Am I the only one who thinks this is a rip-off of Shutline? Uke looks like Shingun and their personalities are very alike, the dynamic is similar, and there's the whole "contract" thing and USA setting too. Not hating, as it's not that bad, but I wish there were stories with more original plotlines.

    Lowkey what I was thinking, and there's a sleezy character that's similar to ross trying to get with the mc? It's basically just shutline atp

    So far, Jake is far more complex than Aaron and I feel like Jake respects Shin more than Aaron respects Yujin. I also think Jake/Shin have a lot more chemistry than Aaron/Yujin. I can definitely see if the author of Flashlight is trying to emulate Shutline but their writing skills aren't quite on par.

    So similar right?? I mean I'm not hating the author but the art, story, even the characters resemble Shutline..make it kind of weird reading this without thinking about shutline

    Totally agree, that's why it feels like a rip-off and you can't help but compare. But of course, shutline is superior in every regard.
