SUMMARY [In a world entirely ruled by giants, the human race, which has turned into their food, has surrounded its residential zones with immense walls, which both prevent their freedom outside the walls and protect them from incursions. However, as a result of the appearance of supergiants who cross the wall, a desperate struggle begins and the young heroes, who have lost their parents, fight the giant as a training corps, with a view to regaining their freedom.] I finished this back in April when the last chapter came out, and I still think about it sometimes. This manga is as good as everyone claims it to be. It's not only action-based, but it also puts focus on racism and political differences. I love the questions of "what is the right and what is wrong?" and "who are the bad guys?". Can't wait for the anime to finish up, even though it's an end of an era.

SUMMARY [Jae-kyung, who grew up under a perfectionist father, must keep first place in the entire school.] This was actually so sad to read. Jaekyung constantly not thinking he's good enough, and living in fear everyday of his father is truly heartbreaking. This Manhwa is a great example of the consequences of parents who have too many expectations of their children. The ending really sits with me - it really shows how much damage Jaekyung's father has done along with his mother leaving him when he was a child. Amazing but heartbreaking all at once.

SUMMARY [There is a serial killer in my house!] I've been sitting for a few moments to take everything in. This manhwa is fantastic. The plot is incredible, and it has so many plot twists that made me sit anxiously in my seat. The colour palette is perfect for the plot, and it makes everything seem even more disturbing. Jin's father is truly sick, twisted and manipulative, and it clearly shows many times, and I never would have guessed this to be the ending. One of the best manhwas I've ever read, and I definitely recommend!

SUMMARY [Bran is an alcoholic low-life who suffers from epileptic seizures after saving his friend, Andy, from a train accident years ago. Guilt-ridden and obsessively in love with Bran, Andy has become a nurse to properly care for and financially support his abusive friend all while living a darker life behind closed doors.] The ending is everything. It raises so many questions like, "does Andy really come back?" and "was it all really just in Bran's head?" It was disturbing, and I couldn't stop reading. But it's straight up gore, so keep that in mind. With that being said, this is actually a good read. It has the right amount of horror and disgusting-ness I was looking for, and let's be honest, Andy is crazy.

SUMMARY ["Mr. Ghost, won't you tell me your name now?"] I like the composition of the story. It's very short, but at the same time, it's surprisingly impactful. Basically, two lovers who can't be together in the same timeline - thereby, right person, wrong time.

SUMMARY [Noah, a kid that I met 6 years ago in an orphanage. His closed off appearance, made me feel like I was seeing my younger self so i have to admit that I wanted to care for him more... I didn't think that he would follow me this much. Lord, can I lead him to the right path?] It contains stunning art work, and there's something about Noah's eye bags. I can't put it into words, so take a look for yourself. This is not for everyone, so please read the warnings before continuing further. With that being said, I liked the religious aspect in the story. The final chapters were not excepted, so there's a little plot twist. None of it was excepted to be fair.

SUMMARY [Jinyoo’s life is a living hell—he’s become a hermit due to an abusive father and a traumatic bullying experience. But just when he thinks life can’t get any worse, he is kidnapped by his high school classmate, Gyuh-wool, who’s developed a twisted obsession over him. Jinyoo quickly learns that there is no escape… The only way to survive is to obey Gyuh-wool’s orders] This is definitely not for everyone, nor the faint of heart. If you miss Killing Stalking and you enjoyed it, this would likely suit your taste. Interesting for sure, but disturbing and tragic. Proceed with caution.

SUMMARY [Yoon Bum, a scrawny quiet boy, has a crush on one of the most popular and handsome guys in school, Sangwoo. One day, with Yoonbum's obsession towards Sangwoo reaching its peak, Yoon Bum decides to enter Sangwoo's home. But what he saw inside was not the Sangwoo he had dreamed of.] This is not for everyone, at all. This manwha is pretty fucked up, but also interesting. I was sitting in the edge of my seat while reading this, and I was rooting for Yoon Bum all the way through. The ending is tragic, and not what I was expecting. If you enjoyed this, you should read "Obey".

SUMMARY [A group of high school students were spending their peaceful days freely until they have been chosen as the participants of the game where everyone is being hypnotized until they commit suicide. No one is safe from a sudden death, so what will they do to avoid their fates?] I've been sitting, trying to collect my thoughts on this manga, but I'm speechless. I started reading this a couple of months ago, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it because of a lack of interest. I'm so happy I did, though. This was full of plot twists, and I had no idea what to expect, nor what would happen next. This manga will make you question everything, seriously, EVERYTHING! It plays mind games with you like no other piece of fiction I've ever read. This was such a thrilling reading experience, but keep in mind that non-consensual acts do take place in this manga. Proceed with overall caution.

SUMMARY [Every male who encounters Tomie becomes obsessed with her and eventually kills and dismembers her. But Tomie is not human, and is always reborn...] This was certainly interesting, especially seeing how Itou Junju interprets obsession. The art style is fantastic, but I do wish the ending had been a little more "well-rounded" or so to speak. The manga ends abruptly, but maybe that's just me. Tomie is a person who every woman envy, and a person every man will grow to fear. Overall, a very pleasant experience with many unexpected things and situations thrown into the story.
