lilithespark's manga / #Re-encounter(66)

Such a poignant read. Realistic for the time this was set in. The roaring ‘20s.. The Great Depression… The story just evokes so many emotions with the diverse character backgrounds and the atmospheric art. Extremely romantic like Lin Che kept saving Eliot over and over. AND THE LETTER– It’s tragic, but they’re happy at the end at least.

I don’t usually read yakuza stuff, but this is really good. As much as there is smut, there is some plot to go along with it. Gang politics, the mystery behind Ryu Jean’s death, the leads’ past together— It makes for a thrilling read. The side characters aren’t flat either. I like how they pretty much have their own personalities. On top of that, the size difference is pretty refreshing. If you’re into that, one of the better reads out there.

this was alright. not very romantic in the typical sense, but it was still an interesting read. i liked the mini detective episodes. ngl the story just fell a bit flat for me. their dynamic was boring… the ending was okay, though. they were cute ig. some of the parts WERE ridiculous like wdym that matusda almost got raped by his ex erm

I love this!! This simply ticks all my boxes. I love their communication and, again, how natural their relationship is. The worries about telling other people that one of the leads has a boyfriend is very much real… This sequel gave everything the prequel didn’t. It gave us a new outlook on their relationship as lovers. Still a very fluffy and (might I steal the words of another commenter) comforting read!

ahhh this is really good. sometimes you need old men BL. it doesn’t have that spark of puppy love but it still manages to be romantic in its own unique right. i love how this is mature, and you get to see their domesticity ^^ there doesn’t have to be any clear labels; you can just see they mean a lot to each other. the side characters are realistic and aren’t used as one dimensional pawns for the sake of the plot. the leads’ dynamic is so delightful. the mc is relatable and kind of a tsundere while the ml is deadpan yet doting and considerate

Yeah, this is just a no. You can’t try justifying this… The huge age gap… the fact the ml calls the mc “dad” for 90% of the story. the pseudo incest— what’s with the supposed happy ending… the mc gives birth to his almost-son’s child??? i feel bad for the kid, man. the exhibitionism, too… barf. why make this. just why.

this was weirdly intriguing. the pacing was a little off, but i liked the vibes of this. the story had this strange, mature feeling to it. idk why but it reminded me of chainsaw man lol. especially the denji-looking ahh protagonist… anyway, the art was gorgeous, but the characters ultimately fell flat. what was the point of the cam girl storyline? this needed more development, which is a same because there definitely was potential

This was cute! You know, they almost let each other slip away in their dumb youth. But Chitose takes the chance to reconnect with each other despite all misgivings…. Found that pretty relatable. Anyway, wholesome manga! They’re such awkward idiots, but I love them for that.

So darn good, and I haven’t read much of it yet. The art is literally to die for, and the chemistry the leads have with each other… Insane. Plus, the MC (Eunsung, also the top) isn’t a freaking rapist and actually has decent character. ML Taegun) seems cool, too, and I like this push and pull dynamic. Both of them are intricate, complex characters with their own trauma. I love it! Well balanced plot with steamy moments

It’s kind of ironic how the pop star ML WANTS to be exposed but paparazzo MC just won’t do it lol. anyway, the characters are dynamic, especially the ML. almost feels like a coming of age story when the ml realizes he still wants to be an idol. like there’s an actual character arc?! yes pls. it’s cute, fluffy, smutty— actually really good read. i like how they’ve known each other ever since high school. def makes the tone lighter ^^
