Both story and the art is breathtaking. The artist managed to convey the sadness in ML eyes beautifully. It's a story about human's will to survive from an "outsider's" POV.
10/10 peak
I love the MC so much. He's not your pure, helpless MC that cries all the time. But that also makes him human. A bit flawed, selfish but also sensitive and an artist. You can see him slowly growing up and maturing. The novel is peak.
Spoiler in the defence of the MC: if my friend called me multiple times a day for years (to exclusively talk about dating issues), I would also not pick up the phone everytime. It doesn't make the MC a villain like so many comments suggest.
I love that it's making fun of the trope: millionaire top x debt ridden bottom.
MC knows what he wants and goes for it, however he's street smart not booksmart. He's so smart and stupid at the same time it's hilarious. ML knows this and his whole purpose is just to rage bait the MC.
Based on my favourite BL novel series about 3 "neighbours".
Similar to Stranger - a lonely man picks up a lost teenager from the streets.
