Manhwa title: Work, Fight and Love
Manga artist: Yoo Ha Jin
Manhwa cover:




Review:

I picked this up because it's been a long time since I read something from Yoo Ha Jin and I was missing the beautiful artwork.

This story didn't let me down, it made me wanna stick with it due to the nice development of the main's story characters. It's spiced with a various palette of emotions, some to the extreme I'd say, but nonetheless ut has a good plot.

Soohan is working in the advertising market and is having an affair with his boss, 10 years older then him. This part has not surprised me as I think it's part of Yoo Ha's writing style, but this time it was a beautiful relationship. Handsome guys and they shared their love. But of course there has to be a twist, and here we are introduced to Taeyeol, who's not at all into guys and who will play the main character as well, having a bright spot alongside Soohan. The plot tries having some thrilling action, but the main focus is on Soohan recovering from his heartbreak and falling for Taeyeol (and viceversa).
This part of the manhwa was really good and i devoured it entirely, but as an overall, I still believe something is missing and I can't pinpoint what.
Still, I recommend it, especially if you're a Yoo Haa fan.

Review:
Imagine having a second chance to went back and able to rewrite your life for the better. When you know what will happen, will you still walk the same path or changes for the better?
The uke, Han Nokyoung is a actor who treated everyone poorly with his bad attitude, got his karma and descended from his pinnacle of his career by having a video of him sleeping with LK entertainment CEO Kang Junil leaked online, and soon becomes the victim of an acid attack. After being betrayed and abandoned by his boss and the man he loves, he took his own life. But when he woke up he found himself 3 years in the past.
This Korea BL manhwa is completed with 60 chapters, extras are still pending. Han Nokyoung is really prettily drawn and is happy ending. The seme, Kang Junil is't toxic nor a red flag like common Korea manhwa. There is never a third party involved that comes between the main couple. The personality and attitude change for Han Nokyoung might be a bit sudden, but I do enjoy this story. It is interesting to see how they overcome all of the obstacles and manage to stay with each other and come together. It is nice of a short read, but not for those who are more logical and dont believe one would change 180 degree very fast for the better might not be able to read this.

Manhwa title: Opposites Attract
Manhwa author&artist: Oryu
Manhwa cover:


Review:

Are you un the mood for a college story, with a quite unique main character? Well, this is it.
Opposite Attract mainly took me be surprise because of its characters and in particular, Dojae, the main character who is like no other character I've read so far.

But let me start with a small glimpse of the plot. Euntak is always the type of guy that falls easily in love, but he's really got his type: small and pretty. Thus this time, he's completely taken by surprise when he's immediately attracted to a big, muscular guy like Dojae. From the day he meets Dojae on a basketball game on campus, he tries making excuses to be around to him, including finding out Dojae's schedule and getting in one class with him.
Unfortunately for Euntak, he's the type of guy who's emotions show easily and he can be read like a book, even more funny, he's not even aware of this, until one night that Dojae actually takes him by surprise and proposes sleeping together. "You like me."

From this point on, things start changing, and the both of them decide to get out for 3 dates..or at least Euntak thinks that there's a change...

I wouldn't really like to make a spoiler, but for me Dojae is a special type of character that I haven't met so far and I find the whole concept of the manhwa interesting due to him. The artwork is beautiful and worth your time.

Review:

This is an omegaverse manhwa, and one that is deliciously sexy and funny at the same time. The cherry on the top is the beautiful artwork and the fact that it is completed!

So, let's meet the stars of the story...
Wooyoung is a super wealthy young guy, that grew up in a comfortable environment, with the best education, protected by his family and pretending to be a beta his whole life...until one day that he begins experiencing hormonal imbalances, turning out thay he's not only an omega, but a recessive omega, who actually needs a strong alpha to balance him.

And so he starts hunting for the perfect target, and sets his sight on Kyungju, who's not only an alpha, but a dominant one. In the beginning Wooyoung just tries to get his hormonal rampage on track, but soon he realizes he wants more...

The funny part is, that regardless of how tiny and innocent Wooyoung looks, he's got a huge personality, which will make the readers laugh and cry with him. Not to mention that their love story is really steamy and just so adorable!

Manga Review of the Month March/April 2024

Review #01

Manhwa title: Smyrna and Capri
Manhwa author: Brothers without a tomorrow
Manhwa artist: Brothers without a tomorrow
Manhwa cover



Review:

I fell completely lucky by stumbling over this gem that fully mesmerised and captivated me from the first chapter, with the amazing artwork and plot.

This is an omegaverse manhwa, set in a historical time, exactly my favorite type, with delicious smut scenes, fantasy, Dragons and the purest love.

As the title says, it's about a Smyrna aka Theo Peserus, who's s an alpha and chosen to give birth to a child. For this he becomes for a short while an Omega(Smyrna) by ingesting a specific plant in order to carry out the clan's heir. But in order to do that he actually has to choose a Capri, an alpha to impregnate him. Yeah, this part was a bit too much, but everything is OK as long as it ends well.
Speram Marita is Theo's captive, he is part of the Langeres clad, dragon blood, and a revolutionary captain, but having escaped his chains, he tries to leave the castle when he feels Theo's pheromones... what happens next can be easily guessed, he becomes the Capri of Theo and so their love story begins.

I really recommend this manhwa, it has a lot of steam, beautiful artwork and some fighting scenes. But more importantly is completed! So have fun reading.

Manga title: Fox-Colored Jealousy
Manga artist: SUEHIRO Machi
Manga author: SUEHIRO Machi

Manga cover:


Review:

Akiha, the main protagonist has a secret to hide or more like, a possesion to get rid of... Ever since he was small he knew the fact that he'll be next to be possessed by the fox spirit, this happened in their family for generations. And unfortunately, due to the fox spirit he gets in a lot of troubles and weird situations, since he barely remembers what happens when possessed. So when he starts college into Tokyo, he goes to live with some distant relatives, but on the train, something unexpected happens... he gets groped from behind by someone, but thankfully he's saved by a nice guy.
As soon as they get off and Akiha thanks the guy, his fox makes an appearance with pop up ears and hugs the guy. This lasts only one a moment, but enough to get embarrassed and run as fast as possible.
After all, what are the chances of meeting him again?
It's not like he'll meet the nice guy, who's name is Yukuri, leave with his family and kiss him on the first night no?

This is such a sweet story, that it deserves to be in the spotlight. And moreover, it has a spin off with a wolf, which shouldn't be missed as well.

Manga title: Secret Therapy

Review:
Something relatively short, incredibly hot, causing multiple nose bleeding, seasoned with enough romance and humor, this is Secret Therapy!

A school life story about a rich, popular guy who can't accept being second in anything and with a serious case of an erection problem - Yoon Jaesong... and a humble, yet hard working (with multiple jobs) guy, and on top of that, the guy who snatched 1st place from Jaesong, who's also a streamer for the infamous gay steaming site, “Cake,” - Lee Hyun!

You can probably guess what happens next, yes, Jaesong does mange to get it up after watching a live stream of Lee Hyun, but he has no idea that the guy whom he can't stand has the answers what he wants... and when he gets it, oh boy... things get steamy!

I fully recommend this piece.. you will love it, the artwork is really beautiful and the story good!
