It happens. People grow apart. Some do, some don’t. While it’s sad, it shouldn’t be something you felt like it’s a taboo to even talk about with your partner. Plan for it, even, so if it ever happens you are prepared.
I reread season 1 and remember why I initially liked this webtoon. Maehwa was always direct in his actions and there was no ambiguity in whether he likes Jaewon, and the same was true for Jaewon.
Meanwhile the second couple… this push and pull mentality has been past its welcome. You can kiss and cuddle and have sex but you can’t date because one doesn’t like changes and the other doesn’t believe in forever? Absolutely no progress. One step forward, two steps back. Geez.
I just received book 1 and after reading it, some of the pieces finally clicked!
1- the Black Sea monsters can possess people. Remember the prisoner who surrendered himself to the sea and was possessed? Alt say his eyes turned black briefly. Which takes us to point 2…
2. The rich dude’s wife is possessed. She can turn her eyes black. But that means they can live among people, get married and birth babies! Which then takes us to point 3…
3. Alt’s father was one of those! It all makes sense. His father left when he was very young. His aunt says his mother was never married. The Black Sea doesn’t harm him because he’s one of them. After being rescued by Elva as a kid, he said the sea felt nostalgic. The prisoner, after being possessed, appeared to recognise Alt and kept saying “it’s you!”. The rich dude’s wife, when meeting Alt for the first time, said she knew his father and wished her child grow up to be like Alt. Because it’s also a child between a human and a possessed! Perhaps it’s also why the black ink recedes when he’s within close proximity.
If my partner can’t help feeling uneasy seeing me with someone, I would refrain from spending time privately with them. This is not your beloved childhood friend; that’s your boss! Your partner’s peace of mind should come first.
I get it that’s he’s young and inexperienced and it’s his first job so he’s navigating it (poorly), but damn it’s so frustrating.
101301, feel free to send me a PM if you need a Japanese QC/editor. I can’t be bothered translating but I’m happy to go through your machine translation. Thanks for picking up this series!
I actually watched the drama (which did a good job and stayed very loyal to the original), was impressed with the plot and decided to read the manga. This is so refreshing knowing it’s the same author with Pornographer series. A solid 9/10.
I need you to reach up and kiss that girl right here and now.
I stumbled upon gold. Men? Bonding over food? Touch of work politics? Superb story telling? Yes yes yes. Check me in pls.
How do I live on knowing there’s no more of MADK
YES PROGRESS (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Honestly Suou always makes my heart skip a beat, but Kohaku is someone I would fall hard for. She’s so cute. Oblivious and naive in a special way.
I want to read this…. But why is his hair like that??? Are they antennas???? He looks like a beetle I can’t unsee it
His father is a waste of oxygen, but can we agree that his mother is also a terrible parent? Is this just something lost in translation? Excuse ma’am, your teenage son is living in turbulence because you refuse to acknowledge that your husband is a walking POS and protect your children but you have the gall to call him selfish for being frustrated? And f-king compare him to his father? The same son who visited and took care of you all the time? W T F.
Did anyone stop and wonder what language have they all been speaking to each other? Manga logic ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I just found out that this series has been licensed in English! Book 1 and 2 (Zanzou) have been released, with book 3 (Yoiyoi) and 4 (Overlap) closely following.
From the toothbrushes it looks like they were living with their mum? Poor Mama, both of her children just suddenly disappeared like that D:
Hands down one of the best of best. Can’t wait for S4 (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Seryo literally confessed to him TWICE in chapter 7. First he said falling in love is not easy right after talking about how Yuzuru’s words impacted him, and damn Yuzuru thought it was about Shino??? Then he said he *like* Yuzuru for who he is! My Japanese copy is unfortunately back home, but I’m pretty sure he used the word “suki”. That’s why when Yuzuru replied with a thanks, he sorta freaked out thinking it’s not reciprocated.
Σ( ￣□￣||) Dude is so much of an airhead it stresses me out.
It’s also partly on Seryo for being ambiguous about his relationship with Shino, sigh. And that brother and his gf…. They can take that toxic shit away from our precious boys, thank you.
Smut aside, there’s something just so endearing reading about 2 people being absolutely in love with each other ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
