no home oh no home.... where do i even begin.... it has been years since i have read such a well written manga. i had doubts about starting it due to the artstyle, and thats why it has been hanging out in my "want to read" for more than a year. but oh my heavens. i was missing out on some true peak. this gave me back all the love i had for manhwas, love that through the year slowly began to fade, lost between 2 shitty isekai and another boring bl. The pacing of No Home is SOOO good, i cant think of a boring arc, and the introduction to backstory was soso well placed into the story, insane feat for a manhwa...... id get hooked for HOURS to no end, and even failed to complete some hw and studies i had to do.... oh well the writing is immaculate, little to no flaw. each character is so well thought and written, ESPECIALLY for a manhwa, where characters tend to be quite shallow and can easily act ooc. Especially Hanjoon and Eunyung, oh boy what do i have to say about those two. The constant anger Eunyung feels/repress during the whole serie is so well shown. He doesnt really yell unless provoked, his bitterness and jealousy are expressed in such a clever way, he feels real. I could go on and on about how clever his writing is, about how well the author handeled his backstory, teasing it through the serie just to reveal it at the right time. I could talk for hours about how well thought his expressions and vocabulary are (and im sure im missing out bits due to translation), about how each of his actions are so closely linked to his character. And Hanjoon too, the parallel yet disconnection between the two was such a pleasing topic to explore, the fact that Hanjoon just recently lost everything while Eunyung has never lived with something. The fact that its through this mutual pain that they got to get closer (as friends just like as enemies), and that they slowly changed the other for a better version of themselves. theyre not friends, theyre not lovers, they're a secret third thing i couldnt explain. Even the side characters are so entretaining, and well thought of. I thought the addiction of Jiwon in the duo was quite a great idea, someone who is very disconnected from traumatic experiences and that went to the dorm for a much more trivial reason. The way he reacts to events may have been annoying at first, but its very interesting to see someone whos more "ordinary" next to those two weirdos. He even ends by being quite the likeable character, simply a little innocent. If i have a few critics, its maybe toward Marie, Hara and Minju. They got introduced with their own full backstory, for it to not have been developped much more. If the author wanted to focus that much on eunyung and hanjoon, then i dont think it was the best decision so put so much enphasis on those characters for them to only have 1 arc. Also that scene with Juwan and Minju when they were kids ? it was a lot brushed off and not much explanation was given to their relationship, but oh well. given how bad i sobbed when i finished the story, i guess i can let that slide. anyways i cried a lot when it ended, love them sm all of them.........cant believe it ended........ cant believe that 5 days ago i didnt know shit about eunyung..........woah. sorry for the long topic lmaoo i love writting reviews (￣∇￣")
