This is one of the best BL stories ever written. I love the way the hinting of autism is always there, but never made any kind of fun of. I have seen the tv-series, the anime and even read the web-novel. I love Angys art and J.Soori is a remarkable good writer. This comic is a must for any BL readers.

This was a really strong first volume setting up an enemies-to-lovers romance. I love the strong personalities of both characters and how they specifically have opposing traits that get under each others skin, while also showing how each helps to mellow the other in some of the worst aspects of those traits. I definitely laughed a lot. I do wish we got a little bit more about some of the side characters, they feel very filler and interchangeable so far. Otherwise I'm very into the series, planning to read more, and definitely recommend it to anyone who likes romance with initial friction.

Semantic Error is one of the most tender, coziest comics ever. The characters are irresistibly charming—the kind you inevitably fall in love with. Their chemistry is electric, blending playful banter with heartfelt moments that make the story deeply engaging. The art style complements the narrative perfectly, with warm, expressive visuals that pull you into their world.

What makes this comic truly special is its balance of humor and emotional depth. The slow-burn romance feels authentic, and the character development is nuanced, making every interaction meaningful. Whether it’s the awkward yet endearing misunderstandings or the quiet, intimate scenes, Semantic Error captures the sweetness and complexity of falling in love.

I really enjoyed this graphic novel adaptation of Semantic Error! I love the show, so I'm glad that this did not disappoint. I really liked the artwork and the way the characters were depicted. I felt it stayed true to the spirit of the characters and the show. The dynamic between Jaeyoung and Sangwoo is so precious, and I love to see their relationship grow. Sangwoo having to break from his routines is painful to watch, but goes to show that sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone is worth it! I can't wait to read the next volumes and see where the relationship takes them.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review!

This was such a fun start to the story! The art is great and the protagonists have great chemistry despite their very different personalities. The prologue sets the mood for the rest of the story and keeps the reader excited for the upcoming plot. I read it in one breath and I will definitely be following the next volumes.

IM NOT SAYINGGGG HES AUTISTIC but like if not why shaped like it? I love how frustrated the main love is and how annoyed/sneaky the man is to get through this. I’m literally screaming and kicking my feet at times and howling with laughter at others. Like boy you are so weird I love it.

I absolutely loved the bl drama, so when I saw this on netgalley I obviously had to request it! I liked it a lot, will definitely read the rest of the volumes on my own when I feel in the mood for it! Highly recommend it to anyone, especially fans of the show!

I first saw the drama a few times ago, which was adapted from the webtoon, and I really liked it. Today I read the webtoon and honestly it was even better. Understanding each one point of view, and I really liked the drawing. We get a better understanding of Sangwoo's personality - which is really autistic coded and I'm a bit sad that they didn't make it official since it would have make a really great confident, official representation of autism.

The main character in this story is amazing at coding and even sees everything in his life like a program—everything has to be done the same way, or it totally throws him off. But then someone new shows up, someone who's interested in him. After a certain event, this guy starts purposely messing with his routine, which really throws the main character off balance. It's a really interesting story about someone who sees the world differently and how he handles change and unexpected emotions. The art is also really well done and fits the tone of the story perfectly.

I love the art style in this!
Some of the things they did to each other were kinda mean, real enemies to lovers set up.
Jaeyoung is actually so obsessed with Sangwoo...
I already have a library hold on Vol.2.

Thanks NetGalley and Yen Press for this arc.

2.5/5 stars rounded up

I was looking forward to this enemies to lovers manga so much, but it ends up being more bullying to maybe lovers in future volumes, and that's just not for me. It felt too mean and too mind gamey to be enjoyable. The art is really lovely and I love that it's full colour, but the situations just made me mad lol. I won't be continuing with this series

Sangwoo Choo is a Computer Science major who works hard. He finds himself having to do all the work for a group project and so he cuts everyone’s names from the project entirely―including design major Jaeyoung Jang, which ruins Jaeyoungs plans to graduate and study abroad. Jaeyoung then starts stalking and pestering Sangwooa and an opportunity for them to collaborate on a business project together is lost because the two students detest each other. As they get under each other’s skin, they get to know each other and hopefully we will get to see what happens. This is the first volume and I am intrigued.

Semantic Error Vol. 1 was an entertaining enemies to lovers story. The main character Sangwoo has neuroatypical tendencies in that he needs everything to work like clockwork and have a place. Anything out of place or routine causes him irritation. And nothing is more irritating than Jaeyoung when he and the others don't help with a group project.

Jaeyoung feels all his problems are the fault of Sangwoo and after running into each other he decides Sangwoo wont be able to ignore him. The story is basically Jaeyoung getting on Sangwoos nerves and making him see Jaeyoung. Some of the antics are uncomfy and others are trivial to anyone else but Sangwoo. I'm really interested in how vol 2 will make me feel abou these two men. This story is definitely one I want to continue. I would like to see Jaeyoung's redemption arc and see Sangwoo able to let someone in to his world.

The book has full art and was beautifully drawn. It helped give the story a visual on what was happening. It was fun to read and I very much enjoyed the art.

Confession: I did not download this from NetGalley in time to read it before it expired. However! I have the vast privilege of a robust library system (and one that can borrow from other counties in the state), so I immediately popped onto Link+ and got a copy sent up to me! But what does that REALLY mean? That here I am, sitting in my car reading this volume 1 before it's due, and hoping the security lady doesn't catch me laughing in the driver's seat.

We meet Chu Sangwoo (a guy that's just like me frfr) during his Econ presentation - a presentation his entire group flaked out on, leaving him to do said presentation all on his own. So does he give them credit for being in his group? NO, and not only that, he explains to the professor after just what happened with each of the members that they left him high and dry on his own. (Maybe it seems like a jerk move but honestly as someone who's been left to do the bulk of presentation work, I can only applaud this man.)

Of course the members of his group are affected, but none moreso than Jang Jaeyoung, a college senior who was set to graduate - until the two credits from the aforementioned econ class left him short.

In something that starts off as a revenge story Jaeyoung's inability to graduate, soon we get his POV of the whole situation and that his issues with Sangwoo go farther back than one day of school. So.... sounds like Jaeyoung will have no choice but to remember who he is!

As funny as it is, I'm interested in the characters and am interested as well to see them get together eventually!

Thank you to Yen Press/Ize Press for the eARC in exchange for review!

El guion es una de las mejores cosas que he encontrado en lo que a manga respecta, no solo porque la historia es genial, sino también porque el ritmo y la distribución de las viñetas son fáciles de seguir. Hay mucho desarrollo en los personajes, sus interacciones y la presentación de cada uno de ellos, hasta el punto de que te sumerges desde el primer capítulo. Más que sumergido, diría yo; hasta el punto de no retorno.

The script is one of the best things I've found in manga, not only because the story is great, but also because the pace and the panel distribution are easy to follow. There's a lot of development in the characters, their interactions, and the presentation of each of them, to the point that you get immersed just with the first chapter. More than immersed, I'd say; to the point of no return.

I really liked this book! I’ve watched the Korean drama of it and loved to see each of their perspectives in the book, where I couldn’t in the drama. Cannot wait to read volume 2 to see how Sangwoo untangles and understands his feelings better! This is an amazing enemies-to-lovers trope and I highly recommend it!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and this is my honest review.

Thank you so much for letting me read this manga. I enjoyed this story a lot. I want to continue reading.

I liked this story, although it was uncomfortable at times. Sangwoo was a difficult character to like with his uncompromising manners and inability to handle social situations, which made him come across as rude, but I sympathized with him in his suffering he really didn’t deserve. And the sociable Jaeyoung wasn’t any nicer in how he believed it’s his right to ruin Sangwoo’s life for his own amusement. But it’s interesting to see where this will develop, so I’ll definitely read more. Art was full color and great.

LovE this weebtoon i also watched de kdrama, i really recomend it. It's a great enemy to lovers story.

Really enjoyed this story, and the art. Cant wait to continue with this series
