I can relate to both of the main characters— I’m second in school rankings and I’m always parenting my little siblings because my parents have a lot on their plate. It was like being comforted by both characters. Not to mention, their dynamic was incredible and there was absolutely no frustrating miscommunication/annoying tropes! Though I’m sad it ended, this really felt like the perfect length of the story. An instant favorite for sure.
I thought this was going to be a standard shoujo love triangle, but it seems fairly fresh and unique from the art style to the way it explores its story. Definitely one to keep an eye on
the only manhwa where i need a pillow for reading so i can scream into it whenever im feeling intense emotion. ie: FUCK their relationship is so HEALTHY and has such GOOD COMMUNICATION. and holy SHIT we’re getting MORE with SUNWOO that makes me INCREDIBLY HAPPY. i just. there’s nothing else on this site that makes me this happy so consistently. it’s truly a joy to read.
It’s absolutely over the top ridiculous but so self aware that it just comes off as absolutely hilarious!!! Not only that, it actively subverts tropes in shoujo manga by giving us the cutest male lead in existence and a cool beauty who’s not a total bitch!!! wow!!! those exist!!! I just really love the dynamic and hope to see more stories like this in the future.
The way the artist tells a story, with such simple yet powerful metaphors. I really loved that. Also that it was realistic, and all the characters uniquely flawed, and the ambiguity and uncertainty of everything. It’s a perfect capsule of adolescence.
The only thing against it is that story-wise, it’s a bit predictable. I tend to dislike reading about relationships I know are fated to fail. But that’s a matter of taste, and it was definitely essential to the story, so I can forgive it.
teaching her self defense! that’s such a novel and adorable spin on the i’m-afraid-of-boys trope. also, my mom is a lot like the main character’s, so when she stood up to her I felt like cheering. And I loved how spaced out their meetings were! It made for some good angst and just felt more realistic; it always comes off as a little cheesy when two characters coincidentally meet in improbable ways. By embracing it, I felt more during their time together, and seeing them grow up feels so bittersweet. This is definitely a new favorite read.
How did they know I’m a sucker for tough guys who have a soft spot for their sisters/nieces??
the art is beautiful and the story is entertaining as fuck. thank you so much to whoever uploaded this
It’s stupid but I felt so empty after Yumi’s Cells. Mamura was the first manga character I ever felt so strongly for. Reading this, my heart can be at peace.
why was that the first quote to pop into my head after the last scene. he’s such a precious puppy of a boy :(( don’t make him sad over this :(( but also do :(( because i live for the angst :((
