Limited Run

Complete | Eeej | 2019 released

i tried to like this. I really did, but it’s hard when the leads are stupid and the fact that irrational decisions/misunderstandings are what move the plot. How am I supposed to like their melodrama of a love story when I don’t like either of them? why did the author have to make the MC such a pushover with his “unrequited” love crap? the ML is a jerk for more than half the span of the manhwa. The ML is supposedly 32, but he acts half his age. Plus, writing is so ass like why tf was the first rape scene just glossed over. In chapter 58, the ML rapes the MC after he was SAed (he didn’t know, but that doesn’t excuse it one bit). the art has to be the only redeeming quality of this manhwa. this genuinely sucks ass. i don’t understand the hype at all

Master, Please Leave a Mark

Complete | Yetaku, Yeatakoo | 2023 released

I always feel conflicted when I read Human x Android stories. But I’ve just learned not to question it too much lol. Reminds me of that one dude who married Hatsune Miku. Anyway, relatively good so far. A bit fast paced. Lots of smut

How to Get My Husband on My Side

Ongoing | nyangiwa hyangshinlo , kitty and spices,siru | 2019 released

the drama in this story gives me high blood pressure, but it’s addicting. the mc’s trauma, eating disorder, and domestic abuse is well depicted and handled. The art is gorgeous, but the plot is so fracking slow… Still, I want more!! like girl spends 102 chapters in this facade which is understandable given her trauma but frustrating as a reader. i love the romance! i love how it’s expressed in not just grand gestures but even the more mundane actions like washing each other’s hair…. this is a super good story with a complex plot! the characters are fairly dynamic, and it allows one to really feel their emotions.

The Beast Tamed by the Villainess

Ongoing | Seol-yeong (설영/雪影) | 2019 released

It’s interesting! It’s been a long time since I’ve read a couple with as twisted and dark of a relationship as this one. Are they toxic? Are they healthy? Does the ML (Magnus) love the MC (Ilyna)? Does he want revenge? I love the complex plot full of dichotomies. I like how all sides of their relationships are displayed. The MC and ML are multifaceted with no clear “villain.” The angst and the toxicity is so addicting…

Kaichou, Ii Ko wa Mou Owari

Ongoing | Kurihara kana | 2022 released

This is like the plot of sm other BLs I’ve read, but I eat it up every time! It’s cliché, but cute. Classic miscommunication trope. The art is pretty good. Decent and pleasant read. Sometimes, there has to be stories like these. Especially with CONSENT and a healthy relationship. One thing this story did particularly was the leads’ transition from students to working adults. Pretty relatable but also adding that sense of realism 9

I'm Not Your Hero or Anything

Complete | UI Kashi | 2000 released

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

You Dirty, Sweaty Boy

Ongoing | Mumumu momo | 2019 released

Simple but cute. Lots of sweat fetish lol. The ML is def a freak… The ending was surprisingly wholesome. The characters aren’t that developed, but I think this is just meant to be a light read, obviously centering around a sweat fetish.

Turning a Crazy Dog Into a Young Master

Ongoing | Zusiha,Yepbee | 2024 released

This is really good. A major part of that is the ART. It’s so fricking scrumptious. They make Ceres look so handsome im done. Anyway, I like how the MC is a priestess, who didn’t transmigrate, reincarnate, or do anything like that. I like her complex character! She’s mature but also has her vulnerable moments.The ML’s past is interesting as well. I like their casual and close dynamic with each other and how the ML is so clingy hehe

Not My Blood

Complete | Presso | 2022 released

Okay, this is actually super good! I adore the plain (?) and semi-realistic art style. I loveee the lighting and everything. Their dynamic feels so uncontrived and natural! No drawn out misunderstandings. For one, they communicate healthily and ASK each other what they’re wondering *sobs*. The world building is pretty interesting even thought the story itself is kind of short. The leads are refreshingly honest with each other, and I love how one can tell they care about each other in the best ways. The smut wasn’t overdone. I totally thought the blond guy would be the second ML because he’s so hot, but nope lol. He can be mine it’s okk. The side couple was toxic af and SPOILER: i’m glad pinky cut the jerk vampire off. i didn’t like how it hinted at smth romantic tho like bro is a pos.

You ordered a naughty honor student?

Ongoing | Kanata souma | 2022 released

Bro what was that ending… This is a really cute manga, but all the buildup felt a little wasted. I was waiting for a heart wrenching confession lol. Aside from that, this is just your typical story. You have the playboy MC’s (top) side story. The ML almost gets raped, and the MC saves him yada yada. This is just a really bland and boring read. The premise itself isn’t bad, but the execution isn’t anything special. 6
