistry. It could have made for a really enjoyable read. But nope! Ya just had to go and made this into some unnecessary rapey shit, didn't ya? The only times rape is "justifiable" in a story is if you want to work on traumas/psychology/thriller oriented stories. Just stop doing this seriously... And again, Hyeongjo, Kiseon, my dudes... Why you be so edgy? Take a chill pill and go to therapy will ya? Why do so many BL try to sell such behavior as "love". this isn't love. It's obsession. Mixed with psychological issues that need to be addressed.

Characters are bland and boring, story was really bad and superficial. It felt like I was reading someone's 3am thesis. The artstyle was literally all it had going for it.

Contract killer's ex boyfriend left him in debt. ------------ Story was okay. Characters are okay. Overall okayness. Didn't like it. Didn't hate it. Won't read again.

Surprisingly, this was a nice read.

Too short! This had potential.

The ending ruined it for me.
