I loved it, but...

This story is a huge favorite.
But...

it lacks intense scenes between the two characters at the end.
the mood of the final chapters smoothes out the chemistry between the two protagonists.
the ending is really too fast.
I would have liked a sequel with mature scenes from their young adult lives.

Personality Clashes! Drama! Character Development!

by tumultuousnesses
4 months ago

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

So, I binged this, in two sittings only because I was ill, up to and including Chapter 127, but unfortunately, the remaining 4 chapters have yet to be translated. I doubt much of interest would happen in them beyond closure, so I’m writing this review having not read them. (I never have the patience to wait for chapters.)

Edit: Finished it!

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with psychological dramas so that I can psycho- (and over-) analyse character motivations, and this manhwa managed to really scratch that itch. The entire story carries an undertone of unease, and I’d say the plot is character-driven and medium-paced. The focus is mostly on the characters' psychology and the drama is uncontrived, though the extended flashbacks did get a bit boring at times. The manhwa also didn’t dive into relationship development (and the accompanying steam) until season 3, which was to my taste since I’m not a fan of steam (gimme R drama but with PG scenes only plz 😭). I also don't really think the title is very reflective of the manhwa itself. Maybe it's a reference to Skylar's love of photography or the characters' escapisms, but oh well.

Characterisation:

Both of the main characters are multifaceted and well-developed, portrayed with vulnerability and insecurity. I really liked how the author themselves stated that they didn't want to confine or limit the characters to defining characteristics such as 'dominant' or 'receptive', and that truly comes across in the nuance with which they’re written.

Cirrus starts off as pretty manipulative, so it's understandable that Skylar hates him. But his backstory is tragic—

he was a lonely kid who became a target, and it’s sadder still that his coping mechanism was to curate a false personality to cover up his true, twisted self in an attempt to seem like he had a healthy, happy life just in order to avoid being exploited again.

Cirrus' insecurities lead him to become co-dependent and obsessive as he grows closer to Skylar,

but his manipulations stemming from his unhealthy possessiveness do eventually get a little comeuppance.

While Cirrus can be self-destructive, he is always the first one to reach out to Skylar. In contrast, Skylar is impulsive, often jumping to conclusions, with his trauma causes him to often run away from his problems.

Skylar begins as the main character but I feel as though it shifted to Cirrus being the main character. Cirrus has a few breakdowns, but those breakdowns help him reshape his personality to one that is more reflective of who he truly is.

Friends in the extended friendship group provided light comic relief with their bicker and snarky comments. Side characters aren't that central to the story, except Chan il.

Chan il saying that Cirrus and him were best friends when reconciling was such a lovely and unexpected scene.

Coming of Age:

This is definitely a coming-of-age story, with both characters battling their past traumas while growing up. Teenage sexual awakening is hard, and the flashback shows how it could go wrong—especially the frustration with parents who try to help but nearly end up making things worse.

There are miscommunications between the main characters, and both have said some pretty mean things to each other. But hey, they’re still growing and learning. They work through their differences and mistakes, deciding to trust each other in the end.

Character Motivations:

Although I don’t think everything the characters do is justifiable, the psychology behind their actions is fascinating.

For example, Minwoo’s motivation for bullying Skylar was that he wanted Skylar to feel as disgusted as Minwoo himself felt.

It’s often twisted, but so interesting how humans may try to justify their actions. I’m also glad that the objects of trauma aren’t shoehorned into the story, appearing only in the flashbacks.

Art:

The art style is especially beautiful in some scenes. Skylar’s character design remains pretty consistent, but Cirrus’ changes a bit too often (his eye colour shifted between red and blue or just blue, and his build seemed to change unexpectedly), which felt a bit disted. Personally, I found the emphasis on the characters’ pouty lips a little uncomfortable, but it looked really cool when eyes brightly flashed neon, especially against otherwise darker tones.

Trigger Warnings:

Despite the darker thematic undertones, there aren’t any explicit scenes other than making out (later in the manhwa). However, there is non-consensual and dubious consent (especially at the beginning), heavy themes (including insinuations of child sexual abuse, abusive family , and severe bullying), and some blood. I’d give it an age rating of 15+.

Quotes:

If the person I like thinks I'm disgusting, [as a homosexual person,] I can't say anything to defend myself.

There's an invisible line between us. We lived in the same home, but we weren't family.

I'm suffocating in this unchanging distance between us. I'm afraid that you'll lead a normal life and leave me all alone, afraid that you'll find your happiness without me, afraid that I won't be able to go on without you.

If you're this sweet, I might forget what it's like to be alone.

I can't even how I managed to live without you.

You and I aren't close enough to be talking behind each others' backs. [LOL]

Who caused you so much pain that you wanted to erase their name from your memory? I'm jealous, you'll probably him forever.

I want to be everything for you. The best and the worst person you knew.

I'm so cold [but not because of the rain...]

I wished for your happiness, but I believed that I couldn't make you happy.

He is slowly finding a path of his own. You won't have to worry about him, just watch and you'll see.

Candy, your soft gazes and your warm cuddles are what kept me from falling apart. [😭🐶💕]

This story revolves around two teenagers who share parallel experiences of overcoming their pasts and confronting what lies ahead. One of the most captivating aspects is how deeply the pain and sorrow of the characters resonate with us as readers—every captures their struggles, and even the smallest details in their expressions make you reflect on the emotions they’re experiencing.

As someone who has followed the story since the beginning, those Fridays were a rollercoaster― the anger and frustrations shift between the characters. It truly was a wild ride.

From its pacing to the character development, everything about this story deserves endless praise. It’s expertly crafted and has sparked introspection and diverse interpretations among readers. But one thing we can all agree on is that it is undoubtedly the best Coming of Age & Psychological BL of all time.

Actual Psychological Yaoi

by Macabreriz

Rating: N/A

So far in the story nothing NSFW had happen other than, abuse etc. So I'll start from the beginning.

The story start with unconsensual and dubious consent. Things start from a typical Yaoi plot, but the author able to add more depths in the story which make me believe that they are a good writer. Some of the character are quite predictable but the execution and how the story written are amazing that you really don't question alot if it believable or not. Then again you need to that the character are children in highschool and they make mistake, awful one but improving.

I believe this Webtoon is coming of age Gay story, which are cool in my opinion.

I really have a thing for messed up characters. The troubles they have and their inability to speak about it hits hard. The story has depth, drama and angst. We‘ll see what happens.

And the art is simply AMAZING. I have read lots of manga, manhwa, webtoons. This art, regardless of the genre, is absolutely one of the best.

Go read it, folks!

For people like me who can't read yaoi I was able to read it, its more of a psychological slice of life than romance. The characters have believable personality and decisions that are inline with their personalities. The characters have depth. Its able to make you think, and is interesting enough to keep you reading w/o getting bored (you'll want to read more and more) And I agree with what all of @fakeobsession said, aside from the boring part.
