blueberry's manga / #Trauma(258)

Interesting dark one-shots, ratings range 3-4. Skipped a few, but they all seem good

Yeah uh, for the first story, there was no flow to the plot or characterization. Honestly made no sense even as shock factors cuz...they made no sense lmaoo Second story was great tho, that was 4-stars-ish

A MASTERPIECE IN PLOT, CHARACTERIZATION, ART, EVERYTHUNG Ngl I did like the first pairing more cuz of their personalities (in prequels), but this pairing hits home the MOST and I empathize with the uke a fk ton. The seme’s SUPER HAWT TOO HAHAHA

AMAZING ACTION, ALL CHARACTERS (except for the super-antagonists sorta, but even they’re empathizable so they’re also well-made characters) ARE SUPER COMPLEX AND RESPECTABLE AND AMAZING, THE PLOT HAS AMAZING PACING, THE BALANCE BETWEEN ACTION & ANGST & BITTERSWEET & WHOLESOME & COMEDY IS IMPECCABLE. Character developments of main cast is super wholesome! The story low key reads like a feel-good story of “super traumatized kid finally gets paid his dues so surrogate family members are now flocking to his side” which causes a bit of jealousy in me HAHA but I 10000% support these chars :) Also I like how they introduced the main-ish girl (Yuna) in a respectable manner. The author didn’t stick a girl into the story, immediately make her love the protag and have her chase his ass. They instead made her have an established good relationship with the sister and build her as a respectable character overall. No signs of romance quite yet, and I love the (more realistic) pacing! No shoehorned romance here, we love to see it. ALSO SUKJOO (I forgot his name) THE BODYGUARD + SECRETARY is so darn humble and modest and smart, I admire to be someone like him. No overblown ego, no misplaced jealousy, very mature and HNG I respect him 100%! Oh yes Yuna is very adorable and likeable too, love that

4.5-5; Pretty nice and unique story! Could’ve expanded the angst + there was more naïvety than usual as assassin & mafioso characters tbh, but overall I liked them!

SO MANY MATURE CONVOS WOOOO LOVE SEEING HEALTHY COMMUNICATIONS SUBVERTING UNNECESSARY DRAMA Seme has attachment issues but uke is very self-respecting and knows when to speak up! Amazing boizzzz the damsel in distress is mostly the seme in this webtoon lmfao
