god, jumal’s skill with panel work and building tension is so masterful. the way she conveyed the depth of what happened without outright showing it is rarely seen in all types of media, especially manhwa, which does have a habit of romanticising and glorifying abuse. what irks me is that here you have an amazing storyteller who is using her work to explore themes of abuse and guilt and their cyclical nature and some individuals are going “eeeww why did this have to happen” like be so fr rn. go back to reading campus romance lmao. i’m glad issues like these are being handled well and not just thrown in as another cheap setting.
