Killing Stalking

Complete | koogi | 2016 released

Honestly I’m… speechless. This was really really good. Props to the author. The art is amazing as well and really sets the mood. The two main characters, one looks disheveled, tiny and like a starved child (even though he’s the older one) and the other is tall, built and handsome. There are ‘romantic’ parts but because of the context, as well as their extremely different appearances, it’s still very uncomfortable. Which I think was done purposefully, as it adds to the twisted feeling of this story. Your humanity will make you feel bad for both characters at times, and even makes you wish they could have a normal romantic relationship. But their relationship is far from normal, and even in the end it’s hard to say for sure what they felt for each other. Was it truly love? Especially on Sangwoos end. Or was it solely just twisted? I loved every minute of this because of the discomfort and conflicting feelings, which is exactly why the author did so well with this.
