katlovesfries's manga / #childhood friends(12)

Back to School

Complete | Oryu | 2019 released

A story of obsession, manipulation and isolation. I was sitting in the edge of my seat while reading this whole thing. I was constantly trying to figure out what would happen next, and was surprised over and over. It really showcases how far some people will go for the people they love, even if it’s unrequited. It’s twisted, complicated and dark. It has a happy ending, and I really liked how things were handled. The ending seemed rushed, and I wanted so much more, but I’m still very happy.

Our First Day

Complete | Tan geum | 2019 released

This story was okay, but nothing more than that. I didn't find it particularly interesting, but the age gap between the characters is done in a nice way that doesn't depicts one of them as a creep. I didn't like the art very much either, but that is just personal preference. It did ruin the reading experience a little, though.
