Just in case somebody else is also desperately waiting for more chapters but can unlike me read Korean, the series is available on Lezhin in Korea (maybe about 200 chapters of it).
No English?
Sadly no. This is not a Korean webcomic, it's a manga and was only licensed for Korea by Lezhin, the author isn't directly working for them as it's usually the case when they publish a translation. They have a lot more manga and Japanese webcomics licensed in Korea than for their English site. If they publish anything Japanese on their English site it's usually a short series (and often BL or regular romances).
It would be great if they published a translation in English as well but the manga has been going on for a while (I think 20 years or so) and I'm afraid at this point all we can hope for is for another scanlation group to pick it up.
Thank you, I found raw in Chinese but I could not understand the language too. Looking at the picture seem Ooyou will have baby with Saji?
No idea, I haven't looked at the raws, I only know the covers so I can't really say anything about it.
I put it on hold a few months ago because the numerous breaks ruined the enjoyment a little bit, hence why I thought reading it when it's finished would be the best thing to do. However, I didn't check how many chapters there are on the Korean site and thought ch.51 (Finale2) was the last one. I was wrong and absolutely regret not checking it because
Huge spoilers ahead
(Please don't answer with spoilers from the raws. I want to find out how it ends on Monday, when the last chapter is released)
I think the sister is dead. I'm not 100% sure. Chapter 50 and 51 are mostly about Giju being in denial in his subconscious fantasy world so it's not absolutely clear what's going on right now but it looks a lot like she's dead.
The guy who kidnapped her earlier in the story delivers a package to Giju's apartment (only Young-do is there) and we see her broken fingernails peeking out of it. Her fingers aren't moving. In Giju's subconsciousness he insists that there is nothing in it, only a bird but it is made clear that this "bird" is actually his sister and she seems to be dead.
To be honest, at this point I could imagine that all three of them are dead at the end.
Or maybe the author is just trolling us (God I hope he's just trolling us). It's probably possible to figure it out by reading the last few chapters very carefully but I don't have to nerves to do this right now. These last few chapters were too devastating for me.
The only good thing that happened was, that his piece of shit stepfather finally died (again, not 100% sure but it looked a lot like he's dead).

Yuju is definitely dead. His mom set herself, the house and her husband on fire when she found out about it.
The fate of Giju and Young-do is shown in a way that leaves a lot of room for interpretation but to me it is clear that Giju killed himself by jumping from a building and Young-do was killed by the killer we saw earlier in the story. The last scene (in my opinion) is them meeting in the afterlife.
I Giju's and Young-do's deaths are tragic but Yuju's death was too much. It'll take me a while to get over that.
So...
.

Did they have Young-do killed because they think he killed the sister? This feels like one of those stories that was canceled and had to be wrapped up quickly but it also didn’t make much since from the start for me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No, Young-do was killed because he was part of the group (which was lead by his blonde friend) who tried to betray the old man/the old boss, means it was a mafia thing and completely unrelated to her death.
I don't think he had to wrap up quickly, that usually never happens anyway. Looking back now there was a lot of foreshadowing and many hints that it'd end this way. I really liked it but I also think that the author was a little bit troubled sometimes and some things could've been written better but I guess that's something that could be solved with a little bit more experience.
Thank you, I just read the last 8 chapters and I was totally confused. Also, I think you are right, the story is soo good and there is a lot of foreshadowing (the bird, the cage, the mother, etc.) but, sadly, in comparison with the previous chapters, the ending feels a little fast paced and to abstract to fully enjoy it.
Damn your explanation for the ending is incredible !
The ending had been bothering me for a month now, I wish I'd seen it earlier... Now I get what the author was going for, and I do find it interesting.

I also can't deal with Yuju's death, she doesn't even show up in the afterlife :'(...
I think that rather than meeting Young-do in the afterlife, it's more like while thinking about how miserable his short life has been, Giju realizes that the only good thing that ever happened to him was meeting Young-do. Or something like that... It's a cruel story anyhow.
Like others I still think the story was shortened and the ending was rushed. It wasn't doing super well on korean Lezhin (it wasn't in the BL op 100 in it's last weeks which is underperforming for an ongoing series from a seasoned artist), the author even stopped mentioning Saha on his social media near the end and we never got author's notes (which practically never happens on Lezhin)...
Despite the fact that most of the stuff that happens in the end was foreshadowed, I remember some other forshadowing, in the very begining, that was never adressed later. For example (I don't remember in which chapter it was exactly) the narrator says something like: "Later Young-do would ask Giju what he would do if he had xxx amount of money, and Giju would respond that he only needed Young-do", but their relationship never got to a point were they had these type of old couple's conversations... I feel like all the latest events were supposed to happen way later, unless this is a conversation they have in the afterlife?
There also the huge plot hole regarding Giju's mother. There's a lot of foreshadowing regarding his past, with the lady in the convinient store recognizing him, for example, and, if I recall correctly, it was implied that the people with who Yuji stayed before getting kidnapped were linked to Giju's mother. But in the end we only learn that she supposedly chose to leave him with his godforsaken adoptive parents, but we're never told why she did that...
Finally, when the narrator shows up for the first time, she tells him something about "saving those girls", but that was also eluded. Btw, any theories out there about the narrator ? Is it like in Digitalis where she's some sort of godess watching over the characters, is she a creation of Giju's mind or was the author simply trying to be meta ?
I don't know how to feel about all this... It started great and it later became quite trippy (which I like) but something is off with the ending, it's too evasive and the pacing was not so great (￣∇￣").
At least this is a series I will remember !
Something importan to note about Yuju

She "kinda" appears at the afterlife, if you see baby Giju hand, there is a little bird, like the one he imagines in the cage. Of course, this can be a mere symbolism but is nice to see it :)
Now that I know there's no epilogue or a proper author's note I also think that maybe something else is the reason why it ended this quickly.
He went on Hiatus twelve times while writing Saha. A 52 chapters long series with short (mostly black and white) chapters that was released three times a month. Some of those breaks lasted up to a month.
It wasn't his first series with a release schedule like this. He wrote another series for Lezhin that's almost twice as long and he only went on hiatus a few times while writing that one.
I still can't imagine that they suddenly canceled his series but it's possible that he wasn't satisfied with the story, had problems wrapping things up and maybe Lezhin wasn't willing to give him more time or maybe he didn't want to work on it anymore.
I had a similar experience with Delicious. The story itself was great but the ending was a little bit lackluster. Everything was wrapped up but it wasn't as exciting as it could've been.
The epilogue was four sentences long and most of the text was about how disappointed the author was in his own work.
Whatever the reason was, I hope that he will have less problems with his next series (and get another series on Lezhin so that we get an official translation ;) ).
Yep, that's how I saw it as well.
This is starting to make me angry. Almost every guy in this is an asshole. The only one worth keeping is Dorim. Everybody else either controlling, manipulative or possessive. How am I supposed to enjoy this when almost every guy is just taking advantage of her? And it's not even the fucked up kinky kind of possessive (which can be hot), it's that kind of behavior you see often enough in real life which makes me even angrier.
When coffee shop guy made that scene in public I just wanted to punch him. That's so manipulative and she almost fell for his bullshit.
I guess it's best for me to wait until it's over and hopefully has a happy end (which means she either ends up with no one or Dorim, the only one who respects her boundaries, is honest with her and doesn't want to control her).

It starts with Sangho telling Hakdo's sister that they're in a relationship which seems to be shocking news to her, especially because she's still convinced that Hakdo has only feelings for Doochi. However, Sangho says it's okay that he has a crush on Doochi since he believes that he likes both of them.
Later that day they go on a date but Sangho is still a little bit insecure about the whole Doochi thing so he asks Hakdo if they're on a date and if they both like each other and he says yes.
They make out in public for a little while and then cancel their movie tickets to go home and have sex.
Thanks!!!!
whose on top this time?
Sangho
You're welcome
Spoilers for chapter 36
Sangho realizes that Doochi influenced Hakdo the same way his ex influenced him. He's aware that it shouldn't matter but he seems to be bothered by it a little bit.
Then Sangho casually confesses that he likes Hakdo (it was more of an accident and less on purpose ) and then Hakdo does the same.
Which means it's official. They're a couple.
Then Hakdo's sister asks Sangho's ex if she can work with him but he shoots her down immediately. The chapter ends with the sister asking Sangho what connection he has with him (she's still furious and wonders why he managed to get his ex to work with him).
By the way, there will be no spoilers next Sunday. I'll be visiting a festival next week and won't read the chapter until Tuesday.
Thanks!!!!
Thank you
Thank you so much!
I saw this quite late, but thanks! Hope you have/had fun with the festival!
Thanks, it was great ^^.
Spoilers chapter 35
Their relationship status is still a little bit complicated. Sangho told his brother that they both like each other but Hakdo... and then he ended the sentence because he didn't want to talk about it with his brother. I assume based on the last scene that it has something to do with Hakdo being crazy in love with Doochi for so long.
Sangho's brother took the news surprisingly well. He still loves his baby brother and insisted that they would sleep in one bed together (which is kind of adorable in it's own weird way ;) ). He tried to learn more about Hakdo by talking to Hakdo's sister but that didn't really work.
In the last scene we see Hakdo and Sangho going on a date together (I guess), being all lovey dovey together until Hakdo casually mentions that Doochi is the reason why he eats Hawaiian pizza. Sangho reacts kind of shocked to it (at least that's how it looks to me) while Hakdo seems surprised and lost by Sangho's reaction. And that's the end of the chapter.
You’re an angel!!!!!! (づ￣ ³￣)づ Thanks!!!!
You're welcome ^^
Thank you, darling.
Mild spoilers chapter 65
The new female werewolf character looks absolutely gorgeous! I really hope the author makes a GL spin-off or wirtes a GL story in the future because her female characters are among the most beautiful I've seen in a while.
Just to prepare you guys, there aren't that many chapters left. The main story ended with chapter 49. I don't know if there will be extras/side stories because I can't read Korean which means that I can't read the epilogue.
On the bright side, while it never ended up being popular on their Korean site (which isn't a surprise. I'm pretty sure even the publisher didn't expect high sales with a story like this), it's doing surprisingly well on their English site.
Spoilers for chapter 34
He is dressed like this because he went to work at the bar and was sent home because he ripped the dress at the back. Hakdo was at his place to study but then they made out, that's why his lipstick is smudged. Hakdo went to open the door, thinking it was the pizza delivery guy which means that his brother didn't just see Sangho dressed like this, he also knows about Hakdo. When his brother asked him why he's dressed like this he answered that this is the type of person he is. His brother is rather calm but is wondering how his baby brother ended up like this (I don't think he's seriously concerned, just a little bit shocked).
It's not clear whether his brother knows he's gay or not. He seems to be only wondering about the way Sangho is dressed.
It was also not shown what happened between Hakdo and Sangho after the first scene of chapter 33 was cut off but they looked very happy together this chapter ;) .
Thanks!!!!!!
Edit: Seems like somebody updated the chapter while I wrote the spoilers (￣∇￣").
Anyways, I think I'm starting to feel a little bit sorry for Sangho's brother but I'm still grateful that Hakdo prevented Sangho from taking the call.
By the way (slightly spoilerish)
The preview picture for the next episode looks like we'll get at least a little bit more sex next week.
Yeah! I'm already excited for next week!
