Running On Empty
Attempted Suicide // Kidnapping // Stockholm Syndrome // Lima Syndrome // Opposites Attract // Photography // Runaway Han Soo-Bum wanted to take his own life, but instead he's kidnapped by Lee Hyuk Soo, a guy who is falsely accused of murder. The guy takes him as hostage to escape: thus, begins a crazy, but amazing, journey! - I really liked this story, in particular how the two became closer to each other as they spent more time together. It's a full color manhwa with great art and photographic elements, predominant throughout the story: those photos were so beautiful! Moreover, I think that journey was so meaningful. In fact, the story isn't so focused on the characters' backgrounds, the Yakuza background, how the real culprit was caught etc., but rather on the journey, exactly because it's metaphorical: I think the point is that you never know...something unexpected could happen at any moment and change your life! Like our Han Soo-Bum, who wanted to die, but then he was pulled in that unique journey, which changed his view about things! The same goes for Lee Hyuk Soo: that meeting with Han Soo-Bum and their journey together changed him. At this point I'd say it's fate that brought them together! I felt so good after reading this, totally recommended!

I love Yoneda Kou's stories and I'm so frustrated because this one is discontinued. It had great potential! I love the setting, the characters and the way they interacted: there could have been an interesting development later on, as there are still many things to know. Anyway, I think the chapters available are worth reading...It's just that my heart hurts when such good stories are probably going to remain unfinished!
My God
5 for the first story: Religion // Cult // Drugs // Priest x Brainwashed Drug Addict who needs salvation. Despite having been confined and chained, Father Ross wants to save the young Cliff, who didn't believe in anything anymore and ultimately followed the wrong path because he was brainwashed and thought that was the right way. This story is so touching, cause sometimes you're in the dark even without knowing and you just need someone that gives you a hand to find light again. Compassionate Father Ross becomes the young boy's source of happiness, true happiness ➸ A quote that comes to mind: "Can you become someone's sun?" - Saiyuki Gaiden
