Name: Make Me Bark / 개같이 살자
Genre: Yaoi, comedy, drama
Basic Plot:
Sungjoon worked himself so hard by working many parttime jobs in order to get himself a small one bedroom flat. Everything was going well for him until his flat ended up burning down. Now homeless and facing sleeping on a park bench in the freezing cold, he contacts the only people he knew living in his city: Lee Hyoin.
Luckily for Sungjoon, Hyoin is looking for a roommate…or a pet?
My thoughts:
I was a bit weary going into this one. Just from the title “make me bark” I thought oh god this is going to be some real kinky petplay stuff which, no lie, isn’t really my thing.
HOWEVER
It was so much more than that! Don’t get me wrong there was pet play and s&m but it wasn’t the whole storyline which i appreciated. If you’re into that then maybe this manga isn’t for you 😉
We start off with poor Sungjoon losing everything and desperately calling Hyoin to ask if he can stay with him since he’s the only person he knows in the whole city. Things are going well for the two, but still awkward. One day Sungjoon comes back tired and asks to sleep in Hyoin’s bed while he is out. Sungjoon finds a collar belonging to Hyoin’s old puppy Ruby, whom he loved more than anything.
Hyoin is looking to get the same feeling of unconditional love he got from Ruby. Luckily for him, Sungjoon is more than willing to play puppy~
The story then follows the two of them falling in love with each other, Sungjoon and Hyoin navigating each other’s feelings and overcoming misunderstandings.
We also get a linked story with Bin and Yeonsoo which is a really fresh story and could be it’s only stand alone manga!
In general I really enjoyed this story, the misunderstandings didn’t anger me (as some usually do!!) and the two (four!) had a happy ending…it’s a really lovely story!
35 Chapters and complete 🙂
