This is a very cinematic manhwa. I haven't read anything like it... The panels look almost animated with the way it flows and is constructed. I can see that the author is a huge cinephile and their work is better for it!
Not your usual bl. This one has substance, for lack of a better word . I don't want to sound too pretentious but the subtle way it explores the themes of the story is amazing, so much to dissect and analyze.
Also helps that it has a pretty maso top (๑˃ ᴗ ˂)و
It seems that on the novel it is based on, the mc is a pedophile (?) Like, he finds the younger ml to be attractive or rather kids to be more attractive... I haven't read the novel so I don't know how true that is but I'm sure it's on good authority... Man...
I don't mind age gap romance as long as it is handled well and there is no grooming involved ( since it's fiction) but now it's making me rethink reading this... Still, it does have one of the best panelling I have read in any manhwa. I feel like Peace of God aka Master Peace and this has a similar flow in terms of the way it's constructed. And the story is brutal but interesting to read. Still, I hope that aspect of the mc will not be carried over. I am conflicted but we will have to wait and see
