It's Just a Dream...Right? Volume 1 K-Comic Review

Dec 23, 12:00 korean

This is a book you pick up when you're just looking for some mindless BL smut. ― If the premise of White Eared's It's Just a Dream…Right? sounds like a thinly veiled excuse for the main characters to have sex, that's probably a feeling you should go with. While many a work of either romance or erotic fiction has operated on an even thinner pretext, this one certainly doesn't bury its purpose very dee...
