Glitter's manga / #Psychological(2)

Pretenses. Lots of angst but it hurts so good. Thought provoking. Character growth. A fine example of a story that got the ending that it both needed and deserved (although would have loved side stories to build on their relationship). Official on Lezhin, officials are here. Many chapters are oddly shrunken so I bought it all on Lezhin. 1st: 10/16/22, 2nd: 1/4/23, 3rd: 3/30/23

Summary: (Lezhin) "Some wounds are slow to heal. Giran’s been alone ever since his grandmother died, and he has no intention of letting anyone into his life. But one day, out of nowhere, he meets an exceptionally pretty face…who’s also exceptionally good in bed. This one-night fling turns into something more when Giran finds out that his meeting with Seon-gyeong was more than just a coincidence. The two have similar pasts that are stained with painful losses. Trauma can be all-consuming, but every walk through life is made better with someone by your side." Official on Lezhin.
