Chicken Heart Serenade
one is traumatized, broken, and unable to fully accept himself because of his family. the other one is frail and lonely. but when they are together we have serious and a goofball. a cruel world we live in that makes us feel the need to lie to ourselves. love is love but it has invisible rules that we can’t escape from. the realization that he would never be able to properly hold a woman bright him to tears. what hurt was that he cried because he realized that holding a man was nothing he thought he would experience and he was able to truly face his sexuality. parents would rather never speak to us again than learn to love us for who we are and I think that itself is a much greater sin than us loving the same gender. I think the author created a beautiful story that brings light to the dark side we face. the rejection. the abuse. the painful words. the loss of one's true self. I enjoy how this was represented.
To Take An Enemy's Heart
it finally happened, chapter 34 marks the beginning of a new story. at least I hope... why are there so many chapters left i’m getting anxiety. I dropped this and now I’ve been binging it for the past 6 hours. it’s nearly 5 am. so much has happened and this is probably the best enemies to lovers manga I’ll ever read. I finished and I loved it. the author created a beautiful story. the way they are completely infatuated with each other, how they looked at each other, and their passion and devotion just made me so happy to read. The miscommunication and the lack of trust hurt me so much to read but in the end, it was worth watching their development. I enjoyed the story so much and I can’t wait to read it again one day. My favorite part is most likely their matching scars. I’m happy the king and that one guy worked out. also, the couple that has the child that looks like our mc im happy they found an unexpected love.

Intense(Lee Kyung Ha)
this was just as the name says. it was intense. I had moments where I read fast because I was scared to feel only pain. the angst and anticipation kept my heart racing. I didn’t know if their ending would be good or bad. their pasts are both tragic and painful, what they went through is devastating but they can’t let their past hold them back and instead need to move forward. they found happiness within each other. the manga was well written and although tragic I think the ending was fitting. to only feel pain and be scared of pleasure since it’s unknown is a terrifying thing and I’m happy the mc was able to learn pleasure is happiness and shouldn’t be scary. I enjoyed this and I’m happy I came across it.

haha their differences. if I was the uke I couldn’t do it, always begging and having to make assumptions but he knew what he was getting into. I more of the seme, I don’t share emotions I can’t deal with all the lovey do very stuffy but if I love you you will know. it was good and I enjoyed the story, I think it was funny and in the end it all worked out.
Our Companionship
I think it was good it wasn’t perfect of course. it started well and then there was an unexpected bumpy road. I enjoyed their story. I didn’t like how the best friend was controlling and manipulative and that was never talked about. i do like how the mc had many realizations but if i were him I would’ve let it all out but he was right for choosing to keep their friendship since his best friend didn’t know. but I think he knew and knowingly took advantage of the cute mc. their friendship is kinda dark and I think there was way more baggage to be discussed. the story was great until the author had the almost rape scene, it was unnecessary and lead to a forced confession. i hate how authors think rape is the only way a seme can express his built of emotions. also, I like that they gave him a POV since we could see more of his thoughts and story but I didn’t like how long it was, i found it distracting from the build-up. i know they aren’t perfect and over time I imagine that they would be more open about their lives. the art was great and I loved the semes body, as long as they are happy and healthy I have no big complaints. also I enjoy how there are sexy scenes but I would’ve preferred it be fully shounen ai, the clouds were too much for me.
