this story is heavy and in-depth when it comes to its plot, and that's what makes this manhwa one of the best. the romance almost feels like a subplot because the story focuses more on the characters and their journey. the themes can be triggering for some readers, so it's best to check the tags before reading. the plot is incredibly well-written, and i love how different the characters are from one another. their development over time is one of the strongest parts of the story. it just keeps getting better and better, and i found myself wanting to see them solve the case until the very end. this story also explores themes of obsession, possessiveness, and the male lead's inferiority complex, which adds even more depth to the narrative.

Love For Sale

i've been curious about this one for a while, so i had to give it a try. it's pure angst like a battle between siblings, oneself, and parents. i love it when characters' behavior has deeper reasons behind it, and si-eon had such a hard time figuring everything out. thankfully, namwoo was there to help him understand himself. he became a guide for si-eon, and i love that so much 🥹 when all the conflicts were finally resolved, the giddy feeling hit differently because all their suffering felt worth it. they were finally able to live and love freely without being haunted by their past. it's all good now

My Hero Academia
영화 / TV
i watched it from the start once it had finished because i stopped watching it years ago. i spent the last four episodes crying because i got so attached to these characters. it's always like this whenever i finish a long anime series. the todoroki family was my last straw, especially the final scene with toya. watching them grow up made me feel like i missed something during their remaining years at ua. i love aizawa so much here. he's truly the best teacher they could have asked for. the final seasons also made me nostalgic for the early days of ua—the internships, the school festival, the hero training, and all those simpler moments with all might still around. speaking of all might, he's one of the best characters. he became the inspiration for many heroes, especially deku and bakugo (i still can't bring myself to use his hero name because it makes me laugh 😭). those two are really meant for each other. i always think about bakugo's revival scene and the way they fought together to save all might. and he called himself kacchan! we love character development! to be honest, i wasn't fond of bakugo at the beginning because of his loud and arrogant personality, but the last two seasons made me love him. somehow he ended up becoming my favorite character 😭 as for the arcs, i don't have a particular favorite. surprisingly, i never got bored watching because i was also invested in the villains. i know some people don't like the my villain academia arc, but i wanted to see how the villains became who they are. the movies were good too! i especially love world heroes' mission. my favorite trio is deku, shoto, and bakugo. i love the dynamic of their friendship. i really enjoyed the endeavor agency arc. and deku... man, he really is the goat. the final fights were incredible. special mention to bakugo against afo because imagine literally coming back from death just to serve visuals and be iconic. i do feel sad that deku's time with one for all ended up being so short. it made me cry when he returned to hero duties again during the timeskip. i'm loving this anime so much. i just want to yap about it and dive deeper into the rabbit hole. 😭
