they're the author of Watakoi / love is hard for an otaku, and their comics are usually pretty short. they're also a pretty independent mangaka, I think they were able to publish watakoi because they won a competition.
This story was really cute and I really liked it but the friend, that asshole friend... I don’t like how he was easily forgiven for lying about a suicide attempt. Like that threw me all the way off. If someone did that to me I’d cut them off immediately. How do you play with someone’s emotions like that? Especially someone who’s giving up their own free time and putting their life on hold for you. Yuck left really bad taste in my mouth but the couple was so cute so so cute
It threw me off as well and made me super mad as well, especially since I am suicidal myself and this is not a laughing matter. I think the reason he was easily forgiven was that he walked, if he didn't walk I'm sure he would be in a lot more trouble, but walking after over 5 months of being crippled and struggling with even having the will to recover is such an incredible emotional moment that it threw him off and made him forgive him. That's my interpretation of it at least. Ofc it's not an excuse and it doesn't make up for that lie, but I think that's the reasoning. He thought he'd never see him walk again, so it was very meaningful to both of them
IH and SH are not the same type of asshole. SH while being an aggressor has always been upfront about his assholery. Literally what you see is what you get. He is literally vocal about being an asshole so it’s no surprise when he does something shitty.
IH on the other hand hides his true nature under false pretenses. Literally the first scene we see of him is with a little girl that’s gifts him a pretty leaf she finds and he smiles at her and thanks her and then immediately THROWS THE LEAF ON THE GROUND. Like that type of shit is really low. IH is the type of the person that will stab you in the back while for SH you will see coming from the front (in theory you at least have time to escape if you see SH coming).
THEY ARE BOTH ASSHOLES AND DESERVE THE ELECTRIC CHAIR. I’m just saying SH wears his evil on his sleeve while IH hides it. That’s all.
I know you're not defending but many people say this to make Seungho seems better, and honestly, if you think about it from our reality perspective, Seungho is waaaay worse, you can find many manipulators around you but not many abductors and rapists that roam around freely
If the story wasn't in ancient times, Seungho would immediately belong to jail.
Very few things in life cut deeper than rape.
You're seeing it from a reader's perspective and I agree with your opinion but if we're being serious for a sec, the learned sir is less, less worse than Seungho even though he's a snake.
Most people would choose a lying, manipulative bastard over a murderer and a rapist.
