***I SAY VERY SLIGHT SPOILERS BUT THEY DON'T REALLY SPOIL TOO MUCH OF THE PLOT OF ANYTHING, if less spoilers wanted, read the first two paragraphs after this only***

I remember when no home came out with only a few chapters, I also remember the day that it ended and how I also wrote here when that happened. My first reading was fragmented as I had to wait for it to be uploaded each week, even so, the emotional depth of the manhua never failed to reach me.
Now, over a year later, I finally sat down and reread this masterpiece, and I am so glad I did. I can decidedly say that this manhua changed something in me, the grief and growth of each character, especially Haejoon in his last arc compared to the first, just shaped a lot of how I view the world and others around me.
This piece of media genuinely deserves so much love. Lately, there are little manhua that consistently tackle complexity in its characters in such a thorough way. The author's choices in each character really shown through. In Haejoon's case, it felt incredibly real that he continued to struggle with his childhood experiences and his trauma from losing his mom. I also thought that the contrast of him from the beginning and end, as well as him choosing to move forwards at the end was also so well done. In particular, I liked that even though he grew and progressed, sometimes he still went back to old habits or mindsets, it just was really realistic. Meanwhile, Enhyung honestly deserved the world, he never failed to make me sad, mad, and happy in this manhua. The fact that it took him basically the entire story to get past some of his habits and how that tied into his backstory (at home and running away) was too good. The entire relationship between these two main characters and how that advanced was simply handled amazingly. In the final chapter where Enhyung says "have a nice day" and Haejoon smiles/laughs and says "you too!" gave me such a happy, indescribable feeling... Additionally, I love all our side main characters! I really liked how they interacted with each other and how they had such different yet compelling problems and backstories compared to the main two. When they all became a little friend group towards the end and were all happy it healed something in me. Special mention to Juwan!!! He is just so caring! When he expressed to Hara that he never felt so deep for a friendship (for Haejoon) before her and was talking about a and b and what to do, it was both so funny and so relatable to myself. I admire his courage and care for Haejoon and Juwan and how he approached caring for each of them.
Sorry for writing too much but I hope that anyone who finished or is interested in starting no home relates to me in thinking that it is entirely a masterpiece! Wanan did an exceptional job writing this story and I am so grateful they did!!! Anyways, homeless/no home is the best thing ever!!! infinity/10 ヾ(☆▽☆)
