• like a tidal wave APR

why was it legit funny and the art so good. and the dynamics were p nuanced considering the cringe abo genre too....only thing was the acab bc one guy was a cop but you know i'll take it

• my x report MAY

was sooo entertaining and enjoyable, the art also got so much better over time and it became seriously nice to look at near the mid/end. the protag is like aoki w his bad luck but also earnestness, and the side cast/other lead were so likable too. there were so many moments where i was dying laughing/wanted to screenshot a funny moment at like 5 am, only gross thing is that they portray minjin, a minor, as an actual love option to seorim, 25, which doesnt make sense at all

• all abt lust FEB

bad dragon jasmine rec, the art is so unique and the dynamics are so nuanced and entertaining. the cast is also p funny and the setting is really intriguing without being too overbearing. charas are super adult and feel legit like ppl/not reduced to cringe tropes

• red candy JUL

was not paying attention to the plot at all, and the couple lowkey doesnt rlly have chemistry bc they just have emo conversations and fuck, like barely any banter, but the art is good and they look like yjh and kdj haha... the plot is also p convoluted but not terrible and isn't too tropey to the point where i can see what's going to happen. but i also wasn't rlly paying attention to the plot lol

• undercover partners [first story] AUG

first story abt kangha and hyuho was SOOOO ENJOYABLE many times where my chest ached bc it was so endearing and romantic... the art is lowkey weird bc its so anime w huge eyes and pointy chins, but the story was good enough that i persevered. starts out sus bc kyuho kidnaps kangha to launder money for him but they develop like... a believable relationship and kyuho doesnt make kangha do anything with him without consent, which is so pog [the bar is in hell]. also kyuho anti-nepotism king LOL and there were legit funny moments... PLUS SIDE LESBIANS? ok the lesbians were barely there and had a small side story near the end but it was like... a legit story w legit reasoning and thru the whole thing the characters acted reasonably, which was so pog. girl it was GOOD. also the age gap of 5 years was fine, like the first time i've ever felt that way lol. there was no like.... gross power dynamic bc of the age gap and they had the same maturity/intelligence, so there was no grossness at all.

• semantic error AUG

art is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GORGEOUS so many pts where i stopped just to stare at the art. BUT ALSO THE STORY?? at first i felt really bad abt reading it bc its so clear that sangwoo is autistic and jaeyoung tormenting him is like bro... sangwoo rlly did nothing wrong by telling the prof u didnt do any work on the group proj...even tho later on jaeyoung is like yeah that was my bad, and that he wasnt even messing w sangwoo bc of the group proj, it was bc he was pissed abt not being remembered? anyway weird..... that part of the story is shaky but im ok w it bc i think the main goal was to have sangwoo realize how much better his life is w social connections, its just the author wasnt that gr8 at it. but OMGGGG the author is GREAT at comedy and timing, and the comedic panels are so good. again, so many times i stared and was like WOWWWW!! and sangwoo n jaeyoung chemistry is so charming... TT makes my heart flutter even tho its shounen ai. SO GOOD
