kei_k's manga / #Memory Loss(6)

Finished reading until Chapter 12, though only skimmed ch 5 (no translated ver out).. This is so good. The romance is like in Kimi ni Todoke, and at some point I even felt like Kagami looked like Kazehaya. XD The plot is interesting (personal fave, memory loss) and it's a good take on how the person in question takes it on for her identity... Glad that there were no unnecessary love triangles with forced actions, evil plans and annoying threats..

Finished until Chapter 10. Overall plot/concept was interesting, but could've been explored more..

Finished until Chap 44.5 // Shed tears. Truly. I wish there were more chapters exploring the leads' relationship since the buildup was far too long to just end it like that.

Overall story is meh and characters were not fleshed out.. But it's good to read about the topuc of moving on with a new love after a dead lover.

Uke was mostly passive all throughout, just moping and bottling all his thoughts and feelings inside. If the seme did not take action despite forgetting, they wouldn't be back together.

last: vol 6 ch 2 // skimmed raws until vol 13. it was pretty good. i disliked the parts where the fake Sodam appeared and he even kissed her. >_< well, he didn't know. in situations like that, he had to do it because he wanted to hold on to "Sodam" despite feeling that he's falling for Jo Eun even more. What irked me was that he's being reminded of Sodam when he's with Jo Eun, but how come he didn't suspect her or try to like have her DNa tested too since she did it for the fake one? Anyway, it's too bad for Woo Jin/Seok Ho, but he wasn't her choice until the end... ugh.. just thinking about all the fake Sodam's sabotage for Jo Eun makes my blood boil.. and of course, Rak Ho just had to side with him 'coz "Sodam" is his first love and he refuses to believe anyone who opposes her. Btw, when the fake Sodam died, it was heartbreaking to see them blame her for it, especially the sister who scandalized her calling her a criminal, making her think that she's truly unlucky.. Ha... And even when the truth was revealed, they couldn't be together because they both didn't have the courage to face the other, especially Rak Ho, who hurt her too much with the fake Sodam's incident. It's annoying when even Seul Ha interfered, causing more misunderstandings. In the end, Jo Eun had to leave for San Francisco with Woo Jin. She refused his proposal after a year though, saying she really can't be with him because he and Ji Hong (Rak Ho) are related and she's always reminded of him when she sees Woo Jin. Btw, the ending was pretty sweet. So she gets to go to a house filled with her portraits, mostly sneaky ones, even one which was only the day before. Well, this is pretty stalker-ish, but as she said in the last line, "If it would be a stalker like this, I will never cry. Never Cry." She was really touched and it turns out that Rak Ho has been following her until that day when he finally gathered his courage to face her again. Note: Anyway, as for Seok Ho's story, he's actually an illegitimate child. He was taken when he was 9 because the official heir, Woo Jin, died in France. He underwent a plastic surgery to take over Woo Jin's identity. The grandpa promised that his mom and sister (Jo Eun) will be properly compensated and taken care of as long as he remains obedient. Btw, the issue presented in the beginning wasn't clear to me. Like, about the man with sad eyes who named her Jo Eun. So I believe it was said that the kidnapper died but the motive wasn't especially clear. He seemed to know the mother, but I don't think it was particularly mentioned how they were related. I mean, he even called her in the beginning to inform of the kidnapping. Was he a fan or a former lover? Hmm. I think this deserved more explanations since he played a big part on the story. You know, giving her the name and leaving her in the island. Also, what was that in the beginning anyway? Was it just a filler? The one with the heart of steel/heart of kindness stuff..
