i love the little details the artist/s has added to make this series so full of life !!! it’s not very typical of bl manhwas to go as far as adding little details implicative of the character’s queer identity even before it’s properly established, so it’s reallt appreciated when it’s there! like, with the ml’s living space we see in chapter 2, rainbow symbol on his fridge + his pajama shirt that literally reads “real cowboys ride cock” LMAO.

+ the warm colours and softer line-art is reallt gorgeous and makes this story so visually appealing <33

i found this series yesterday and just binged up to chapter 84 and oh my god, its so good. for a reincarnation historical romance manhwa, this story is so refreshing and pleasing to read. the story is so interesting, i had a fieldtrip seeing the political drama unfold alongside the romance. i’m a consumer of the artist’s previous works, namely “cinema next door” and “glasses cloth and playlist”, and surely stigmata takes the cake for having one of the most gorgeous styles of visual storytelling i’ve ever seen. and despite being at chapter 84, i respect the amount of effort that’s been put in to maintain these level of visuals, also considering i haven’t been jarred by an unnaturally placed 3D model.

(extra note: the production of any manhwa should deserve more appreciation for going the extra mile to properly integrate 3d models into the style of the art, respect to all artists considering their time constraints, but please no more awkward 3d models of shoes, food or other general environments.)
