SaltySugar's manga / #Dark Ambience(23)

rating between 1-2 star, can't decide (complete) - 12/20/20 the story is....mediocre. forgettable. Jiwoon is supposed to be this skilled assassin but we never see his skills....and he is really dumb for someone who's lived their whole life under a mob boss. Soohan is this mute guy, but that soon no longer becomes an issue once he meets Jiwoon. This is never explained. They fall in love really quickly and really inexplicably. They run away from the mob and the story introduces a whole slew of new plot points: can Jiwoon live away from the mob? Will Soohan turn into another Yoonshik with his possessiveness? Will they get found out? What happened to the mob anyways? How will Jiwoon live from now on? Will this delicate relationship survive? And then the story ends right there. It's possible it got axed, but there wasn't a lot going for it anyways. I do wish the character relationships were deeper. For all the nice art and mobster drama, the emotions felt quite shallow. I didn't really feel either Jiwoon or Soohan's trauma because they didn't talk about them a whole lot and when they did, it didn't come up in the story again. Nice art, meh story.

37.6 - complete 2/2/21 The story took some time to get into. The story was interest, but to be honest, for most of the story, I didn't like the uke. He was a coward and a slut. I'm glad he change and they had a happy ending, but a part of me which the seme found someone and the uke continue to suffer. I'm also kind of dissatisfied that the seme forgave the uke so fast (the uke ran away and left seme to die when they were 14).

52 complete - 1/25/21 It took me a while to start and get into it.

Chapter 27 - Complete 9/4/2022 I generally really enjoy this type of genre, but the story is just okay. The only part that I find to most enjoyable about this story is the backstory of the professor and Glen which helps me to understand why they were so obsess with him. The rest of the story was quite boring.
