Please, before you leave a hate comment, check the author's N@ver profile where you can read their thoughts about this work. They clarified that this is a growth story above anything else, and the final couples are not obvious from the start. They said that the series is about the 3 girls and how they develop as people, and asked the readers to look at the plot with an open mind. That said I think Suhyun won't end up with Short-Da. They are only friends, they have zero romantic chemistry. Same with Suhyun and pretty Da. The author said this is not a romance work first, though I personally like the relationship between Suhyun and Boyoung, even it goes nowhere. I'm here to see how the girls will grow as people

I've read up until ch58, and ugh.. first of all, I hope the translator won't be discouraged by my comment, they've done an amazing job with this series, and I'm thankful for their hard work. But the story.. I won't spoil anything major, but chapter 57 is the cringiest chapter I've ever read. If you guys reach it, you'll know what I'm talking about.

So back to the plot, it's basically just misery p@rn. Every single male character either falls in love with the mc, or tries to SA her. She can never get out of bad situations on her own until somebody saves her. And later she even gets mad at everyone who tries to help her, except for Rai, who I usually call 'Temu Tamaki'. The reason for that is because he's what you get if you take away all the subtle complexity of Tamaki's character from Ouran. Rai has pretty much no personality or character introspection other than being the cringe flirty guy of the group, and his backstory is a few sentences about him being the son of a politician. In Ouran, Tamaki's trauma was explored through his way of trying to be the father figure of their friendgroup, and his fear of getting abandoned. It was done in a funny way because Ouran was a comedy, but the buildup was there and the conclusion was good. Rai helps Shinra because he's..bored? And aside from saving Shinra, what does he even do in the story? What does she even like about him? What does she even know about him? This non-existent dynamic makes their chemistry awkward and forced.

Shinra's role is literally a victim throughout the story. Every time she wants to start anew, some misfortune happens to her and she has to be saved. Not by the other guys, no, she only wants Rai to help her, even though the other 2 guys were always also there for her. I honestly think the plot could have done so much more about exploring her situation WITHOUT the romantic aspect. She falls for every person who helps her, but I still don't understand why she claims she's in love with Rai.

Like other people mentioned, Kanan is probably the best character in the story. He has a good backstory and he also has good chemistry with the mc built on similar past experiences. But it cannot be helped that the author seemingly hates him lol he's getting dragged over by a car and Shinra doesn't even care :D and wait until you reach ch 57, oh boy.. Also, Kanan was introduced as a thoughtful, mature guy, who even realized Shinra didn't want to be touched without consent. Ofc it only applies to Kanan because a few chapters later Rai grabs her hand and it's all romantic. At least make the poor girl's trauma consistent.. Or can we have one chapter without suffering or romance? I'm only reading this still because I invested time in it tbh

so update i just read ch 58 and I genuinely don't know where this story is going lol

I want to say, even if you read this story on this site, please subsribe to the official translation too and like the episodes, keep commenting under them. This is on English Webt@@n so it's totally free to support the creator there if you want this work to continue for a long time. Webt@@n tends to promote series more that have a high engagement and subscriber count, edits about this work on tiktok have more than 100k likes so a lot of readers have not yet subscribed to support the author.

Reading the comments here, I am absolutely disgusted. How can people not admit that it was a rape scene? He said multiple times that he didn't want to do it, there was no verbal consent at all. Also, the lack of research on anal sex is just sad, irl doing this sort of thing without any preparation would have only been extremely painful. Listen, I am an adult, I only came here to say this BUT even if your body reacts, it doesn't mean you enjoy something. "but he likes it cause he's a masochist" has to be the worst take when it comes to an abuse victim like the guy in this story. For gods sake, he's an abuse victim who gets raped and people are cheering for the rapist in the comment section. If this was a BL work, most readers would be outraged, but because the mc is a woman people are calling her a girlboss for being an abusive rapist. He only "likes" their dynamic because he doesn't know better, which is common for real life abuse victims. Let's not even mention the cover that depicts him in a humiliating position with his rapist literally stepping on his injured body. Disgusting.

I already disliked this author's other manga where one of the love interests was the girl's teacher, but in this series a man in his late 20s is romantically involved with a high schooler.. This is just wrong on so many levels, she could have been a college student at least

If you have the Webt@@n app, change the content language to French, you'll find the series on French Webt@@n. Subscribe to it, and like all the episodes, you can even leave comments, this way you're supporting the creator and they might be able to finish the story.

Big spoilers here

Nina loves Sett, she even told him in the latest chapter. She refers to Az as her first love, and he is important to her, but not as a lover. Again, pretty big spoilers here, but the important reason why we had to know who Nina loves is because that person has to kill her when her powers go out of control. So even if Nina loves Sett, their time together is limited.

Also, you can read this manga for free on the official Km@nga app (Kod@nsha's manga app). You can get points by scrolling through a given chapter each day, and you can also watch 3 ads. It doesn't take up much time and you can read anything on the app for free if you have the points or daily tickets. Finished series/some shounen titles can be mostly read with daily tickets. So you can support the author legally for free.

My favourite thing about this series was how Yona had to learn there's a world she doesn't know, that she has to fight for what she thinks is right, and that there's no easy answer to every problem. The manga starts with Suwon killing Yona's father, which completely breaks her. But instead of making Suwon into a one-note villain, the story (at least in the first part) presents him as a complex character who had every reason to kill the king, even if it meant betraying Yona's trust. It's a difficult situation because for Yona he is a "villain", but for the people who suffered under her father's rule he's a good king.

My problem with the manga comes in the sencond part. Yona has matured into a responsible person and she has people she can rely on, but suddenly every conflict is solved through talking, and Yona is always right. There are situations, especially in war, when common sense does not apply in real life, and there are leaders who cannot be reasoned with, which is why fighting is inevitable. However, in this manga, Yona always gets to choose the easy road that involves no bloodshed, which suddenly makes Suwon seem like an incompetent ruler, even though he studied his whole life to become king and other characters also acknowledged his potential. Forget about experience, education and knowledge, turns out Yona was always destined to be queen, even though the story made it seem like she was happier travelling with Hak and the dragons, helping others. This will be a controversial opinion, but Suwon should have stayed king, and should have atoned to Yona by being a good ruler who helps the country. It would have been a much more complex and realistic ending, Yona becoming queen to me was cliche and the easy ending.

Great characters, interesting cases, good art - this manga has everything. The characters also have great dynamics with each other which leads to some very funny moments. I only wish there were more chapters.

I liked the first couple of chapters and I do think the manga had potential, but it quickly turns into a soap opera. I wouldn't recommend it as an adult
