A fun and quick read with great art! College age boy has an overnight job at a convenience store in a very bad neighborhood where mobsters frequent. They cause a lot of trouble until Gunwoo, tall and hot boi starts to come in frequently and take care if troublemakers and take an interest in Yeo. The art is full color, it's pretty spicy and not very sensored. And so cure! And I'm thinking we'll talk feelings soon!!

This one is sad. The start of it is a very happy couple dying and them restarting from before they knew each other. The girl remembers everything bit he does not. She comes on... very strong and he doesn't know what to do with her. So but the end of this volume she is trying to win back his affection. But so far very sweet and the art is amazing. I will continue this.

Very fun mystery manhua, with super powers that the duo uses to enter into photographs and help clients dive into their pasts and find our secrets there. This first volume covers 3 jobs that the boys investigate. This is super fun Manhua that. I will be continuing and watching the manga for.

This is a super cute star/ galaxy themed romance manga. The characters are all named and themed on stars and there is an court system for them. The main characters are a king and a knight. The knight had loved thr king from a far since childhood and trained to be his knight. So when the king stars showing interest in him everything falls into place. This has A Taste of Gold and Iron vibes and is so sweet and a fast read with some court politics vibes.

This is very meh. This seemed so promising at first with a cute yakuza boy and a fun plot with an arranged marriage to make a gang alliance. But then it just isn't that, or it is, or it will be, I honestly don't know
he just is actually a monster maybe but also isnt but is into her.
warning that he says just horrible stuff to her. And ugh

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
This book is just to sad for me at the moment. It's beautifully written and such a gorgeous concept but I just couldn't get myself to pick it back up because of how sad it was.

This book is fine. It is a lighthearted romance with a pretty predictable plot. The pirate is fun. He has dark male tendencies, yet he's sweet and kind to the female lead. The plot centers on a love triangle that lasts till the last seconds of the book. I wasn't crazy about how the end tied but it left plenty for the series. Anyway this book is a perfectly fine romance romp with pirates and some fantasy vibes.

Ouran is so goddamn funny and cute. It's like a warm hug. The anime and the manga are very faithful to each other so reading it didn't feel contrary to the anime that I love. And going back to these characters is such a comfort read.

This is erotica with the thinnest veiled plot but so so fun! Also the elf sex teacher is so funny. Also were getting far enough in that the political background plot is coming in to play. All around a fav manga. Also so horny. And the main couple is the CUTEST.

This book is so good. This is the type of romance that just speaks to me. The boys are both high up in the society in military and there is so much going on in the politics! Also arranged marriage! One has had eyes for the other his whole life the other has had other things going on. 

Fu Shen has been crippled recently and is working on recovery and Yan is so gentle and amazing for his recovery help. There relationship is slow but GORGEOUS. Also they have a bickering, kinda bratty dynamic which is so funny with how tough and intense they both are with work. 

This book is perfect. Complicated plot but perfect. - they do not sleep together in the first book-
