A Paramour

Complete | Brothers without a tomorrow | 2000 released

After I picked this up, I soon formed a habit of reading a couple of chapters every night before bed. Good choice for that since the artstyle and slow build convey this serene, calming atmosphere despite all the drama going on in the story. Does such a good job developing the plot and its’ characters, even made me cry at one point (Merry’s mom ಥ﹏ಥ). The relationship between Sooho and Merry was so endearing and wholesome. Was actually surprised how affectionate and even playful Sooho was because at the beginning I expected him to be this aloof type of character.

One criticism I have is that the ending felt a bit rushed. Poor Anemone really deserved some more resolution IMO. Such a wonderful lady but her involvement kind of just stopped without us even getting her reaction to a tragedy involving her. I'd have loved to hear how she moved on. And what about Merry's childhood friend? Seemed like she was developing a crush for Anemone but that element was completely dropped. Was a bit off-putting since the story otherwise took its' time with all the development but here in the end, not so much.
