2.0/5.0 for content + 1.0 extra for better illustrations.
It is a story of two longtime friends Seong-ji and Ji-won. Both were very close but then part their ways for their respective careers. Ji-won became detached as she was more practical but Seong-ji was emotional and stayed in thought of being with her friend again.
Latter due to lack of finances studied in day time and worked in night time in a grocery store to accommodate the expenses. She met a young women who was older than her while peeking in others' houses in night time to paint and photograph those places (it is illegal though, so other readers must not be influenced with this act). Author said it through her "you know, I do this at night because it’s the time when our eyes are freshest., during the day, everybody is so judgemental. we have to be blameless in the eyes of others.", but still this is wrong.
Both discussed things and their past lives but when Seong got inspired and asked Ji-won to meet her Ji-won was different in act. So different from what Seong knew about her from her earlier days. She than realized that her world fallen apart and she left the place.
This was more about lesbo-love than a fair friendship. But it was all one-sided, be it from Seong-ji for Ji-won or from that Mysterious women for Seong-ji, but it was mostly LGBTQ+ only, which was not mentioned in the genres listed. However, there were some life teaching she gave to Seong, like, “Silence can say a lot. In fact, it can be very talkative when you know how to listen.”
Honestly, I do not like this graphic book. Do not understand the concept of writing it when there is no proper start and end. And, even in mid-ways there is no proper content to fill it with gripping essence. If Author wanted to leave it with an open end then also there must be some proper route not just ambiguity on thoughts with no sense of any emotion. There should be more on how those two friends met and what was the reason on Ji-won's cold behavior or why suddenly some strange women took Seong-ji with her? There must be some yielding part play by that women.
It was very obvious and realistic that we loose many of our friends while switching from school to university and then for Job and that was the concept put forth but in a very lean dis-engaged manner. BLEAK.
Cover illustration was so appealing but content is exactly opposite though water color illustrations inside were also very nice.
