Mother I'm sorry

such an amazing manhwa, made me cry multiple times. started off so funny but the inevitability of the tragedy... the ending was bittersweet but the whole concept and story and art were all 10/10

Spirit Fingers

Ongoing | Han Kyoung Charl | 2015 released

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.

Story Of Someone We Know Manhwa

Complete | omyo | 2012 released

9.7/10 sooo soo good but def some angsty moments bc it's a story of realistic relationships and you can't hate anyone. the art is suuuuper super cute and each character's arcs were done beautifully [SPOILERS] (esp jung-ah even tho hers was obv the saddest but im glad it hints at her getting w lala's owner). summer's arc was the most frustrating ofc bc when you're in the pov of someone who may or may not be emotionally cheating it feels vvvv strange. i appreciated that she quit her part time job to stay loyal to sanghoon but it still hurt that she never went back to visit sunoh bc they still had such a great friendship. would def rec

Moonlight Beauty Parlor

Ongoing | nawa | 2019 released

8.5/10 this was honestly a great cute story it has some cliches but it still manages to make them work. in the beginning, i looooooved how calming each episode was with hyeondu pampering clients it felt very slice-of-lifey in a good way. and the art is so cute and nostalgic like 2010s shojo manga. and then it started getting more dramatic and i still loved it! the whole thing w hyeondu's mom's death and the grace-rainbow rivalry was super interesting. hate grace's CEO. i think the ending was just slightly rushed (i still enjoyed it) but i would have found it slightly more satisfying if the author lengthened it out just a bit. i also rmbr hyeondu's confession felt kinda abrupt too but i dont regret reading moonlight beauty parlor! still a cute story and im glad everything was tied up in the end (ina being the meerkat and hyeondu sleeping only w the meerkat plushie as a child was such a full circle moment)

8/10 Beautiful story about childhood friends, youth, and change. Tsugu was such a fun character and I loved her dramatic old grandpa. I wish Yuushin actually apologized to everyone. This quote actually hurt but resonated so deeply: "There could be a day when we'll never see each other again. But even then, I'm sure my flesh and blood and bones will be made of you back when." We may change but we never truly let go of who we were as kids when nothing and everything mattered. Also that quote about how we are a mosaic of everyone we have ever loved, even for a heartbeat.
