Let Dai, Volume 07

Let Dai #7

by Sooyeon Won

Is this desire for freedom the very thing that entrapped us? Let Dai is a tragic tale of forbidden love and unforgivable betrayal. Set in a soulless neo-Seoul ruled by young punks and pleasure seekers, an amoral teenager named Dai is the living embodiment of the city's beauty and cruelty. As the leader of the vicious Furies gang, Dai seduces everyone who lays eyes on him, only to blind them to his own barbaric nature. When an honest schoolboy named Jaehee rescues a beautiful girl from being mugged by the Furies, he can?t possibly realize how this brief encounter will plunge him into a downward spiral of unbridled passion and unfathomable pain. From his brutal gang initiation to an unspeakable act committed against his girlfriend, Jaehee wavers uncomfortably between revulsion and fascination. And in Dai he finds a tender, caring friend one moment and a heartless sociopath the next, awakening strange and unhealthy desires in Jaehee that he could never before have imagined.

[Rosenblue(vintage & retro manga & classic literature deserve more love on GR) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This series is a total page turner,every moment has me on my toes with anticipation. Pure gold.

Dai tries to alter the situation between Eunhyung and Jaehee in his typical violent and dramatic fashion. That bit's very good. Final third or so of the volume feels more like filler though.
