tas's manga / #School life(10)

AMAZINGGGGGGG. anything by park taejun is a masterpiece, both super funny and incredibly dark at times. this series was a collection of stories and omg the one about the watch is nightmare fuel i will never forget the horrifying ending of that one. and everyone's favs were ofc the toilet romance and the gamer/bully bromance -- both could've been their own series tbh they were that great.

VERY fun read. school mystery, uncovering smaller mysteries that eventually lead up to the big one (was not expecting the true answer). so many plot twists and red herrings. love lighthearted mysteries like this one. also each chapter name being a vegetable pun was great!

9.8/10 this manhua is sooooo cute and good and i miss reading it sm im so upset that the author can’t continue writing it bc of censorship :( but it was a fun ride while it lasted <3

11/10 wow where to begin. this might be my fav manhwa ever. first, the art is so cute and unique and i adore all of the character designs and backgrounds vv much. second, every single spirit finger holds such a dear place in my heart. idk how the author managed to give every single character such amazing development in subtle ways. obv, amy's development was so so good, w her self-confidence naturally growing as she spent more time w the rest of the spirit fingers. then kevin and amy's relationship w kevin being the Best Boyfriend Ever. and each character's r/s's w their friends too developing over time (amy n sarah n may; kevin n tristan n david n steve). i honestly cant think of the right words to describe this except it is an experience and journey into self love, not just for the characters, but for the readers, as well. def a must read.

7/2/22 - 7/7/22 SOOOOOOSOOO GOOD best depiction of friends to lovers i have EVER read. first, i'm ngl, the author def sold me on the woojin and gayoung are JUST friends and they will never be anything more bc their friendship is perfect the way it is and tbh i would be happy w it bc there was never anything missing in their friendship. so when gayoung started developing feelings i was like mmmm i can see where this is going and i like it but also not completely sold that the love she feels is romantic (same w woojin later on). my only nitpicky issue is woojin's confession bc it felt kinda quick BUT i was willing to overlook that bc the rest of the manhwa was just too too good. i literally shed tears during gayoung's first confession and i usually only cry for super sad moments but oh my god the angst in this was just top tier--the repressed feelings, the caring about e/o so so much, the DRAMA w seeing woojin and yoojin together, both of them hurting ahhhgghhhh i loved it even tho it hurt sm also, o-hyung is my fav side character prob of all time (and HIM AND CHANHEE DESERVED THEIR OWN LOVE STORY ARC) he is the sole voice of reason. and boyoon and ari's lil arc too was just too cute but i wasnt as invested in them as i was for chanhee and ohyung idk but they were still cute. and yoojin deserves better than her current bf im still mad shes still w him. overall, 9.999/10

9.5/10 so incredibly wholesome and soo and choa's relationship progressed sooo naturally and wonderfully and all of their shenanigans were so fun to read. rlyrlyrly cute and i loved the ending and that we were able to see them as college students too

had a promising premise but just felt way too short and left too many central questions unanswered. also all the characters looked like they had neck posture issues and it bothered me sm im ngl. wish we learned more abt the floating thing.

4.5/10 an alien comes to a bullied hs girl's home to retrieve an eiren (magical stone thing) and eventually helps her grow confidence and improves her life. this was an alright read v avg story that started off as a promising otherworldly situation and room for character growth and romance, but it kinda just developed into a v generic hs story and the romance was an ambiguous ending which i didn't rly like. we saw nothing of ian's world and i wish we did bc that would've been more interesting bc there were so many loose threads. was a light read and had its interesting moments (i rly rly liked hanje's character), but not worth going out of your way to read

4/3/24 - 4/23/24 10/10 literally had me so hooked from beginning to end bc of how interesting the characters were. their love for each other is soooso deep. and the art was STUNNING. i was in awe at how the artist portrayed intimacy in their little, seemingly subconscious, and easy touches
