RoseMary's manga / #Middle Eastern(21)

Manhwa || Androgynous Protagonist || Angst || Based on a Classic || Middle Eastern || Possessive Lover || Story within Story || Tragic Past || Royalty "The human drama that unfolds by day is only the tip of the iceberg...at night, there are yet more stories to be told" I really like historical manga, especially the ones based on classics, so this one was really good for me. With the twist of Scheherazade being actually a boy, it was even better! One of the best BL manhwa out there!

Adapted from: Tsuki to Yabanjin

Award-Winning Work || Time Travel || Adventure || Drama || Historical || Age Gap || Character Growth || Middle Eastern || Old-style art || Royalty || Strong smart Guy || Strong smart Girl || Wars || Character Deaths Superb story set in ancient Anatolia: a masterpiece! I read stories with similar characteristics, but without a doubt this is the best historical shoujo with time travel! EPIC, GENIAL, BREATHTAKING >> I say, this needs an anime adaptation!! How come there's none yet??

"I thought that if he kissed me, I would bite down hard...but I couldn't do it". ✹✹ Ogasawara Uki's best work! - I think Black Sun was one of the first BL with Stockholm Syndrome I ever read, if I remember correctly, and I loved it! After reading the whole story, I still think it's good. Personally, I prefer Stockholm Syndrome in a historical setting, because I love historical genre and I think it makes things more interesting: like the fact that the story is set during a war; the middle eastern slave-turned-general Jamal and the noble monastic knight Leonard are enemies (also with different religion, ideologies etc.); and Leonard is taken captive as a war prisoner...for me, these elements make the situation more "dangerous" and enticing! Moreover, the art is beautiful and the sex scenes are really hot and sexy! If the story went a bit deeper, I think it'd have been amazing, but still it's quite endearing (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ [May contain spoilers] I loved Jamal and Leonard together. I know that there was rape, humiliation as a start of relationship, but I can't hate Jamal. He may be an outrageous man in the beginning, but IMO he's much better than Lord Francis de la Tour!! Since Leonard loved Francis, he innocently asked if he could sleep by his side for one night only, but the man told him: "God doesn't allow that kind of behavior"- just to end up raping him later! (╬￣皿￣)凸 Jamal never hurt him!! And from the very beginning, he was interested in that beautiful knight who stood before him, so I can see how he wanted to take him as his own....he knew punishment would await for him, but he wanted Leonard, not just as a mere prisoner!! "I just wanted to steal that man's heart and body". I myself was totally captivated by Jamal: if I were Leonard, I couldn't resist that man!! Oh my, in ch 4 p. 12 when he grabbed Leonard like that and said: "Leonard, I'm falling for you more and more" - I was already going crazy! I loved the development in Leonard's feelings for Jamal and, as they became closer, I liked them together more and more! ═══The only thing that kinda ruined it for me is when Jamal did it with that annoying Nicholas, and when he kissed Isaac in front of Leonard: they already broke up but even so they seemed too much close!═══ Anyway, Black Sun is really good and hot~♡
