When I was reading this manga I thought I had discovered a masterpiece. The art improvement from OHSHC and the fact that it takes place in college was such a win for this shoujo manga! But, it all went to hot trash when when the MC ended up endgaming with his FIRST COUSIN! The same cousin he had absolutely no interest in throughout the entire manga! This last minute pairing was completely out of character for these two, and it's just so unfortunate that it ended like that. It's honestly been a few years since I finished this manga, but it's always left a bad ... taste in my mouth, so here I am writing this review for my own sense of closure (and hopes that someone else agrees with me). Overall, the manga is so great; the relationships are complex and the characters and likably flawed. I just wish the mangaka didn't rush a last-minute romantic interest for those two characters at the end. It feels like a betrayal towards your own story.

Nice melancholic indie vampire story for those looking for it. It's weird and a bit wonky, but is still able to leave the reader with a tender feeling. Any story involving vampires involves subjects of mortality and the meaning of life, but this story goes to show that there's more to being a vampire than blood and death. I'd say, this story focuses on the immortality aspect of vampire-isms more than the blood sucking parts. I spent years following this manhwa and I've gotten lost in the plot a few times, (mostly because of untrustworthy translations), but overall it's still one of my treasured favorites. ... Very underrated.

100% recommend! I haven't been so heavily attached to a comic in a long time.. The characters of this story seem to stay with you even after putting down the reading. The tone of the comic, as you read through it, is comedic and filled with realistic, unfiltered high-schooler dialogue, but the genre is undeniably categorized as "drama" for a reason. Without giving too much detail about the plot, I also wanted to talk about the unexpectedly satisfying art style. Simple lines with simple features, yet the artist is able to depict specific emotions better than most webtoon authors out there. The story is consistent, ... the characters act their age, and the situations make sense. Overall, I can't give this a solid rating until it's completed, but as of right now, it's giving 9/10 with 10/10 potential.

Haejoon and Eunyungs relationship together is so dynamic and precious, it's ultimately what makes this story enticing and addictive. Their characters are written as the perfect textbook enemies to friends to potential something more (platonic or however else you see it), but the reality between the two is that because they're so similar in situation, they can never work! Two characters who truly understand each other, can see through the others actions, and can put their own life on the line for the other, also have the ability to tear each other down in the worst and most crucial ways. It's tragically realistic and as a reader, you want more than anything for a magical happy ending for. everyone. This story written by Wanan hits home for almost every family dynamic experienced, and it humanizes every situation from so many different perspectives.

I was really surprised about the tone shift in the story when it's revealed that the reason Haejoon ran away from home is because of his mother's passing. I didn't expect Eunyung to be my favorite character in the entirety of media I've consumed in my whole life, and I didn't expect Juwan to be the glue connecting their weird little friend group all together. Overall, this story has surprised me in the most heartfelt ways. I tune in every Monday to see how they're doing.
