After the loss of his fiancée, police officer Kyungjoon resigned himself to a life of watering his house plants and catching two-bit criminals. But after a police investigation into a mysterious cult goes supernatural, he finds himself face-to-face with “Lord Cain,” a demon king in desperate need of mana in order to survive. Good news: Kyungjoon’s body serves as a “door” through which Cain can enter Hell and restore his mana. Bad news: the method of opening that door is… not so safe for work...

4.5 ✨✨ because Gyeong Joon 🥹🦋
Was this sitting on my cr for months when I realized that I had read part way into season (volume?) 2? Ya. Do I remember much from this? No.

What I DO remember was that I was kicking my feet screaming crying clenching my toes and wiping tears from my eyes for the many reasons why people cry.

There are lots of C/TW so please be aware of them before going in.

Cain and Gyeong Joon are just. So. 🥹. They are so protective of each other and get jealous so easily but it’s kind of cute???????

And I really wanted them and Jin yeong to be a thruple SOOOOO BADDDLLLYYYY 😖😖😖😖 but the way Jin yeong is being tossed around like a used tissue hurts me a lot.

I couldn’t care much for Aaron’s backstory sorryyyyyy. I wasn’t invested in his tortured past.

But BEN!? 🫠 we love a general dedicated to their lord 🫡

And. The. Spicy. Sceneesssssssss. When joon started to get comfortable with Cain and PREPPED HIMSELF IN FRONT OF HIM??? AND THEY DID IT IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR? IN THE CAR WHEN THEY REUNITED AFTER SO MANY EPSODES APART!!!!! AND THE LOVE CONFESSSSIOON. SCENEE 😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I still think about that to this day.

Not sure how much longer the second season will be but I don’t know if I can wait patiently for updates.

General Comment: The plot makes me wanna bang my head against the wall, I like the concept but the plot's hella confusing. I don't know if it's because of mistranslation or it's intended to be like that. Though I enjoyed the action scenes and the smut is really well done. Dear Door's kind of entertaining and it's very dark which I really like but it would have been better if the plot and storyline is not rocky and a mess.

I put off reading this for so long, thinking it would be mid. Funny how it always turns out like that, the novels or manhwa I avoid usually end up becoming some of my favorites.

The art style grows on you with every chapter. It’s so unique for a BL, almost like the artist primarily worked on superhero comics and decided to create a BL action-drama instead. The result? An absolute banger of a story.

And the uncensored version has blew my mind more than a few times, if you know what I mean. *wink* The story is so well-written—funny, sexy, engaging, and packed with action. Its also tragic and heartbreaking and just takes you on rollercoaster of emotions. I totally get why this has so many subs on Tapas with high ratings too. ❤️❤️ Highly recommend!

GoodGAWWWWWWWDDDDDD!

A demon who enters the human realm and back to hell through the body of a human, but the only way to do that is by the person 💦 from being pleasured by the demon… I’m into it. Especially when said demon is as HAWT as Cain. This is shock full of sexy men and demons, so I can see the story going on for a while.

So I’m happy to be here for it. Thank yewwwwwwwww!!!

Ačkoli se mi na začátku moc nelíbil styl kreslení, nakonec mě dostal “příběh”. Vtipné, drsné, plno krve, plno xxx, ale udrželo mě to celou dobu.

Hay ciertas personas a quienes los demonios pueden utilizar como "puertas" para entrar y salir del infierno. Cain es un rey del infierno en guerra con Lucifer. Kyungyoong, la "puerta" de Cain, es policía.
Al principio la historia parece bastante seria y de romántica tiene bien poco, capítulo a capítulo va cambiando con capítulos de politiqueo, batalla, romance, comedia y... este cómic se puede encontrar en varias versiones: está la "para todos los públicos" y la "sin censura"... La "sin censura" es... uff... qué calores!

The translation is so over the place that I started getting irritated. Maybe I’ll try reading this again later or maybe we’ll get a physical copy one day with an official translation 🙏🏻

Dear Door. is a mature fantasy comic series following the life of a cop fighting his depression after the death of his fiancée. He becomes tangled up in a demonic cult and makes a questionable deal with Lord Cain, a cheeky, charismatic demon king working on earth to stop a war in hell. As the story goes on we meet more humans, demons and angels who are all caught up in an ancient feud between good and evil. The relationship between the main characters grows from unlikely, wary partners to companions to an impressively warm romance, with most of the side characters finding love/comfort in their own relationships. The series has many mature themes including dubious consent, sexual assault, violence etc, but the official English website has trigger warnings before each chapter to warn of what is to come so it is easy to avoid sensitive content. I really loved the art, all the characters are drawn either very handsome, or very buff, or both, it's great. I look forward to more from the creators.

This story has quickly become a guilty pleasure. It's original and has me saying "what the heck" and "that's so adorable" and "are you kidding me" and "holy f" and sometimes a combination of all the feelings. This was the first yaoi story I started and I quickly fell in love with Kyungjoon and Cain. I was a little hesitant at first because everything could have gone too far/over the top at any moment, but the author kept it tasteful - which I deeply appreciate.

Okay, I'm not totally clear on what "book" I'm on because I read this story on Manta and all I know is what season I'm on. I will say this: this is my favorite story I've read on the app. It isn't done yet but here's what I think this one covers.
A cop/detective and the rest of his precinct are investigating a cult that has popped up and is resulting in horrific murders and suicides. Their only lead is a tattoo all the suicide victims seem to have.
Kyunjoon runs into a cult member and gives chase, winding up being held in a warehouse covered in symbols and set on fire. This is how he meets the Demon, Lord Cain.
From there, Kyunjoon's life is irrevocably tied to Cain's life and is brought smack into the middle of a faction war between Cain and Satan. This war is made more intense by the backstabbing done by one Cain trusts most.
Then the angels get involved. Angels that are invested in the outcome of the war taking place in Hell. Angels that are also separated by interests, creating a multifaceted battle between Heaven and He'll, between Heaven and Heaven, and between Hell and Hell. With humans stuck in the middle being used and sacrificed by both sides.
Kyunjoon just wants Cain. Cain just wants Kyunjoon. Everyone else seems to have an interest in their relationship, be it for better or for worse.

Yeah... The story is a bit complicated. I love it! It does contain dark themes, from blood and possession to sexual assault, rape, and relatively graphic smut. I was hesitant in the beginning to even read this one. Now, I look forward to every Tuesday when I get my update. The story isn't even finished and I've reread it four times to be sure I haven't missed anything or to notice the details I didn't pay attention to but are a huge deal later on. If this was a book, I'd buy it in an instant because it is a story I'm insanely into and I want it to exist for me forever.

Do I recommend this? If you're into BL/mxm and can handle dark themes, I absolutely recommend it. It's probably a niche genre story, but I'm here for it.

Creo que lo disfrute más que nada por lo mucho que me hacía reir y por las escenas de accion, esto serian algunos de sus puntos positivos además de los personajes que me encantaron en la gran mayoria y el estilo de dibujo es muy bueno.

Entre sus puntos positivos esa una lectura rapida y el estilo de dibujo ayuda en esto, sus personajes son interesantes y divertidos me hubiera gustado saber más de ellos pero lo que me mostraron de algunos me gusto y me dejo en gran parte satisfecho sin hacerme pensar que son personajes planos y vacios, algo que pienso en que el estilo de dibujo ayudo mucho en toda la obra porque si esto hubiera sido solo palabras no creo que me hubiera gustado tanto.

En sus puntos negativos seria que a veces la obra es algo confusa en algunas partes y esto puede hacer que te pierdas, esto más que nada es una opinion muy personal pero siento que no supe mucho de los protagonistas principales como sus gustos entre otras cosas o sobre el pasado de ellos (especificamente del protagonista) a diferencia de los personajes secundarios que tuvieron arcos de personajes mucho más marcados y otro punto negativo seria la construccion de mundo ya que esta puede llegar a decaerse un poco o esta se ve decaida por la falta de informacion.

perdón por las faltas de hortografia y dramatica <3

[Review covers main story to completion - 130 chapters on Tapas]. This was an absolutely wild ride, and unfortunately not my cup of tea. So much of the story happens in the gutters that I was regularly confused about what was going on, and why. There's a lot of coercive/NC encounters that felt icky instead of sexy or romantic (as much as that can ever be the case), and the actual relationships between people who were getting it on left, right and centre rarely felt emotionally realistic. People were just suddenly in love and banging like rabbits for no real reason. There's smut, then there's this series. If there's a spectrum between "all smut and no plot" and "all plot and no smut", this is as far to the smut side as you can get and still be considered to have any plot at all.

All that being said, characterisation was a strength. I really enjoyed the emotional depth within individual characters, rather than in their relationships with one another. Sid was a stand-out, as was Jinyoung, but pretty much all of the supporting characters were great and I always enjoyed their subplots.

Overall, if you're a huge fan of demons and angels, and like a chaotic art style and story, this might suit you, even though it didn't suit me.

This keeps popping up in the monster-lover groups but none of my goodreads buddies had read it, so I took one for the team and picked it up 😉 Demon x human action romance I think would be the technical categorization… BL / MM. The art is gorgeous!

However, this has a *lot* of triggers — especially a TON of sexual assault, dub-con that skirts the non-con line, dub-con of the coercion kind, lots of gore, blood, madness/hallucination, war, murder, and ritual human sacrifice… as well as tropes that could be triggering such as forced orgasm & overstimulation, degradation (not from the main pairing, not consensual either), fisting, sex in monster form, size difference, lots of fluids (crying, spit, cum), and probably others that I missed … And these aren’t listed anywhere that I could find, so I’m intentionally leaving this unmarked as spoilers for others to be able to see with less digging.

The story is engrossing but the triggers are copious, it’s not one and done skippable, it’s basically the entire storyline. So read carefully 💙

Dear Door 1 (Chapters 1-64)

OMG! So far this is the best BL I’ve read so far! The story, characters, plot, artwork, and just everything in general was mind blowing, immersive, and so entertaining.

I absolutely love Kyungjoon! I’ve cried with this amazing and lovely human being! I felt his pain and his loneliness, and I just wanted to jump into the manhwa and hug him! The lore behind the doors is so interesting and I can’t stop staring at Cain. Damn, Cain is so freaking gorgeous!

Also, the smutty scenes are intense but so damn good! When Kyungjoon started to feel more comfortable around Cain and accepting him I just swooned all the time!

Cain, not accepting that he’s in love! I needed to slap some sense into him! I am not okay with poor Jingyoung and what Sid did to him. It was tough to read, and I was just disgusted by it. The many versions of Aaron and Gayle are too adorable! Ben is too gorgeous!

Overall, the story is gripping, the characters are entertaining and enjoyable to go on this journey with them, and the artwork is so fantastic and incredible to visualize.

I remember reading this before it was complete, and it was partly the reason why I dropped it and because the storyline was kinda confusing. That’s probably because i read the unofficial translations (i was desperate 😭). But after picking it up again after waiting 2 years, it was 100% worth the wait. The main leads were perfection. Their chemistry, relationship, EVERYTHING! It was them against the world; none of the toxic, red flag crap. By the end of the story I felt fulfilled and didn’t have any unanswered questions. I could read another 100 chapters of this couple. It’s offical, they’ve made it to my top 10 manhwa list. Kyungjoon and Cain’s relationship is beautiful and pure, there’s no doubt that they’ll ever break up. This story was a great ride, I’ll definitely come back to reminisce.

I have to say i had high hopes for this book and I was let down. I love the cop and the demon king and how they are played and i love the cops friend who is in love with the cop, but I will say that there are points in the story that i think the author took it to far, rap is not cool to show in such a way regardless it is fantasy demon bad guy doing it but its no ok to show in such a way and this book should have a warning for the matter. Its a love hate with this book series, the art is great and storyline interesting but in the end it is all obvious what will play out and who is good and who is bad. I find some point to be boring and not needed and very toxic. This is not a BL in the term of romance but more forced actions, which in real life is not cool.

*Read up to chapter 68 - The uncensored version has about 155 chapters so I'm thinking that I'm definitely done with parts covered by book 1*

The art style and smut *did I mention it's uncensored 👀🤤* are really good but the plot doesn't flow very well. Very confusing

Trigger warning for rape - I skipped the smut chapters for the two characters involved in this but our main characters are consensual and fucking all the damn time. If this was an mpreg manhwa, poor Kyungjoon would have been pregnant 15 times already😫. He and his man are insatiable

Cuando menos me di cuenta la historia ya me había atrapado y no podía dejar de parar de leer, es adictivo y eso me gustó, al igual que el final. Lo que no me gustó y NO PUEDO SIMPLEMENTE DEJARLO PASAR son las cosas que le hacen a uno de los protas, estaba llorando de la rabia por esa escena y acaso el victimario tuvo su castigo al final ??? NO, de hecho fue "feliz" es quee ahhh si uno se pone a pensar claramente el consentimiento a brillado por su ausencia en gran parte de esta historia.

The art is amazing and the action scenes top notch. Though the story line doesn't flow well. It felt like I started reading in the middle of the story instead of giving a background into the characters. Even later on there was never glimpses of past to present so everything felt a little off balance.

I have never seen a story with so much smut simultaneously have such a strong (and at times very intricate) plot. Very unexpected but also quite pleasant.

For such a smut heavy story, there's not only plot but character development too. It's well drawn and well written and steamy. Definitely a good investment.

This story got one of my favourite couples. There's also something about a brutal and fucked up story with the sweetest lovers ever just being soft.
There are definitely some disturbing and cruel themes and the overall tone of the story is dark, so it might not be for everyone. There are some trigger warnings i would've been more than happy to do without but I still love the story to bits.

Enjoyed this so much. Problematic couples besides the main couple (non-con, violence), but I can pretend like those didn't happen since the main couple is so well done. Such beautiful art. Such an intriguing plot. Next time, Pluto, ditch the rapey side crap and give more focus to the central themes and lovey-dovey main couple because those were absolutely brilliant. Also, damn good smut.

Dear door was quite fascinating seeing the mythical things come alive. You can sometimes see the sadness that comes from the main character after losing his lover, but the new experience he faces and being someone new who was a demon really like help the story grow. But there were also some graphics scenes, so I recommend this to people who like reading fighting scenes but like romance in it..

This is my absolute favorite manga/manhwa/manhua. The story just emerges you into this world. It's a stroy I wish didn't end. Wanted more and more of all the characters in this. The first of only two works I've read that had me emotional and crying.
I truly hope this creator will create another work of art.
I also hope to get this in hard copy some day soon.

Kindle

韓国の漫画の日本語版。

web連載してる英語版をチラッと見たけど、縦スクロールで1コマずつ見る漫画をページ単位で見やすいようにコマ割り作って編集して服も日本風の色やロゴに変更してと単行本化にあたりすごく手間がかかってるね。

でもわざわざ日本に置き換えなくても韓国が舞台の話のままで良かったと思う。

日本語版と英語版の人名の違いはこんなかんじでした。
Do Gyeong Joon→亜廉(あれん)
Cain→カイン
Jin Yeong→テツ
Sid→シード

I'm reading the uncensored version online. Based on the publishing dates of the two first books, I guess book one covers the first 44 or 50 episodes of the manga's out-dates on Bomtoon.

Very smutty and graphic!!! But also with a complex story in the background, that get complicated to follow at times. By the end of book 1 the MMCs start to get big feelings for each, that they barely manage to articulate. It's cute.
