This is my holy grail. It doesnt matter if there are any mistakes to me, because the storytelling, the art, the way hurt and longing and love and hope are depicted in this are simply my favorite out of anything I’ve read here.
I just reread this and I have to agree with you. The angst and longing was so sweetly painful, and their love for each other was so well articulated thru their facial expressions. Ten years. The what if always comes to mind to think of CS have found and read his journal in time. But then, we would not have this beautiful story.
First post on here after years of being on this site! I am looking for manga/manhwa/etc with interesting plots and with themes of childhood friends/amnesia and reuniting. Examples of what I’m hoping to get similar recommendations for include At The End of the Road by Haribo, Red Candy by Hanse, and Park Hanhoo’s Manager by KIM TAC. Thank you so much!!!
I love the story telling. This is a peak example of how to tell stories with important and serious themes without making it feel like weighing characters and readers down with trauma. The related themes of family, abandonment, loneliness, hurt, all combined in an often neglected and left behind community intersecting with seniors and rural as well as prejudice in conservative societies (rural/Korea) are great. I’ve loved many rural based stories I’ve read recently but this feels closer to reality.
