This is so much more than your average BL manhwa for me...Really it has touched me deeply and each new chapter seems to dig even deeper...The layers, the complexity of it all and the tragically poetic writing...All the love stories that feel so full of longing yet destined to remain unblossomed...Plus I really feel for them and their struggle for freedom when it comes to those challenging times in history.
Btw I truly recommend this and regret putting it off for so long just because of the SE...But guys it's really so worth it and as much as there is sadness and melancholy lingering throughout, they’re portrayed in a way that does not stifle you.
"So is it fun for you? Secretly eating the food that isn't yours?" OH MY ROSAAA
Fr though If I was that gardener after this I would just straight up quit and run out of there lmaoo But she was really so out of line touching a sleeping person like that...
I think our Rosa's possessiveness is finally picking through and also her curiosity and interest to play with him and ruin him like that bunny of hers...Still curious about her mother's real intentions though and Yeonwu's too lol Cause by the looks of it Yeonwu is REALLY interested in our Rosa... Constantly trying to raffle her feathers and get her attention. Plus I am certain he was awake...Him being a call boy truly shows how much of an expert he is at seducing lol Do not expect any innocence he has probs seen it all at the host club...
Btw loved seeing the FWB friend of Rosa again >< He is one sexy guy and seems to be into some interesting stuff looking at that costume lmaoo Bet he would love to see Rosa in it...
Is this the prequel or the sequel??
Of what? Is there something similar?
There is also Dark Moon
Wow! Thanks!! Will go read that now!
TJ is still tanned about the same level with the og artstyle if you check chapter 1... If anything it's just that in the new art they have added better shading and contrast with the lighting. The biggest change for me it's honestly the features that are somewhat different yet still familiar but you can't call them ugly. It's different but still nice. I am already used to it tbh.
And about the plot...Again, it was known that this manhwa would not be rainbows & sunshines even from the 1st season and that it would later on delve into even darker and toxic territory...It's not the first or last BL to do have these type of scenes either and I mean some very well known ones. If you can't handle it that's totally fine! You can always just drop it and find something else to read!
If only we can pin a comment.
Yeah this is the first ive seen where the art got a big upgrade and they still look like themselves. Plus Im not sure why people thought it wouldnt be dark/toxic. First thing the ML did when he appeared is murder someone
his nipples are paler and more reddish (feels embarrassing to say goddamnit)
he’s definitely paler. god forbid people get upset when they find a character who’s not white as a ghost and get upset when the author starts whitewashing them it really is that deep, and we all loved his tan. i’ll def be dropping this dumbass rape fest anyways. yall are sick if you enjoy reading zhenya constantly rape taekjoo
Her saying her mother likes the same things she does(or the other way around if we go by age lmao) was quite the eye opener!! So her mother must really do all this with Yeonwu with some other intentions in mind right?? Cause why would you bring a guy your daughter's age who is also her type inside your house and say you'll marry him?? Having fun outside and paying his debt for him is one thing, but actually bringing him in your home especially with his background and a young daughter?! Like what kinda experiment does she want to conduct??
Plus the symbolic scene of Rosa dressing him up being compared to how she would dress up her bunny gifted by her mother...Truly a boytoy that's what he is...
And finally we got some extra info about Yeonwu's background...Since he used to be a call boy with debt ain't no way he is as innocent as he presents himself!! He must have seen and experienced most of things out there in that host club AND his actions around Rosa are truly questionable and somewhat irritating!! It's as if he is intentionally trying to ruffle her feathers and get reactions out of her while trying to appear innocent and friendly...Which makes me want to see Rosa mess him up even more!! The only annoying part is that he might even enjoy it and be waiting for exactly that lmao
And yes this is definitely NOT his first time meeting her and wants smth from her!!
Rosa and her fwb guy are truly the most normal ones in this story lol
With all that being said I am still VERY much invested in this ><
She almost sounded as if she was setting them up with eo lmao Saying to your daughter to help dress him up in your stead cause she knows what she would like anyway it's crazy work...Like Rosa is so right calling him her mom's boytoy and reacting the way she has...And don't get me started with Yeonwu...Whatever sob story he got going it ain't convincing me at all, he looks like he is hiding secrets of his own! Other way it wouldn't be a stretch to say our Rosa seems to be the most normal member of this "family" and so I don't care what she will be doing to Yeonwu later or how her mom acts cause they both kinda had it coming!
Ngl rosa wanting to smack the ml is really understandable and I agreed that Rosa reaction is the most normal so far
This story was so well paced and absolutely captivating that I couldn’t put it down! I ended up finishing it by staying up late into the night because of how invested I was.
I especially loved the character development for most of our main characters, it really made their journeys feel meaningful and earned. The final chapter was beautifully done with such a heartfelt way to bring everything full circle and end on an emotional note.
I also appreciated that the ending leaves room for potential side stories (which I’d definitely love to see^^).
In the end, Mag and Jack truly felt fated for each other. Their meeting, their healing, and the way they helped each other rediscover the will to live was truly moving and perfectly written.
I'm so glad I finally got to read and finish this manga! It was such a beautifully written story, and I truly savored every moment of it. I absolutely loved both couples and the different kinds of love they portrayed to us.
Alta and Ile’s love felt so desperate and almost poetic, it almost reminded me of Romeo and Juliet but only this time they actually got their happy ending.
As for the second couple I’m honestly so grateful we got those extra chapters! It was clear there was something deeper between the prince and Slen and I’m so glad we got to see that getting explored in more detail!
I can't believe I ended up finishing this in one go late into the night...I guess that's a way to show how addicting this manga is!
It has such a melancholic vibe to it that kinda makes me worry for the ending but none the less it's very beautifully written...It kind of reminded me of peter pan...This manhwa writer sure has a brilliant mind!
Just completed this and I have no words to express the impact this manhwa had on me...I literally bawled multiple times while reading and was left in awe even more times by it's beautifully written and thoughtful dialogues/monologues...This is definitely a must read people!
Like there are barely any chapters out and yet we already have 71 pages of comments lmaoo This really proves just how addictive this manhwa is! The unique and twisted theme combined with the spectacular art makes for a wonderful combination indeed~ (≧∀≦)
And omg what a chapter this was...I will have to re-read this at least once before collecting my thoughts lol The plot is thickening and Rosa's "awakening" is soon uproaching ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
