Suicide Boy - As the title implies, the story is about a boy who wants to commit suicide.

When i first started the series, I expected it to mainly focus on different ways a person can kill themselves - with MC constantly failing to do the deed. And even though that is partly true, "Suicide Boy" has more to offer than "How can i kill myself" tutorial.

The story centers around Hoon Lee - a weak, skinny teenager who resembles a female MC from Watamote series - He even has feminine traits and usually ends up doing something cringy/awkward.

Hoon lives a lonely and depressing life. There ... are several reasons why he wants to commit suicide: He has no parents; thanks to his dad, he has a massive debt - that he can't pay; he lives in poverty and sometimes can't even afford cheap food; has no friends; has no goal in life; he also gets bullied and is abused hard at school.

Despite these, the series isn't "heavy" to read; nor is it saturated with depressing stuff filled with suffering. There are sad moments here and there, but nothing over the top (except for 1 time towards the end of season 1). There are some light-hearted moments, including gags and funny stuff - so den't expect gloomy aura 24/7.

Characters that are introduced throughout the story are likeable and get a decent development.

The biggest issue with the series though is that the plot progression is sometimes very slow and nothing really happens. You could say that it suffers from repetitiveness in certain situations. And there are only 60 chapters out yet!
To me it feels like the author could end the series in just 5 chapters if he wanted to, but he doesn't want to, thus the story goes on.

Art is typical for Korean mahwa style - not my favorite, but it's Ok.

Overall, it's still quite good. Definitely give it a try.

This manwha (korean manga it seems), is incredible!
The overall atmosphere and aspects it covers, that range from dark to humorful in the realm of reality & how real suicide is (yes it can be humorful to an extent, a very..strange, unique extent).

Here you have a boy, who appears to be young, yet is 17, who encounters a world of hurt every single day, every step of the way. He tries and tries to commit the deed, but fails inevitably due to the fears and pains that said deed comes with it.

Eventually, the side characters you'd assume that would come, do show up, but incredibly unexpectedly!

Through ... it all, our little cinna-roll struggles deeply, and this manga shows it's beauty.
The beauty that such feelings do exist in the world, and are more times than naught, avoided heavily.

There's lots of cringy moments, but so very many wholesome moments, that I really want anyone interested in knowing more of how people who've been depressed and dealt with the struggles of suicide, to check this out!

even if the manga has sensitive topic like bullying , suicide and self harm it manga about a wimpy boy named lee hooni who gets bully and other stuff but the manga is also heart warming the author even put a warning on there YouTube for people who are about to read it the art and character designs are great the character are really like able it a great manga with its ups and downs the main character is my favorite and he is really like able but sometimes the thing he does will make you cry i read like 70 ... or more chapters I'm currently waiting for more chapters

PLEASE I beg you to read the manga carefully i beg you !!
don't do anything bad that the character does and read with CAUTION

Overall, this manhwa is really good, a lot of people tend to criticize it, which I somewhat get? People say this series romanticizes suicidal ideation and self harm, which I guess I could see in some ways, but coming from someone who self harms and has common thoughts of suicide (even attempted it before) this is very common for mentally ill people to do. A lot of people who self harm think their scars are "pretty" or "their best feature" or something along those lines. If Parkgee is in fact mentally ill or suicidal, he could be incorporating himself into this series somehow and people ... mistake it for something else...?

Overall, I feel like this really brings the bullying that people like Hooni endure at school or even outside of school. It shows how the mind of someone such as Hooni functions (I'm not saying all people who are suicidal or self harm are like Hooni, but some could be like him.) Some people may view this as mockery, but it really isn't.

Parkgee is a great author, despite all the hate he gets for this work. Some people are just taking this series the wrong way in my eyes. Parkgee is simply trying to bring all the wrong to light and make people aware of it in a more creative way (like his series.)

I recently found a picture of him and decided to read the webtoon and i was not disappointed in what i read. The story, like many others have stated so i wont waste time saying, was original, and had many sad and uplifting moments.

The first 55 chapters were the technical s1, and it was definitely at least a 8-9 in my opinion. He suffers from depression and finds ways to die but ends up failing. People around him start befriending him, and the cast is very diverse and fun. But after the first season several things start to happen.

Firstly the art style cleans ... up a little and becomes more polished, which in itself isnt a bad thing, but then the focus starts moving away from the main character completely. The story gets very mundane quickly, and i guess it could be considered character development? But the whole theme and mood of the story changes in a desperate attempt to keep the story alive. There was also a very large cliffhanger at the end of the first season that hasn't even been brushed up on. Overall i dislike the second season so much that I wont even consider it part of the canon story. If you really want to read it, keep what i said in mind.

Suicide Boy is completely crazy and non sense dark humor manga,
they have a lotta funny moments that envolved suicide, self harming, bullying and other disgusting things,
but they make that manga unique and a great life appreciation lesson and existential philosophy lesson


Story 4/10

Story sucks, they trying to focused on Hooni daily live and he get envolved on that "Everybody hates Chris" moments
But somethimes i have the impression what that anime is like a strange Shotacon Fetish, a lot of forced and strange moments
who Hooni gets involved, who simply pray god to the real villian of that anime (the creator) not trash our beloved character
who we learned ... to like.


Art 9/10

The Art is pretty unique and cute, is simple and beatiful, perfect for easy drawing or sticker memes (yeahhhh sticker memes :)


Character 8/10

Theres a lot who is just generic and random, this not includes Lee Hooni, i love that character development who turn
a suicide and depressed boy into a confident and likeable boy, he is once of my favorite manga characters,
He is "Chris" from "Everybody Hates Chris" but with their own style, i cant rightly explain in words how charismatic he are.

And the other characters is like the nerdy and dedicated guy, the Blondy smart playboy, the Tomboy who fell in love with Hooni
(she is pretty funny), The artist kid who try to sample Hooni (later he became a girl IDK who tf is happen or if she is still he wtf Park Gee explain this shit)


Enjoyment 8/10

I enjoy so much the fact of the situation be so bizarre and crazy with a lot of Dark Humor and things getting wrong in a bad luck wave
Every chapter that i read i see a lot of creative and funny ideas who made a enjoyable manga


Opera Summary

i like that manga, somethimes is pretty strange but in the most time is pretty nice to read
