yeaahhhh this was the roughest part of the novel and i genuinely hope they breeze through it as quickly as possible.
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.

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

This is probably up there for one of the most complicated recommendations i can give. Many people in the replies express complete bafflement over how anyone can think this manga is good outside of a rape fetish, and tbh I think that’s understandable.
Your mileage with this one will vary depending on your ability to separate depictions of assault in media from their reality. For some, that’s impossible, for the rest? This is very good and i rec.

yeah ok this is pretty much air tight and perfect. Every side couple is lovely, the main couple is wonderful and the philosophical core is really thoughtful and genuinely insightful. Lovely.
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.
