well shit's manga / #Beautiful Art(2)

King's Maker

Ongoing | KANG Ji Young | 2017 released

Bro where do i even start.... like from start to now, the art and storyline has been so so fucking consistent even the colouring. The narration?? Absolutely beautiful AND THE PANELS?? Good lord the panels makes it ten times better i absolutely Adore this story. Im actually planning on buying the physical version honesrly its just That good?? Plot wise its dark especially in s1 but i can definitely see the authors steadily making it even darker in s2. They did say they find the human studies fascinating so im not surprised if theyre gonna tackle the issue of drug abuse. Im dreading it thought bc im gonna be depressed lmao Shin and wolfgang in this story are well written characters. I love LOVE how they trust each other and how they stand on equal footing. Wolfgang respects shin just as he did when he was 13 and so did shin. They clearly love eachother so much but bc their original plan is for the sake of the kingdom, they have to set aside their feelings :( and that sucks. Shin definitely realised his feelings for wolfgang yet despite that he still prioritise the country first and wants wolfgang to secure his throne through marriage. It sucks but seeing the shit and mess the previous tyrant left behind, i can see why. They just love and adore each other so much. They also love the kingdom. And since its in historical setting, its so hard to expect what will come next and how the authors will give them their endgame... i hope its a happy ending... i just really want them to be happy :((( ANOTHER THING that i would like to note is how wolfgang doesnt KNOW how DEVOTED shin is towards him. Hes like this beacon of hope and light for shin and i can see why shin takes every responsibility to protect him and govern the country. To the point of not even wanting wolfgang “sullying” his hands :(( he absolutely reveres him so.... god i dont think even shin realises just how much he loves wolfgang. Yea he realised that he yearns and loves him but to That Extent.. god.. and i bet wolfgang would do the same too.. THEY JUST LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH BRO.. Also shin being so hard on himself... i really hope we get to see him have closure and be at peace with his unresolved trauma... he deserves the world :(( IM JUST SAD FOR SEASON 2 MAN

Gorgeous art!! i enjoy the pacing and characters so much. I love how fleeting everything felt, also i just love how natural it was for them to fall for each other, turner fell for benny bc of how beautiful and endearing he is while benny fell for turner bc of his kindness and passion for his craft :( i just love how gentle, trusting and sweet their relationship is. The way they fell into rhythm in their routine is so adorable too aa i love simple domestic stories like this :( The art style is such a delight too it suits the mood of the story a lot aaa if i were to put an ost for this manga, it’d be The Image Of Tranquility from akagami no shirayukihime.. just sweet magical and lovely
