kissland's manga / #Student x Student(4)

Han Haneul ⬩ Dark blue-cyan hair, feminine appearance, long and pronounced eyelashes, piercings in the ear, expressive. The older one. Dajeong ⬩ Black short hair with wispy long bangs, heavy dark eyebags. The younger one. Soo Nana ⬩ Blondie with pigtails, Haneul’s close friend Han Hanuel is dating Dajeong, though the buildup of their relationship was gradual and throughout the book. Hanuel, in the beginning, had recently broken up with his girlfriend and actually met Dajeong in an alleyway, thinking that the other was purchasing drugs, when reality the situation was not like that at all. At first, Hanuel saw Dajeong as intimidating, but, after being in forced proximity due to them ending up at the same university film club, their relationship grows stronger. chapter 36: New club member (Haseong) seems to like Hanuel a lot, making odd comments about having a past lover that looked similar to him, and came out as bisexual. Nana warned Haneul that Haseong may have alternate intentions, and he's aware of that. Though, Dajeong sees the closeness between the two (Hanuel and Haseong) as normal/typical, as they are in the same department. It seems like Hanuel may be slightly uncomfortable with his connection with Haseong, like their closeness, as some passerbyers thinking that Haseong is a 'replacement' for Dajeong made him upset. The chapter ends off with Hanuel pinning Dajeong to a wall, presumably upset, with a dominating appearance. chapter 38: Hanuel keeps thinking that Haseong is in love with him, so when Haseong wants some time to talk to Hanuel, he’s mentally preparing on how to reject him. When Haesong confesses — this whole time he likes Dajeong?! Shocking

This story is so fucking stupid and idiotic, but it's entertaining enough that you keep on reading the chapters and keep smiling at the dumbass moments. The main love interest, the red hair guy, Yeo Chan-uk, is genuinely a dumbass. The trope is nerd x bully. Yeo Chan-uk is the 'top fighter' at their high school, and comes from a pretty wealthy background with a stepmother. Meanwhile, Han Yu-ri has parents in jailed but is also the top student in the school, known for being an otaku, and also gets bullied a lot. Yeo Chan-uk and Han Yu-ri get paired together as mentor/mentee because Yeo Chan-uk has horrible grades. Where the story is at Chapter 25: After university exams (CSAT), Han Yu-ri never saw Yeo Chan-uk again. It was like, afterwards, something odd happened. He would not answer calls or messages, and it just seemed like he just disappeared, his family moving away too. Meanwhile, Han Yu-ri went to university with only 2 friends, but he got super popular. He grew taller and lost his baby fat, so he's super popular at the university. One day, someone was confessing to Yu-ri very aggressively, but all of the sudden Yeo Chan-uk showed up out of nowhere. Then, Yeo Chan-uk gave Yu-ri a ring, and confessed that he was gone because he wasn't able to complete his CSAT due to a stomachache, left, trained in the mountains for 2 years, and came back with a handmade ring. So now they're together again.

I love this story so much. The romance and personalities that everyone have is so realistic in my point of view. Additionally, I like that the story did not end after Jae and Jihan got together. Instead, they grappled with making their relationship public and telling their parents. Chapter 50 is done, it felt very uncomplete, but at the same time, I'm satasfied. I never read non-rated R stories like these, so I thought it was a pleasent breath of fresh air. Jae's parents: They're really sweet. Jae's mother: Extremely attractive, and had a similar social affect like Jae himself. When her husband told her the suspicions of Jae and Jihan dating, she was in denial, wanting Jae to marry a beautiful girl and raise grandchildren. In Chapter 49, it's revealed that the mother is pregnant because she wasn't sure if she was going to get grandchildren (suspicion that Jae had a crush on Jihan?) Jae's father: Suspicious of Jae and Jihan's connection, then found out that they were dating, and tried to console his wife. Chapter 43: the parents are searching up what queer is. Gido Kim - [green hair] Jihan's closest friend, knows about the drama/kissing issue/feelings that Jae has with Jihan Joohyuk - [black hair bowl cut with black eyebags] Rude personality, acussed of making the fake Instagram account for Jae. Might've been the person that called Jihan "crippled". Hyunjoo - [black tied back short hair] Seoyoon - [light silverish hair] Yookung - Sees Jihan as pixelated <> Jae 'fake dating' with a girl <> Jihan finds a girl who sees Jae's face as pixelated -- Yookung <> Stargazing trip: Jae gets kidnapped and Jihan and Hyunjoo go find him. It's odd. They meet a red-haired man there, and the guy's only advice is to tell Jihan to get a new pair of glasses. After a lot of time at the stargazing place, Jihan really wonders if his glasses were really the problem, and he takes it off. He's stunned. He can finally see Jae's real face, and he's very attractive.| Chapter 33: Jae confesses at the end, saying that he has a crush on Jihan. But Jae says that he wants Jihan to think about it a lot and give the answer later. <> After stargazing: Jihan and Yookung find that the issue is the glasses, Jihan reflects on his crush a bit more, how Jae was only attracted to him because Jae treated him more differently than everyone else. Now he is conflicted, wishing that he never saw his face. Chapter 43/46: Jihan telling Jae everything, a mutual confession, and kiss Chapter 49: Jae is anxious at the baby announcement, thinking that a 19-year age gap is too much. Chapter 50: Jihan decides to tell Jae's father that they're dating, but Jae was one step ahead and already said so in advance.

Yeo Chaewoon ⬩ Grey/murky light brown-haired, dark brown eyes. 21 years old. Bae Juhan ⬩ Spiky black hair. Apparently done his ‘research’ on Chaewoon beforehand. May be a stalker.
