Efforts Never Betray

Complete | Akpa (악파) | 2000 released

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.

Bastard (hwang Youngchan)

Complete | Carnby Kim,Youngchan Hwang | 2015 released

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!

Usagi no Mori

Ongoing | Enjo | 2018 released

I don't even know where to start with this one, but was not anything like I was expecting. My heart breaks for Tamaki with what he's been through, and what he has had to endure throughout his childhood. I was deeply saddened by it all, and the feeling never seemed to go away as I continued reading. Deals with a lot of issues, for sure, and it may not be for everyone.
