Personal Faves [wlw manhwa edition]

[Long Post]

1. Fluttering Feelings by Ssamba

This was the very first “shoujo ai” manhwa that I ever read so I probably love it more than I should. Before you even get into this you should know that the slow burn in this manhwa is absolutely Horrendous and that basically the entire universe is against the main couple getting together. If you’re willing to overlook this flaw(????) FF is a super charming little manhwa with some really sweet and downright heart-wrenching moments. Unfortunately it will remain incomplete as the author passed away earlier this year, but I would still highly recommend it if you haven’t read it already. 

2. Serenade by Keum Kyesoo

All you need to know about this manhwa is that I finished it in one sitting (deadass from midnight to like 5 in the morning,, it is That Good) and that I spent like twenty minutes on two panels because I was crying so hard that I couldn’t read. Also, it’s about pro piano players,, like,,, big sexy. Beautiful art. Intriguing plot line. Insanely awesome side characters. And a crazy ass bitch that just won’t quit. What more can you ask for? [NSFW]

3. Moonlight Garden by Kang Unnie

This is the fantasy(??)/historical manhwa I didn’t know that I needed until I read it. First of all,,, thE FUCKING WORLD BUILDING oh my godDDdD. Fucking amazing. The art is beautiful and the concept is So So Unique and Complex I can’t even begin to do it justice by simply summarising it. All I can say is to read it (although at first you might need to wrap your head around the plot line,,, it might take a little getting used to). MG is one of the only manhwas where I can confidently say that I fully support and love the main character (also idk if this is worth anything but this is the second manhwa that has made me cry after Serenade lmao) [NSFW]

4. Miss Angel and Miss Devil by MAEU Malgeum 

This is the cutest shit that has ever blessed my life. It focuses on two main pairings and they’re both cute as fuck. It’s split into structured arcs that are dedicated to one of the two couples which makes it easier to get a feel of each character and the dynamics of each pairing. There’s some angst and one-sided pining (especially with the pair on the right) but mostly it’s just heart-warming and a really nice read. [a couple chapters are NSFW] 

5. What Does The Fox Say by Team Gaji 

Yes, yes. We all knew this was coming. The staple of wlw manhwa... Okay but first of all, I’ve got to say that I don’t really care for the main couple in WDTFS. What puts this manhwa in my favourites is the character of Seju (pink) and her relationship with Sumin (black). Every single scene/chapter that includes an interaction between these two just Exudes pure chemistry. I don’t think the authors intended for Seju to be so appealing but It Happened. Baek Seju had so much potential as a character that I’m disappointed that she was somewhat stuck on the sidelines. She wasn’t your traditional ‘easy-to-hate’ character but she also was never given the opportunity to fully develop which left her in this strange grey zone between main character and irrelevant side character (that’s as objective as I can be about Seju, I love that bitch). Personal opinions about Seju aside, WDTFS is an extremely well-made and polished manhwa with beautiful colouring and fairly nice art. A majority of this manhwa is focusing on developing the main couple’s relationship so the plot line is somewhat vague and makes a semi-regular appearance throughout WDTFS. [NSFW] 

6. It Would Be Great If You Didn’t Exist by Carbonara 

A sweet little manhwa that’s bound to make you smile while simultaneously causing you to melt because,, gOD these two... There’s nothing dark or serious about this manhwa which is what I love about it. It’s cute and simple and cuts to the point. The way that the couple originally gets together is kind of abrupt and strangely out of place but once you get into their relationship you kinda just forget about it because they’re literally just a great couple LMAO a;slkdjf;alkd.

How can you…

Sumin, how can you forget

…that sound

… those lies

… that obsession

… that thrill

… that sufferance

… that pathos

… that beauty

… that fear

… that pain

… those smiles

Sumin, how can you get over all this?

Please tell me how could you replace all those memories for a brand new lover. I can understand how easy it is, but how much less deep…
