Add2Cart's manga / #slice of life(11)

That was really cute, but if you’re reading this after you’ve read Love is an Illusion, you’ll be left waiting for something to happen. Some comments mention rape, but well into the story, the past, including that night, is revealed. I laughed at all of the sex scenes because for the most part, all of the d***s have faces and sometimes hands/arms.

Aw! So adorable! It was a little boring at first, because they got together quickly and easily. However, conflicts and twists and turns arise after they get together. Such a cute couple, plus the cat, and taking care of the little brothers made them exponentially cute! You’ll smile until your cheeks hurt. Nice, fun, light read.

I’m messed up after just 6 chapters. At first I thought this was the cutest way I’ve ever seen a couple meet up. Then my heart was completely stomped on. Then it had a moment to recover. I felt moderately happy again, content. And then back to sad, stable for a moment, and then sad. I know the intent is for the ending to be happy, but I still found it really, painful and sad. I think not enough time was spent on showing them together and happy, although it was implied.

Hyunwoo and Subin had beef friends for years. While drunk Subin confesses that he has feeling for Hyunwoo. Hyunwoo is shocked and disgusted. He enlists for the military and doesn’t see or call Subin for 2 years. Feeling depressed, Subin goes out with an older guy, who we find out much later, is named Jun. Subin goes home drunk that night, alone. He’s abruptly woken up the following morning by his friend who announces the arrival of Hyunwoo who’s back from the military. Subin and Hyunwoo are roommates so they’re forced to be uncomfortably stuck together. Subin meets with Jun when he’s feeling down and needs affection. Subin thinks Jun is just using him for sex, because he doesn’t think an older successful guy would actually have feelings for him. With Subin gone, Hyunwoo realizes his feeling for Subin, but Subin has already forced himself to forget Hyunwoo and move on. The plot is very simple, but the way the characters interact with each other is very interesting, and there are some incredibly funny moments too. When Subin is with his friends, you wonder if they’re actually friends. And Subin’s noona is blunt, painfully honest, and has her own dramas too. I really didn’t know how it was all going to end, all the way up to the last page. This was excellent!

As kids, Haebom was Taesung’s only friend. They were really close as kods, but they’re suddenly forced to live together, as brothers, after the death of Haebom’s parents. Haebom over hears Taesung telling his mom that he doesn’t want to be brothers with Haebom. Hearing this, Haebom tries his best to behave and stay out of Tarsung’s way. This goes on for year and they eventually grow apart. In the last year of high school, for the first time they are in the same class. They act like they don’t know each other until Taesung notices that Haebom is constant sly getting bullies at school. Taesung starts to keep close to Haebom and protect him. This causes them to become close again, and they realize the distance between them the last 12 years was due to a misunderstanding. They realize their feelings for each other, but Haebom doesn’t want to disappoint his adoptive mother, who is Taesung’s biological mother. Taesung’s mother adores Haebom, considers him her son, and knows it’s good for the entire family to have him around. The story is adorable and follows them through college, and then as adults working in an office. The genre goes from shonen air to yaoi at this point. It took a few chapters for my brain to adjust to the naughty things, this once wholesome couple, was doing. Adorable couple, and their mom is fabulous too!

A junior in college overhears an underclassman getting dumped over the phone. They see each other in school and become friends. The events and feelings portrayed in the story are so relatable. The stress of dating, the “push pull”, and wishing you knew what the other person was thinking. Such a sweet couple, with moments that really tugged at your heart.

Shiwoo finds Jun unconscious outside his apartment. Jun’s clothes look strange, and he looks injured. Shiwoo takes him in and cleans him up. Once awake, Jun mistakes Shiwoo for his deceased lover. Jun can’t speak Korean and Shiwoo realizes that Jun is from somewhere else, or even from another time. Jun is affectionate toward Shiwoo, and while Shiwoo starts to have feelings for Jun, he tries not to get swept away, because he thinks he’s just a replacement for Jun’s lost lover. There is a gentle calmness about this manhwa. A lot of emotions were felt. Heart tugging and heart warming. Very sweet :)

Omegaverse. Childhood friends driven apart by a misunderstanding, are reunited again 5 years later. Typical omegaverse story. However, because the omega manifested late, his body is big and muscular like an alpha. I really couldn’t give a s*** about the second couple, but it felt like more than half the story was about them.

Two childhood friends slowly develop feelings for each other, although, at different paces. One doesn’t like being touched, due to being sexually abused as a child, by a teacher. As they grow older, the art style improves, and they turn into gorgeous men. The supporting characters are also funny and interesting. The story was sweet, but had it’s fair share of drama. Contained s** scenes, without showing any junk, if you know what I mean…

High school student can see guardian gods and spirits.
