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.
This reminds me a lot of the Scholomance series tbh, very cool ‘nothing can be trusted and nothing can be predicted’ type of sci fi fantasy
getting nasty in the theatre after watching Port Authority is kind of an insane thought i’m ngl. I’d fr be like I can’t do this dude LMAO
Sorry I can’t stop imagining them watching the weird cishet white guy fanfic abt ballroom movie and getting horny. My whole face is scrunching up I can’t do this during pride month.
Someone else also said they went to a holocaust museum like… what’s up with the vibe on these dates… you have time to think abt sex? people died here……
i think since its the ml’s first time in Germany jiho wants to show him around the country in general not everything is a date
Will these scanners be shot if they don’t upload first or what? What is done well once is done forever
ahahaha oh mannn this upcoming bit is the part of the novel i wasn’t looking forward to lol
Aw this poor guy, I love a good ‘oh fuck, this stupid straight(?) man is going to break my heart isn’t he’ story
I always end up thinking this but this is just a very -solid- manhwa. Like the art is solid, story is solid, pacing is solid, dialogue is solid, it’s not groundbreaking different but it’s a really good delivery of the classic tropes. I appreciate it for how airtight and well crafted it is.
yeaahhhh this was the roughest part of the novel and i genuinely hope they breeze through it as quickly as possible.
