There's probably quite a few but two stand out to me.
- the choice to not show their faces at all in the break up dialogue. I know this is the scene that happened in chapter 1, but if you had to read this week to week, the escalation is much more of a surprise to us. Dohoon sounds like he is talking calmly. Maybe his face betrays this.
- during the assault we thankfully don't see, all of the screaming is faded out. And dohoon's speech bubbles are in focus. The speech bubbles appear calm. Appear reasonable. And the pain of the bottom doesn't matter. It kind of makes this part of the chapter from dohoon's point of view. With the way dohoon asks Juwon to think of high school, it's clear season 2 will be the flashback, but I wonder if a lot of it will also be mostly in dohoon's point of view.
I guess I will see in a few minutes.
we actually do see the assault in chapter 1!
Yes, for a few panels. It's the main downside for sure.
It was actually completely unnecessary. Unfortunately I think they wanted to capitalize on the shock value to get readers. But the art and storyline does well enough that it didn't need that.
Or maybe they wanted to chase off faint hearts ahead of time.
We all knew dohoon was bat shit. But to see actually proof in front of us and still doubt it? Even I am gaslit because Yuwon's doubts made me start doubting him. The whole chapter is the visual representation of gaslighting. Well done artist!
This chapter was done incredibly. Because the comic already blurs reality and imagination by not changing panel design, I have no idea if that kids head is in the planter. Like I can assume that was a fantasy. But I also can understand in this awful situation that Yuwon would not turn on Duhoon. And would just pretend that it didn't happen.
I don't even want to know if if really happened or not at least not yet.
Last panel? Creepy af. The black background around panels? Must be intentional to keep this dreary. Yeah the smut is phenomenal. But I don't feel good about it. That aura of crazy around the top is just dripping nearly Everytime he engages with Yuwon.
queen chan youre on a readinh marathon i see
The black background could also be because the story is a flashback
I don't think so. The whole of chapter 22 is a sex scene.
So?
You said that it may also be because flashback. I'm saying the chapter wasn't a flashback.
ohhh I meant the whole entire story is a flashback
Oh.... I guess it is....
That makes the inception moments even more confusing.
I like the artistic choice of going from panel of holding coffee cup to a fantasy of the other dude jerking off. "No preamble of wait is this happening now." Or hazy dream panel. Just straight in.
It's strangely impressive and jarring.
Damn. Did the artist read "Tickle his Pickle" to find all the different ways to draw this?
The fuck kind of company is this? I have yet to see this much bullying at a company level in a manga or yaoi.
Remember pervs, don't butt chug alcohol. You get drunker faster, but the alcohol content will overwhelm your liver and can cause alcohol poisoning faster.
One of the few times I'm disappointed where the author didn't give us a break down of everything that happened in season 1. I guess I'll have to wait until the series is over
