Mel, Lynn, and ‘Pulse’ – Intense and Sweet from Beginning to End

As this is posted, the last chapter of Ratana Satis’ GL webcomic series Pulse released its final episode last Friday. I was able to review some of its chapters way back but due to time and Lezhin’s new policy on copyright, I stopped doing them. However, I just need to post this.

Pulse was an intense story. I mean very intense. It follows of how two different people slowly grow together while dealing with a lot trials that they face along the way. For Mel, it was her past. For Lynn, it was her struggle to live due to her heart problem.
As the story went forward into the Sue arc, this is where it went into a huge see-saw. This arc was an ultimate love-hate for me mostly due to Mel’s ex-girlfriend Sue. There were chapters that didn’t really play much importance into the story but thankfully it went a little better as the chapters progress. The impact on the last few chapters were also in the same level as how I felt in the first few chapters. I am just happy that the last episode was to buy for and to read for!

Behind all the confusing stuff, unanswered questions, and all the hullabaloo, I am thankful enough to know that both Mel and Lynn were happy together in the end. The last part got me teary-eyed and this was the ending that I want. While some say that the pacing of the series is rushed, I didn’t really feel that it was at all! A GL story isn’t just mostly about sex and continuous drama. What mattered was how these characters grow together and will go through heaven and hell just to be together.

Mel and Lynn taught us that even broken people can fall in love and be loved in return. This is not just any ordinary webcomic…it’s a masterpiece that should be remembered for a long time. Pulse is part of my GL webcomic recommendations list and it will still remain one of my favorites regardless that it’s done. I am truly going to miss Mel and Lynn so much.

Ratana Satis deserves a standing ovation for this work. She nailed it. She not only touched the hearts of many Yuri/GL fans like myself, she also created a story that will be forever be etched in the minds of many. I look forward to her upcoming works soon.

Another beautiful GL story is done. Well-deserved. Well-Remembered. Forever.

You Can Now Read ‘Lily Love’ on Lezhin!

‘Lily Love’ Page in the Lezhin Comics Website

If you are fans of Ratana Satis‘ ongoing GL webomic hit Pulse, then I’m pretty sure you’ve read one of her other works too. Say no more guys: You can now read her popular GL series Lily Love as well in the Lezhin Comics website!

Though this has been fan-translated in different languages already, I highly encourage that you officially purchase the chapters with Lezhin Coins. The translations are more accurate this time and we’ll never know– there might be more surprises for those who purchase them. This is also a way to support the publisher and the artist herself.
I’ve been following Ratana Satis and her works for quite some time now and she never fails to surprise her followers. I am still hanging on to my theories in Pulse as much as I wanted to share it to her. As always (and as a personal commitment as a fan), I will share them once the series is in its near climax and end. 
So if you love Pulse, you’ll definitely love Lily Love too. I won’t put in any spoilers here for the benefit of those who haven’t read it yet. Now you don’t need to go anywhere else to get your needed GL fix.
I will end this post with a line from the popular musical Hamilton (because this how I sum up how I feel about this annoucement) : “Look around, look around to how lucky we are to alive right now!*”

Pulse Chapter 27 (Long OVERDUE Review Edition + Some Updates) – The Intensity is Real

After having issues with my Internet service provider, I’m back with another Pulse chapter review. I would like to apologize if this has been long overdue. Better later than never I suppose. Warning: Spoilers Ahead.


In Pulse Chapter 26, Mel went full detective mode in tracking down Grace’s fiance– the person responsible for her current painful state. Mel was able to get one of his girls from finding out his location and where his car can be found. She instantly called Crystal about it and told her she’ll track down Tom at all cost. As much as her detective friend wanted to assure Mel that she can take it from here, the surgeon continues to remain stubborn and proceeded to take down the suspect herself.

Mel and Tom met face to face and this was the time when Mel’s hunches were true from the beginning. The chapter ends on a cliffhanging note when Tom pulls out a taser in front of her.
Thoughts
As I’ve mentioned way back in my previous reviews, Pulse shows no indication of slowing down and continues to tickle the curiosity of its fans anticipating for the next chapter release. Due to its intensity, I’d probably give this a 9 out of 10. Like many of the followers of this webcomic, I am worried for Mel (as well for Lynn) and hoping that things would turn around for the better. 
I have mentioned in the Pulse Facebook group posts and comments that I have theories on how the entire story will turn out. But as promised, I decided not to share these theories and will reveal them once Pulse is near its series end.
Back to December

No Taylor Swift song reference title intended. Ratana Satis and her team recently announced that Chapter 28 will be released this December 2 giving a couple of weeks of waiting for Pulse fans. Completely understandable since awesome artists do deserve a break. If you have the time (and the money), the first volume of Pulse is now up for pre-order.

Pulse Chapter 26 (Review) – Detective Mel and ‘Waifu’ Lynn

This was a fun chapter to read and just had the right balance for a great chapter. Warning: Minor spoilers ahead!
“Wait for me.”

In today’s chapter of Pulse, we are welcomed with a sweet phone conversation between Mel and Lynn. The glow that these girls had was just too fluffy and cheesy to ignore. Mel expresses how she missed her and apologizes that they can’t eat dinner together for the reason that Grace is still in a coma and she has to find out more answers related to her accident and possible case of being strangled before her accident.

Mel successfully tracked one of the connections of the potential suspect and the chapter ends with her successfully getting one of the pieces of the puzzle that she needs. 

Thoughts

I understand the Mel is doing this just to get the hands of Grace’s fiance and put him behind bars. It worries me however on what would potentially happen if Lynn found out about what the Doc is about to possibly do with the woman to get answers. 
All in all, still a great chapter to read. In fact, this chapter has better impact compared to Chapter 25. Quite understandable since it’s a shifting chapter to what unfolds in upcoming chapters. Onward to Chapter 27!
Note: I am not sure if I will be able to review the next Chapter 27 since I will be out the next weekend to attend a big cosplay convention in Manila. In case I couldn’t, I’ll probably make up for it reviewing two chapters.

Pulse Chapter 25 (Review) – Serious and Deep

While some people indulge their late Friday nights outside and just party until dawn, I remain in the comforts of my bedroom waiting for the 25th episode of Ratana Satis’ yuri webcomic Pulse. 

In the previous chapter, we witness the intense scene of Mel and Lynn which end up hanging due to an emergency phone call. Fast forward, Grace is in a coma and it’s not for certain yet if she will wake up.
Crystal then comes in hoping that Grace is awake to get clues related to her case. Mel then told her friend to put this case into priority and hopefully track down the person who did this to Grace.

Thoughts on Chapter 25

It’s expected that some would say that this is a filler chapter and you just want that Lynn and Mel scene to continue without disruptions. But you know– we all need to take a break from the intensity of the last chapter. So I have to say that this webcomic is moving in a good pace. Hope it stays that way. 
Though it doesn’t have that much impact (yet), this chapter reminded me of a certain crime/detective series that I was so hooked on way back. As always, I look forward to the next Friday Pulse chapter release party. So I have to say that I don’t hate this chapter and I don’t love it either.
Why am I reminded of Rizzoli and Isles after reading this chapter all of a sudden?
