anxiety's manga / #Drama(25)

off to a strong start! art is interesting, triangle in the brewing? controlling top with a bottom caught in his spell -- a mutual friend from high school tries to rescue him ? jihoon is awkward at making friends, he's stiff and appears cold, but people interpret it as his being cocky and dislike him for it. you can see in the first chapter he is actually painfully aware of this - like, social anxiety quasiment. woo sunjae is popular and well-liked, but he seems really annoyed that kiboom keeps poking his nose (?) even if he just worries about jihoon, and reasonably so. weird thing about jihoon and sunjae changing their phones constantly, wherein kiboom couldnt get in contact with either of them and when he sees that jihoon has exchanged numbers with kiboom, the look in his eye...jealousy, no doubt

OK THE WRITING AND PANNELING HAS NO BUSINESS BEING THIS FUCKING FUNNY WOOJIN MVP I DONT EVEN CARE THIS MAN IS CARRYING THE MANHWA also uke is a fucking king oh my god

ok hands down this is the BEST THING THAT HAS EVER BEEN WRITTEN HOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. the author did not pull any punches with this one--was not afraid to go to where they needed to. the characters they wrote were exquisite, and the pacing was actually phenomenal. it was like getting roped into the world and before you knew it the plot was already so complex and the characters so entangled with one another. it was predictable on one level (see the doctor's fate) but there were so many twists and turns along the way and with the rapid-fire developments and comedy it's not a deterrent at all. in fact, i found myself wondering the whole time HOW it would unfold. fucking brilliant. this author is honestly a genius.

THIS IS SO SWEET a coming-of-age story where mc is reckoning w the fact that he's queer and in love with his friend/roommate. a friend of their is out but it was against his will (it was out of consideration for sato with whom the friend was rumoured to be dating) so there is a factor of societal norms affecting the characters but it makes for a great sweet story
