- TW// piercings, piercings around the genitals, (somewhat) gore (?)
As is most of harada’s works, piercing hole’s art is fantastic. This particular manga has the most interesting panels that made it feel as though you were looking through a poetry and prose section in a novel. Incredibly stunning and tells a lot within a smaller span of pages
Tropes: possessive lover, “ordinary guy is not so ordinary after all”
- TW// past emotional trauma (vaguely),
I read this on another website, as this was taken down here. Love for sale is incredibly proficient at elaborating on characters and their different personalities. Some panels in this made me ugly cry, and some panels made me laugh my ass off. There’s not much I can say other than to read this on a rainy day.
Tropes: rich seme/ broke uke (kinda), (technically) slow burn, older seme/ younger uke
- TW// (brief mentions of) kidnapping
Define the relationship was so refreshing in the world of ABO. The colours, the art style, and the lyrical and visual descriptions provided about Carlyle and Ash’s feelings made my heart incredibly full. I come back to this work whenever I want to experience the visual manifestation of “love at first glance” (literally). The “plot” was also very good ;) if you catch my drift
Tropes: SLOW slow burn, MISCOMMUNICATION in r
- TW// abuse, violence, homophobia, blackmail, bullying, medication, psychological trauma, abusive parents,
Whenever anyone asks me about my favourite manhwa I always say lost in the clouds. It’s the perfect balance of thrill, psychological horror and other fun stuff. The art throughout Is gorgeous, with some panels in the first season absolutely captivating me. Very poggers
Tropes: obsessive lover, love triangle, mentally unwell main characters (aka cirrus)
- TW// body horror, gore
This is probably my favourite manga series (closely behind blue lock) as of right now. I really enjoy the plot, the characters, and the general tone that the author uses throughout. The art is a whole other spectacle. I can’t wait to get a physical of this when it comes out in English.
Tropes: tragedy, major character death, elements of love craftian type horror
- TW// sexual assault, confinement, major character death
This tag was made specifically inspired by this work. Out of all of sagold’s works this is their most bizarre. I won’t spoil much, because reading through this with limited info gives the best experience. Just know that it takes a turn that gave me emotional whiplash nearly a few days later.
Tropes: (technically spoilers??)
Possessive seme, both ML are whipped, fantasy, sailor moon esq
- TW// graphic depictions of murder, violence
The concept of this might appear bland on paper, but the execution with the writing and the characters are top notch. The sheer contrast between the two main characters are already comical, while their actions only solidify why I love this story so much
Tropes: non conventional roles (like, societal roles), both MCs are whipped,
- TW (so far)// Gore, violence
Although the manhwa is still at its earlier stages, it has quickly become one of the stories I eagerly wait on updates for. The art style is fantastic, with some areas of symbolism and visual references that are similarly in depth to define the relationship.
Tropes: teacher/ student (technically), “Romeo and Juliet” trope (technically)
- TW// abusive relationships
Similarly to love for sale, the angst was so heavy further into it that all the previous fluff in the first chapters were pretty insignificant. I cried so much lol it’s not even funny
Tropes: unrequited love, p a i n
- TW// gore, violence, abuse
This is truly a work of art. I don’t know what is with me and my need to find actually devastating stories to binge read but this had me sobbing into my pillow at like 2 in the morning. The symbolism, the narrative, the connections between relationships, and the main male lead. It’s kinda fucked up for me to be saying this but llewellyn’s love for the MC is so all consuming it’s actually beautiful. Idk. Just read it it’s so g
