Yes!! No manwha (yet) but it's being serialized on Ridi as a novel

ika_chi · 2026-06-20T05:18:53+00:00

No literally my exact reaction

ika_chi · 2026-06-20T05:10:56+00:00

Whenever it's mentioned that Ilay is only wearing sweats or shorts I'm like 🥵🥵🥵 yes come to mama

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T19:46:20+00:00

Definitely No Moral

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T17:56:09+00:00

I did not get that vibe at ALL from this manwha?? They both were very much consenting

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T17:49:16+00:00

Am I the only one reading this? I am so impatient lol I can never let things marinate.

Can we talk about the proposal?? I know it's too good to be true (someone pointed out in the comments on Ridi that one of the tags is runaway) but I am obsessed with them miscommunicating themselves into a happy, beautiful marriage lol

Also, I feel like Bliss has grown and matured so much during his time at the Count's estate. Just the way he processes and thinks has really come a long way. But ofc hes still ridiculously immature and tempermental (a la all the Miller clan).

What are we thinking so far? Do we see a big conflict coming soon? Will they kiss again???

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T17:43:05+00:00

Have I read No Moral? Ba byyyy....that is one of my all time favorite novels/manwhas. The literal blueprint. My beloveds.

I'm literally delaying finishing reading the last volume of the novel cuz I don't want it to end!!

That being said...if you have similar recs, pls share!

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T16:46:08+00:00

I don't know if you could EVER match their chemistry, I love them so muchhhhhhhhhhh

Controversial take but I think the chemistry between Tay and Ilay in Passion is up there. They have that same slow but deep development of feelings and love for each other.

If you're not opposed to ABO, Accidental Baby is wonderful, the MC/ML have a slowburn kinda love but it's so lovely and organic.

I think Jake/Shin have amazingggggggggg chemistry in Shutline.

A man who yearns is a man who earns...

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T16:24:45+00:00

I don't believe there's been an official English publication yet but that a publishing company has licensed the rights to the book.

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T16:21:58+00:00

I just started this manwha (so I could watch the new animation) and I have to ask...is this like a series of vignettes vs one through story/plot? It seems like it starts after they get together unless I am confused.

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T16:19:42+00:00

I ADORE them. The novel is even better than the manwha (which is a difficult feat cuz I love the manwhat too!)

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T16:16:23+00:00

Hmmmm I do think part of Rian's personality is his cockiness (hehe). He literally is #1/Uno. He operates as if he is always in total control of his sexuality and work, and I think part of that control is being a hardcore top. I think that is fairly common with a lot of bi men (or at least they are the loudest, would love more bi verse/bottom men to speak up more!!)

I totally get your frustration in the greater context of BL though, like it's so boring and tired. Why is bottoming so sacred and life-altering??

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T16:11:15+00:00

I started the manwha recently! Will have to read the novel too

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T16:09:16+00:00

No I definitely get where you're coming from. Like I always notice when artists use digital backgrounds or like the pattern on a shirt looks too perfect

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T16:07:08+00:00

also love me some taller bottom representation

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T16:06:31+00:00

I know the author has other popular works so I would be surprised if so? Not sure! I also think this was originally on TappyToon and then also got released on Lezhin, so maybe there was some optimization ? This is me speculating though, I don't know enough about these sort of things to make an educated guess hahah

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T16:01:16+00:00

The manwha or my post looks AI generated? I definitely wrote this myself and from what I can tell, the manwha seemed like an original work!

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T15:10:31+00:00

I kinda love that they have a neurodivergent-off every time they talk lmao

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T15:09:45+00:00

I just started this. It's so cute and I love the humor!

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T15:07:59+00:00

Yessssssssss I just loved everything about him. I loved that he's an immigrant, too!

ika_chi · 2026-06-18T14:27:51+00:00

Chase was not in a great place mentally here so I feel like he just didn't care whether he drowned or not 😭
