welcome to cherry sinclair's happy house! 🍒 (un)fortunately for the poor side character, her decision to build a fortress amidst a terrible catastrophe attracted quite a lot of attention to little old her. the male leads are trapped in my house. not only is its plot not BORING (unlike a million others that involve scheming by the "the empire's strongest four houses", warfare and a bunch of political jargon), it is also filled with actual tension among the main cast. every character has a distinct personality, a manner of speaking, and a unique relationship established with the female lead. the story is set in an era of zombie apocalypse which makes the key conflict area of this manhwa all the more refreshing and worthy of reading. and frankly, how often do you see a leading lady take the initiative of throwing boulders from a clock tower to eradicate a giant pool of zombies underneath? the best part about it is that the romance between cherry and eden is not forced at all. it develops as the arcs change, and it's so very natural that you wouldn't even realise how deep their bond has grown... until you reach a panel where they're laying across from each other, talking about something as menial as the lack of food resources, and yet the moment feels so tender. THIS is how you write love that blooms properly. i am so mad that i am caught up with it. truly. it will probably take another year or two to finish, and the wait is enough to turn my hair white 🚬 here are my favourite panels :)
