TITLE: Life, Us from the Line DESCRIPTION: two boys playing "the floor is lava" game everytime they go to school meet and their paths interwine forever.

tags: body swap, bullying, reencounter, character death, blackmail, rape ----- REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS ------ This wasn't a bad webtoon for a first time from the author. It had a lot of potential in the beginning--promising plot and interesting characters. But nearing the end, it worried me that there were little to no character development. I was loving the pace it was going but throughout chapter 40 I was so confused because it was nearing its end I still see no signs of majority of these characters developing. And so the ending massively disappointed me. I think the biggest flaw of this webcomic is how it handled its side characters. I was half-expecting for Han Jiwook to be redeemed because of the backstory provided. He gave a horrible first impression in the beginning of the series but as the story progressed, the author wrote him as if the audience were made to feel sympathy for him. And I did. I saw him as a redeemable character, which was why it felt shallow and empty when the story had its climax where they got back at Jiwook and left him like that. I guess I could say the same to the rest of the characters. Joohoon, Minjun, Hoon, and even the real Siwon. All had the potential. Maybe someone would say if these characters were explored further, it would have dragged the story further as well and I don't agree. Most of the side characters affected the plot heavily, especially Joohon and Jiwook so it became bland when they were handled like that. The main characters, well. They became so-so at the end as well. Not as bad as the side characters but it's just really frustrating finding out that Siwoon left Taemin for something so trivial. The build-up, however, was amazing. It really got me hooked in the beginning. The only problem I have really is the climax. I'm glad that it didn't follow the body swap trope where the goal was to get back to the original body in the end. It had a lot of enjoyable twists that made this webcomic unique on its own. Even if you wouldn't like the story, the art of this comic is really captivating. The gestures are all so smooth and I found myself saving a lot of panels for future references of the hands and poses. Overall my review is still 2.5/5 because the climax really did hurt the webcomic as a whole big time. Character development really does affect my whole perspective on a series. also not rly important but god i wished the original han siwon made more appearances bc im a sucker for characters like him TT it fucked me up that hes permanently dead AAAAAA

WOW...WOW!!!!!!!!!! god. I LOVE THIS. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH?????????? DEFINITELY A MUST READ AGAIN!!!!!!!!! THE ART. THE EMOTIONS. THE ANGST. EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! its the first time i gave five stars in an incest manga I LOVE IT SO MUCHHHHHHH

TAGS: obsession, replacement, psychological, twisted, rape, age gap, incest (uncle) grieving the death of his lover (and also sister..?) he's left to raise the son alone. his love later turns into obsession, until the son has no choice but to never leave him. reallyy love the focus on obsession of this manga TT i also love the replacement trope because i dont think he never truly loved the boy that way, it was always his mother that he sees. at least thats my take on it. the angst is rly good TT

COMMENT: i absolutely have no fucking words. this whole manga moved me and shook me to the core. at times i just found myself stopping after some reveals from the story and im left staring at nothing omg. i was really shocked to find this on mangago because ive been a huge fan of Tamekou-sensei in pixiv. i loved their illustrations for a long time and has been studying it for a while but i didnt even know they had BL mangas here SKDJJDJD im shocked bc not only are they amazing with art, but their story writing skills are top-notch too. this is my first read from them, i feel it would be worth it to check out their other works too if theyre this good!!!
