fujoker's manga / #funny(51)

honestly, i don't think any amount of praise in the world can fully encapsulate my love for park jiyeons work, especially for wolf in the house. there is something so magical about her pristine and chic artwork, and the way it captures sensuality, beauty, and even humour. it makes a story about werewolves and mafia, feel so down to earth. her characters too, they feel like real people with unique and charming personalities that hold tangible weight over the story, rather than just being archetypes robotically fulfilling the various cliche progressions of this genre. and what cannot be understated is the delightful queerness of her characters, their identities as gay men and women are clear cut and expressed with both compassion and respect beyond voyeuristic appeal (though believe me she can certainly draw erotic enough scenes to gawk at).

ONE OF THE BEST SLOW BURNS IVE EVER READ IT WAS WORTH IT, IT WAS ALL WORTH IT

i just want these messed up fucking kids to be happy.

short and sweet, but really very special.

i have yet to read a korean isekai that has managed to bend genres in such an interesting and engaging way. literally from the very first episode i was on the edge of my seat. because what i thought would be another shallow romance using the pretence of reincarnation as plot fodder, turned out to be an incredibly compelling deconstruction of novel isekai's. one that embraced the unconventional nature of its premise in order to flesh out not just the main character, but ALL of the supporting cast. everyone has distinct personalities and designs and functions in the story. and i just cannot express enough how much i love the centring of a relationship between two women as the catalyst for much of the plot. i have become so exhausted of these paper-thin manhwas with their borderline misogynistic implications of the merit of heterosexual romance, what a fucking breath of fresh air man. creepy and intense, such genuine originality is found in this world-building. drop whatever lame-ass money-hungry isekai copy-paste you are reading right now THIS IS IT.
