Keep Holding On

Complete | Com | 2000 released

It wasn’t the most interesting manhwa and was criminally short for my liking but it was pretty cute nonetheless. I think all the characters are likeable but i just wish this was longer. Like i think 35 ch would’ve given this more substance. Overall, 6.5/10 only because of the length and pacing (due to the length). If it was properly paced and was longer, it would’ve been a solid 7.5 or 8

this is my 2nd or third reread of this. They are so pure and sweet, i really love them. it’s so sad how they drifted due to societal pressures for acting a certain way when all along, if they confided in eachother they’d know the feeling was mutual. Very wholesome. i like how they got together during uni i think that opened up a lot of pathways.

I’m not sure why I love this story so much. Realistically, It’d be way better if it was like 20 chapters instead of 5, but I love the dynamic between the characters so much. The quiet intimacy they share, the affection that permeates skin, and still mornings after sex, it’s just so good. This could also be because I see myself in the black-haired person a lot, leaving love unrequited, a silent yearning not expecting anything of it nor trying to influence it. I’m glad it worked out for them, though realistically It doesn't usually end up doing that usually. The pain of a 7yr unrequited love finally came to a meaningful end, and I think there was a beauty in the fact that in the black haired guy’s mind, there was always only just one. 10/10
