I can’t cry on this. The author put to words exactly how I feel. This is way too familiar. How I wish Haemin became someone who survived and told his story. I wanted a perspective on how he survived this moment in his life but alas, may this be a reminder to myself on how the people around me would feel once I committed suicide. In a way, art is the only thing he did for himself. It’s so painful that even his death he did for the sake of other people. I know it’s not real but I hope Haemin was able to free himself of these burdens.
There’s something very beautiful about this series. I wish I was better with words so I can explain how breathtakingly human the story is. From doukyuusei to blanc, each one has an aspect it focuses on. Doukyssei was light-hearted and gave you that feeling of first love. I felt like I grew up with the series, if that makes sense. Sotsu Gyo Sei was more about that period of your life where you’re at a crossroad. When you’re filling up your college applications and accepting the fact that you’re gonna move away from your high school friends and probably go to a college far away from home. Blanc is bittersweet. I’m not good with words and that’s the best I can think of. It hurts you but it also heals you. Blanc is like the road to adulthood. A good bye to comfort, to the things that you hold dear and welcoming new things. It just made an impact for me and I’d probably remember this as one of the most impactful mangas of my life
This is a work that is very well thought out. It tackled topics that are rarely discussed. The way a person looks does not mean “you want it”, something that is very much ignored by a lot of people and needs to be taken action against. THE WAY A PERSON DRESSES DOES NOT GIVE YOU A RIGHT TO SEXUALIZE THEM! In the first place, we dress up because we like it. It makes us feel pretty and confident. We don’t want to be objects for your pleasure and we certainly don’t aim to be sexualized. Overall, a good read. Wish it will be continued
I’m so glad someone decided to continue it. I thought it was forever dropped. Thank you translator-nim for the awesome translation (▰˘◡˘▰)
