Mich's manga / #sports(5)

Re encounter between childhood friends Hyunho and Gyul. Gyul and Hyunho are now in uni but I’m completely different departments as Gyul is studying to become a teacher and Hyunho a pro soccer player. Hyunho does everything he can to try and keep Gyul’s attention but Gyul admits he has to work part times while going to school. Losing his parents in middle school made him mature a lot faster than other kids as he now had expenses to pay. His aunt took them in but treated them colder (he has a younger bro). But slowly but surely Gyul starts warming up Hyunho and they eventually date. In the end it’s a little hard because Gyul isn’t ready to come out and now his bf is in the spotlight and even goes overseas for the team that took him in. Whew honestly so many things happened but this is supposed to be a SMALL summary. Gyul decides to follow Hyunho 7yrs later (yes times FAST-FORWARDED) to England because his teacher position allows him and encourages to learn other languages and cultures etc. Gyul’s bro knows they’re dating and seungyo knows but Hyunho’s parents are said to not know (according to their POV) yea happy endingggg. As the author said I also wish it had been longer and had gotten to see the scenes she mentioned she wanted to show but alas we weren’t able to BUT at least we got to see them together in London in a little short side story. The ending did seem to be fast paced all of a sudden but the story was still good. I also liked the art

Ahhh 3 of em were in the one before this one so I’m kinda sad it wasn’t 11 chapters of new content but some is definitely better than none. Kiyotake and udou were kind of an odd pair tbh. Udou stole his girl in hs and basically said it was because he was jealous of her. Somehow after 3 yrs of being pissed about kiyotake forgives him when he confesses AND decides they’re dating. I hope udou decides to talk to him about how he feels inferior to kiyotake’s “ideal girl”. Also rape in the beginning 0,0 when udou rode him while he was drunk. But I meannn it was toxic but ended good ig ;*

Ehhh it’s more like a 3.5 not 4 ok nvm I’m changing the 4 stars to 3. So the beginning of each ch was like a preview of what was gonna happen near the end of the ch. that was ok but spoiled it. Also the ending??? All of a sudden everything’s ok? Dude (Kang) got over all his problems and accepted being with Junho just like that?!? Not only that but JUNHO was ok with ending happily with his rapist?!? Like I swear Junho got lw brainwashed and he’s accepting kang as a form of protection unconsciously. Like cool they ended up together but at the same time it’s like wait... no it’s not. I wanted to see kang jealous. I also kinda wanted blue hair (Junho) with blue hair with piercings (idk if they ever actually gave his name or just the “crazy blue” nickname the swim team gave him. It was never truly explained what was up with him. So he was only close to kang to get intel off of him orrrr. Also I’m guessing his parents are off dirty money since he said even bad guys have ethics but the chairman doesn’t so that’s why he and his family wanted to take him down. Also what happened to the bff in the end (Jihoon). Like they showed him getting out but where was he injured. So yea abrupt ending. Just tied things off and left plot holes. The art was real nice thoe so not much to complain there. Just that they’d go from looking all old and grown up in one panel and then somehow look like they could still be in hs or middle school when they’re already in their 20’s well at least kang is (22). I wish there esas some side stories to at least mend it a little.
