I don’t understand why some of you guys are just telling Han to drop it because of so many hiatuses & have someone else pick up the manga.
I’d like to see you guys try to draw a manga from a NOVEL SPECIFICALLY, using many details, checking in with the author of the novel, having deadlines due, get extreme hate because your artstyle ended up changing, receiving backlash for the story’s plot considering you never made it, and to top it all off with personal life issues + mental health issues.
Let’s all be grateful that we have someone TRYING their best despite all of the issues. Even then, if you guys don’t want to wait, READ THE NOVEL!! You’ve already got a visualization of Taekjoo and Zhenya, so use it to visualize as your reading the novel!!!
Stay safe Han, and recover as best as you can!! Take your time, we’ll wait for you!! Fighting!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Honestly…
Rape is never a light topic at all. I feel like it’s so normalized now that some people just.. seem to be fine with it. Nothing’s okay about it. It really all depends on how the authors tie it altogether. I mean, sure, happy ending, whatever.
Yet lately it’s been so normalized to just.. let the victim get together with their rapist and act like nothing happened??? Since Passion is also from a novel, the ending for Passion itself is kind of disappointing in my opinion. In my opinion, reading the whole series is better as it is, even though there are some other fucked up couples like Christopher and whatever the other name was (I think Richard???), in the novel there’s more depth. More details..
So honestly guys it’s better to just read the novel. I friggin hate Ilay, so let’s all bomb him and take Taeui away from him for now. (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸
Zhenya will start getting reallll violent. Assaulting Taekjoo, & what not. He’s going to also tattoo Taekjoo with, if I remember correctly, the same bird on Zhenya’s chest OR Zhenya’s name. One of the two. This was to show “ownership” between Zhenya & Taekjoo.
After that shit show, Olga made up a plan. Olga was going to leave, but she was also going to take Taekjoo along. (Keep in mind, she’s also the sane one out of the whole Bogdanov family.) So, the two ran up to the helicopter, just like Olga arrived from it, but just taking Taekjoo along. Zhenya catches up, holding the same rifle he almost shot Taekjoo with.
This leads to a standoff between the two. Taekjoo decided to take Olga into hostage, holding her at “gunpoint”, and using her as a shield. Zhenya could’ve shot both of them anyway, but shooting Olga was risky, since she’s his sister. Yet Zhenya also couldn’t bring himself to shoot Taekjoo!! So Zhenya put down the rifle and let them go on the helicopter. When Olga & Taekjoo looked down, Olga pointed out that his expression was extremely different. Not angry, but devastated, specifically saying like a “hurt child.”
This might mark the end of the season possibly, but knowing that Han just came back from his hiatus, I don’t know if it’ll be ending that way.. No pressure to our Han, he’s working hard to give us this novel drawn and delivered!!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
(When I read the novel, I remembered this part so specifically with the running away, so I thought it’d be like the ending of the season, which would be a really good spot.)
Unfortunately my websites got blacklisted I’m so sorrriii, this is the only website I found, but you have to pay for premium for the rest of the chapters. It gets far into the novel thooo (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Yesss!!
Soooo, later on in the side stories (if I’m remembering correctly, I’m double checking rn as I type thisss!!), Zhenya’s birthday is coming up. Keep in mind this is now during their romantic relationship. Taekjoo asks Zhenya what he wants for his birthday, saying he’ll do anything!! Soo..
Zhenya asks Taekjoo to get a tattoo! Taekjoo is still an agent though, so they’re forbidden to get any tattoos. Taekjoo bypasses that by getting the tattoo on his inner thigh. Zhenya, this time, carefully tattoos Taekjoo himself, unlike how he violently tattooed Taekjoo earlier in the chapters.. He writes carefully, “My Anastasia” in Russian. (Моя Анастасия)
Zhenya’s such a romantic now.. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
This is one of the best stories I’ve read, AND WE’RE GETTING A GIRL AAAAAAAHHH!!! Yet, I don’t know if you guys noticed;
Before our potato Taesun got pregnant, he was quite fit. Yet after he became pregnant, and gave birth, the author went as far as showing the baby bump AND showing how his body also changed after giving birth!!
Usually when BL bottoms give birth, they tend to still be “fit”. With Taesun though, you can see how his abdominal muscles are stretched out (hence, no abs), which is an actual effect on the human body due to pregnancy!! Sorry I just thought this was an interesting detail :3








I friggin love this chapter. Especially when Ilay tells Taeui that he genuinely was going to kill him.
It shows how Ilay really doesn’t want to kill Taeui at all. It’s like he’s his lifeline in a way.? (Idk how to put it in better words.) IF Ilay actually did kill Taeui, Ilay wouldn’t have lasted. He would have killed himself right after, because he would’ve regretted all of it. (Refer back to the first time Taeui ran away and Ilay was having dreams while in the detention center.)
From here on out though, I’d say after this, they’ve developed quite a cute relationship. In the series, there was a section full of side stories. Ugh they’re so friggin cute ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ !!!
Sorry I yap a lot but Yuuji (the author of the Passion series) has done an excellent job at creating this masterpiece! Kangjak has done a nice job adapting it, and I love seeing the art style progress throughout the story. KANGJAK PLEASEEEE ADAPT SOME SIDE STORIESSS!! (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
