God, this manhwa really whips you around tonally bc this is some grown-up ass shit for high schoolers to be dealing with. Wdym illegal assisted suicide per the request of a beloved bedridden mentor? He should be playing fortnite or smth.
Like idk they don’t act like high schoolers or look like high schoolers and that’s whatever, it’s not great but it’s a kitschy staple of the genre and im used to it. It’s not even How Serious it is bc a school manhwa turning into an episode of SVU happens all the time, it’s how bizarre it is that a supposed minor is being put in a situation where he has to grapple with the ethics of euthanasia???
Themes of DV or abuse and neglect fit bc that’s something that a lot of kids actually have to grapple with, same with poverty and homophobia, but *self-determination and becoming an executioner bc you believe in a persons right to die instead of withstand pallative care*?
Like cmon man it’s an interesting thread and i think it’s well written but it’s so jarring to see them back in HIGH SCHOOL in the next panel.
assisted suicide this cracked me tf up i honestly thought the twist was gonna be that the ml was an undercover cop or smt bc he looks sooo much older than his age
lil bro should be in roblox fr
FURTHERMORE he’s in some of these shots in chinos, dress shoes and a trenchcoat like… this is a middle schooler? A middle schooler dressed like this voluntarily. Can you imagine being out and about and seeing a 14 year old walking around dressed like that.
yeaahhhh this was the roughest part of the novel and i genuinely hope they breeze through it as quickly as possible.
