My Starry Sky
TW: abusive family, mental illness, bullying, trauma, suicide attempt // I'm still screaming to this day everytime i remember this manhwa. What a masterpiece. I put reading it off for so long because i didn't rly like the art at first, but boy oh boy, i'm really glad i got over myself. The story has dark themes FOR SURE, but it's handled respectfully and consistently. Nothing is magically fine just because two people love each other. They are still trying their best to heal even at the end of the story. And i think that's really wonderful of the author! Also, the way the misunderstanding and mystery unraveled was masterpiece, i cried tons, and the happy(ish) end was so so so well deserved that my heart was purged from 10 years worth of resentment. A++++++.
Here and There and Us
A really well written story! It's not focused on romance, it's more about the ins and outs of a friendship between two polar opposites, and i'm all for it. The characterization is on point, and i love that the two main characters stayed true to their personalities to the end. The author also did a great job portraying how highschool life and relationship works in real life, and i got tons of nostalgia from reading this manga. It's super good!
