moody_bish's manga / #trauma(15)

tbh, i didnt like how passive chiwoo was until i understood why he seemed incapable of taking action. although i admit, i expected too much from him. poor boy, he suffered from Jihyun's twisted expression of love. thus, im so happy whenever Kyujin appears and saves Chiwoo from breaking down under Jihyun's pressure. also, I'm glad that it ended this way. no, i dont want to ship chiwoo with jihyun because the latter is filled with hatred and violence. he isnt fit for any romantic relationship at all. but a "what if" situation could work for me because if Chiwoo confronted Jihyun's feelings then it could habe changed their future even just a little. Im happy for Chiwoo and Kyujin. Just like Chiwoo, i also hope that thoigh therenare acts that are unforgivable, Jihyun could redeem himself and grow to be a better person than his father. im just glad Jihyun still has a big brother looking out for him.

Fun to write. Scarring to read. Traumatic trigger. I know I shouldn’t have completed it nor did I dare to read it. But I thought I was already fine and this could end in a way that Haruki could break free and live a life away from Hikaru. But why? Why does it have to end like this? I can’t even fully reject nor deny this possibility because I know how much of it could truly happen... how binding it is and how apathetic response lead to more drastic choices like Haruki tempting Hikaru. As much as I’m glad that Hanabasu doesn’t have to deal with a dreadful burden, his actions have pushed Haruki to fall deeper. This is messed up and I’d rather have not fucking read it. But I already did so I’ll just bury it in my memories.

The art makes it more uncomfortable. It makes the problems mundane. It doesn't feel like a thriller because it looks more of a fluffy and wholesome manhwa. However, I see that as it's ironic charm. It's easier to ignore the depth of the problem when the art makes everything feel light. That's why it feels anti-climatic but this is indeed an uncomfortable story.

For one thing, the art is phenomenal. The plot is dragging and is mostly dialogue. It's frustrating and tends to victim blame. It has family issues and foreboding obsessive-possessive traits that endagers life. Personally, I feel like the characters blab on and on redundantly which makes the art fade in the background even if its beautiful. The overall plot is great though. It gives you a healthy premature end where the MC is freed from a potentially more toxic relationship.

Acid mightve fit all the drama for the first couple. And would make rotten apples make sense. Too bad the trauma hit too suddenly for the third couple, sort of convenient instead of making sense. The second couple really outsold "im straight but pining for a man" lewl.

Imagine setting up a cliche trope then breaking it with this realistic honesty... The type that you can tremble and feel all weak but still say the words you've been wanting to say. It's the sort to show how much you can really love someone to the point of facing your fears in front of someone who bluntly rejected you...because this time, you want to fight for someone you love and for yourself, too.

Had the time of my life! I enjoy the consistency of the plot and how it circles back to where it started. The last translator is right, fiction that entails toxic relationship must be kept as is. There is nothing good from wishing to have the same. These two are broken and can only heal together. They are aware of their crimes against each other and the holes they must work on to fill. I enjoy the quiet panels because the artists are expressive with their characters. The ending was predictable but refreshing and satisfying. I enjoyed everything about this and how nonromanticized it is.

The story has a weak start, a confusing middle, but a well-enough ending. The professor becomes a distasteful character once you've sorted the whole premise. Akira and Yusanao are both Ozawas. Akira, the plain looking guy but with more social skills helps the good-looking virgin, Yusanao, to get a girlfriend. One night, Akira teaches Yusanao an experience Yusanao couldn't forget and pursued Akira. However, Akira has a complicated past which makes him hesitant to pursue a romantic relationship with anyone.

Reading Kan's story in order will prove that he deserves that second chance and he has served his sentence in his own mind prison. Shuuna is his much needed support and parole. You can't change my mind.

Let these broken souls be complete because I know I broke in just a few panels of realizing whst caused Asahi's memory loss and who Yuu was.
