crispicheva's manga / #time skip(4)

storyline: set in the 80s, lee sungho is a pharmacy straight A student who lives under his father’s pressure to be the best in everything he does. he gets frequent headaches that seem to only go away when he gets involved with shim dukgwang, a poster artist for a movie theater that also acts as an undercover meeting spot for gay men, away from the their homophobic society’s eyes reaction: damn this had layers!!! it could’ve been a 5 star story for me (the time skip really added an extra depth to the angst here) but the side story was a bit too questionable for my morals, so 4 stars it is!

storyline: trevor edwards is a lawyer who picks up a homeless young man named gene and gets him off the streets by offering him a job as a live-in housekeeper. gene is a former amish who chose not to return to his village, and instead wants to explore the world. trevor supports him, and loves him throughout the process. review: this is the loveliest thing i’ve read in such a long time omg the characters, the dynamics, the ART………… i love it so much

storyline: haejin and sunwoo are former highschool sweethearts who bonded over their love for writing and reading, but ended up breaking up on a bad note. now find each other again working for the same publishing company review: i think some plot points needed addressing and didn’t get the resolution we needed… did sunwoo tell haejin that he plagiarized his writing for the contest? when did sunwoo even read haejin’s writing before? i don’t think these were mentioned anywhere in the story and i believe these were key points in the narrative… a bit disappointing but not a bad story
