Hello!!! I hope this chapter makes it to everyone who has been annoyed or disappointed with the recent thing with the uhhh- previous translation group before me :D

Sorry for any mistakes in the chapter as I wanted to push this chapter out quickly for everyone stuck on the cliffhanger of chapter 25 (but still at least make it good quality work)…

As stated before, this is only temporary for one chapter (chapter 26). Watermarks/etc aren’t included as they serve no purpose to me and are unnecessary (plus, it’s better for reading purposes and I prefer reading other manhwa like that too LMAO)

Take translations with a small grain of salt, but I hope the translation was at least understandable/not wonky for you reader!

Thank you <3 and keep loving the NEW BLACK boys where it be the manhwa or novel!!

I, once in the past, MTL (but edited to make sense) this novel, but only up to chapter 22 online and seeing this NOVEL have a MANHWA makes me feel like a proud mother LOL!! My editing of the MTL wasn’t that good truth be told as I don’t know Korean. But, I still wanted people to experience the novel which is why I always looked up words/meaning to get a better understanding HAHA!! I’m glad that this novel is getting attention from all kinds of reader now!

I only read up to chapter 50 of the novel and stopped cause I got to busy and fell out of reading novels, but I can tell you it’s good (maybe I’m biased a little- a lot on this HAHA!!) The novel is a light-heart and fun read. You (for me personally) start to feel a connection with the young boys called NEW BLACK and even the people that they make along their journey!! BIJU is my bias from back then and even now LMAO RIHYUK may be a TSUNDERE, but he’s so adorable, like a black cat!

The pacing of the MANHWA is a lot more on the fast side compare to the novel. It’s missing details and giving mostly the big picture, but you’ll still understand it. For example, in CHAPTER ONE, WOOJOO saved the old man, but that’s about it we get from it. We don’t even get the details that WOOJOO was on his way to take a hella of a big exam and saw an old man pushing a cart alone. He then went to help the old man out of kindness since the old man reminded him of his grandma (who he cares for a lot). They chatted, got along, and then parted ways before WOOJOO heard/saw the wild car about to crash into the old man. The MANHWA also didn’t go into much detail in the beginning on the relationship of WOOJOO and SEOKHWAN (he’s like a caring father to WOOJOO after all the things he’s seen him go through). Maybe these details will be revealed later on, but that’s my take on the MANHWA so far-

However, it’s understandable that’s its fast pace as it’s a MANHWA and not a NOVEL. They even skipped my favorite ARC: DAILY LIFE AND DORMS from the novel and proceeded straight to their collab with SOWON after their End of the Evaluation (sadddd). But it makes sense as that arc was more for us readers to see their friendship and daily life (kinda like a filler arc). I was also so excited to finally see the boy’s reaction to the other possible group names they could have debuted under other than NEW BLACK, but they also skipped on that part LMAO!!

Overall, I really have a big soft-spot for this NOVEL/now MANHWA in my heart and seeing it come this far makes me so happy!! Thank you for clicking on this MANHWA.

(PS: producer director JO KYUHWAN was so much more handsome in the MANHWA than I had imagined him in my head LOL)
