This was a pure cover buy and if you had given me a million guesses I wouldn't have guessed what the actual premise of this story was. A beautiful manhwa that you should go into as blindly as possible.

Ok I don't really know how to rate this comic. On one hand it portrays depression incredibly well, and I fully understood all of it. However, the story feels rushed and it definitely could be an entire series if the author gave themselves the time and space to do so. I also feel like the translation wasn't that great, which isn't the fault of the original content but definitely something that makes it less enjoyable!

I don't know, it was good at times but I feel this one could have benefitted from being a series. Like 3-4 volumes instead of everything crammed into one 200 page volume. I noticed myself just slipping away, my ADHD longing for other books and other things to do. In the end I continued, and yes, I love the magical aspect, I love the way the mental health/suicide is handled and could feel it all, the characters are fab. But I just wish it had been more.

Sugar perdeu todos os sentimentos com a sua memória. Perdida em um oceano mágico, um paraíso de crianças que não crescem, ela encontra uma tartaruga que diz ser sua outra metade e que elas precisam escapar daquele lugar.
Foi um Manga de volume único que trata de uma forma delicada sobre a autodestruição, tensão, dor e depressão.
Eu gostei bastante da leitura e me vejo fazendo uma releitura no futuro. 
Deixo aqui minha recomendação para quem gosta de mangas que acertam nos sentimentos e possuem um estilo de desenho bonito.
