They are SO good at storywriting to focus on emotions/tugging at readers’ hearts in my opinion and I really want there to be more of a resolution than the Rawls (though admittedly I appreciate that ending as well)
I resisted 3 WHOLE YEARS starting this, I normally never do but I KNEW SAMK X Fujoking would deliver. I binged almost all of this last month, and finishing it all in one go makes me believe that patience is truly a virtue. So good!
Also for anyone who was wondering what chapter the acting scene was referenced, it was in Chapter 66. There are so many stories nowadays that while amazing, it can be hard to remember moments, but this was something that really stuck with me and I really enjoyed having the themes of this story get tied up in the way it did in the last panels
I said what I said. It’s SO beautifully drawn, SO lovingly planned, SO warmly written. I could go on and on. I never ever want this to end. I wish I had the whimsy and confidence of these two
I love the story telling. This is a peak example of how to tell stories with important and serious themes without making it feel like weighing characters and readers down with trauma. The related themes of family, abandonment, loneliness, hurt, all combined in an often neglected and left behind community intersecting with seniors and rural as well as prejudice in conservative societies (rural/Korea) are great. I’ve loved many rural based stories I’ve read recently but this feels closer to reality.
This is my holy grail. It doesnt matter if there are any mistakes to me, because the storytelling, the art, the way hurt and longing and love and hope are depicted in this are simply my favorite out of anything I’ve read here.
I just reread this and I have to agree with you. The angst and longing was so sweetly painful, and their love for each other was so well articulated thru their facial expressions. Ten years. The what if always comes to mind to think of CS have found and read his journal in time. But then, we would not have this beautiful story.
This is SOOOO good does anyone have recommendations for plot first ideally long form bl manhattan/manhua/manga? I need PLEASE
Unbreakable Master is a good read if you haven't read it already. It's got a pretty good plot and a lot of chapters.
try "choose your heroes carefully"
Naho’s insecurities and transformation from self confident cutie to insecure mess is really sad I’m ngl, it was also super realistic of growing up in a really sad way. Also, thank you hirai.joke for translating - your improvement over 4 days/4 chapters is incredible, and thank you for your good intent and notes clarifying. Youre doing great work
I NEED THIS BACK IN MY LIFE WITH UPDATES THIS IS SO CUTIEFUL AND BRILLIANT
i hope the team realizes how much all of us readers appreciate the quality translations and regular updates fir this amazing series. you all are doing amazing work
Everyone who enjoyed this - it is a bit rushed in some ways, but the original novel continues a bit and has side stories. It doesn’t go TOO much into details with the main plot and is also somewhat short feeling, but if the artist and author want to keep going there’s material! (No baby unfortunately if they keep with the recessive = no baby)
