prima lettura dell'anno... e si comincia con il piede giusto!
primo manhwa che leggo, e che ho trovato di ottima compagnia.
storia molto semplice e scorrevole, anche se il plot twist non è inaspettato.
finito in veramente poco tempo, ma si può finire pure in uno/due giorni; vivamente consigliato.

نگم از اینکه چقدررر این خوب بود. خیلی دوسش دارم پر از حس های قشنگه. باهاشون خوشحال شدم، ترسیدم، بغض و گریه کردم. ب معمای واقعی کلمهههه احساساتم رو ب غلیان درآورد.
خیلی سال پیش خوندمش حدودا 5 یا 6 سال پیش.هر هفته دل تو دلم نبود ک نویسنده اپیزود جدید رو آپلود کنه. گوشیمو میچسبیدم و با دقت و آروم آروم میخوندم. نمیخواستم ب آخر اون اپیزود برسم و اوووه... بره تا هفته ی بعد؟!
شاید جزئیاتش خاطرم نباشه اما هنوز ک به اسم و جلوش نگا میکنم همون حسی که اون موقع باهاش تجربه کردم دوباره درونم زنده میشه. عزیزمم قلبم برای این داستان تپید و خیلی جاها مچاله شد.
واقعا ارزشش خوندن رو داشت. من اصلا آدم sad story نیستم ب هیچ وجه ولی این هم فقط sad story نیست! عین واقعیت میموند. پر از اتفاقات جورواجور.
بچه گرگای گوگولی مظلوم من! کاش میتونستم در آغوشتون بگیرم و با خودم به یه جای دور ببرمتون.

At the start is interesting story at first n love the art design then things turned upside down n painful moment. I love haru n hook because there are my fav characters so far. There are happy n sad moment n I was about to cry T_T n want to tell but I cant is too painful. The female main character - I don't like her one bit - after what she did to haru n left with another guy who's the villain in this story.

This is the best book I have ever read. (Not really a "Book" but still) It made me cry so hard and I will read it so many times over. I wish I could get a paper copy. You will not regret reading it (Okay, you will for like... a few hour o even a few days but in the end, you wouldn't trade anything for having read this book)

There is not a single day where I don’t think about these characters. When people ask about the one book that has changed me in all ways, I point to this one. I have not gone through this much of an emotional turmoil since. The guttural sobs that this story evoked almost seem criminal. The one time I recommended this book, they were very angry with me after they finished. For that reason I am hesitant to recommend, unless you are in a headspace in which you can afford a couple heartbreaks. (Who am I kidding, you will never be prepared for this story!) If you are tempted, just know I warned you! … but really read this story please!

Non mi aspettavo un argomento così drammatico e un finale così triste dallo stile di disegno.

I lately read mangas because with 5 kids and a full time job, night time comes and I feel too tired to read actual books.
My only problem with mangas is that they rarely meet my standards. Except for 2.
One of these is "Days of Hana".

This manga is beautiful! It's full of tragedy and heart-breaking moments, I- a fully grown woman- bawled my eyes out reading several scenes! That has only happened to me once while reading a book and it lasted only for a few seconds. Here I cried for almost 2 hours straight, while pushing through the chapters that were breaking my heart into pieces. And I loved it because it was relevant, it sent a message and it was clearly necessary!
If you don't like your heart strings being pulled, don't read this manga, but if you do, reading this is a must!

It starts out innocently enough, there are a few questionable things happening in society, but since it's set in a completely different world, you don't question it too much. Until you do, and realize you should've been a lot more critical from the very beginning. It makes you look inwards and realize, you have some growing to do.

That is how well-written this story is.
Not only does the author perfectly portray how normalized these problem areas are, they also let the plot evolve you, meaning that you start off thinking "this is pretty light-hearted!", only to find out that light-hearted is not part of this manga's vocabulary.

And it makes 100% sense when you think back and realize what you read and how you did not bat an eye, when no; it was actually never light-hearted - not for one second.
The fact that the author managed to make you think slavery and racism is light-hearted (because that's how well its normalization is written into this manga) just proves how easily human beings are steered into accepting things we shouldn't accept.

And just as you "accept" the rules of society in this story, while being distracted by the romance plot going on up front, the author tears your perception down completely, revealing the true, ugly nature of what this society is.
The romance that you believed to be the main plot, becomes a secondary plot because that's where it should've in terms of importance from the very beginning.
That's the message. We are constantly being distracted to keep us from seeing what's actually wrong with society.

I saw so many people writing about it starting off as light-hearted and being upset at the end when it wasn't.
These people completely missed that point - that perfect execution of making the reader accept horrible things from the very beginning, then calling the reader out.
We are reading about SLAVERY, yet these people are complaining that the story isn't light-hearted enough. Are you serious?
This story is a masterpiece that requires you to be observant, but most of all, question your own morals.
I think that's the real reason why these people are mad, they're just not realizing it.

The story focuses on Haru, a werewolf boy who is the pet of Hana, a human girl his same age.
Haru is secretly in love with Hana, which is completely forbidden, and when young werewolves are given rights to attend school with their masters, Haru slowly starts realizing how unfair things are for werewolves in society, and the story continues to unfold from there on, introducing a lot of meaningful characters along the way.
It's incredibly well-written and I don't want to spoil anything so, I'll just end it here.

If you like heart-wrenching stories, forbidden love, significant plots, fighting for what's right, stories of sacrifice and tragedy, dystopian fantasies set in a modern society and stories that makes you question your own values, while still remaining humble, as it's not a complicated plot, don't hesitate. Read this manga, it's a simple masterpiece!

Read this for the angst. Can't say I like the story as a whole though.

"Days of Hana" fronts itself as a romance while highlighting important messages about racism, slavery and social hierarchy. But I feel like it was falling flat at times while rushing towards the end. There were scenes that should've impacted me more but didn't, while there are those that were being too over-the-top that I couldn't care about what's happening in the panel anymore. It was implied in the beginning that the story will have a dark turn, so I didn't mind *some* of the character deaths... but maybe if there was a build-up between the events instead of going from wholesome to shocking us with consecutive series of tragedies, it would've been times better!! Also, i understand the important message the author is trying to convey, but i find the relationship between the two mc's weird as heck (they're basically like siblings). Nonetheless, the ending made me feel a swirl of emotions even thought it felt unnecessary initially. And I commend that creative credits scene. It's not something I would recommend though. There are far better sad stories out there that carry the same themes.

Days of hana made me cry so much. I am new to the whole korean comic book scene but I have been enjoying most things I've come across. This was one of the first ones I read and It made the best impression. I even followed it for years making sure to read every chapter that came out that week. It follows a girl Named Hana and a werewolf named Haru. Werewolves are thought of as animals and ruthless creatures in this world so Haru must wear a control collar at all times, designed to keep werewolves in line. When in reality, werewolves are no different than humans, they just have the ability to turn into giant wolves. Society is divided on wolves and whether they deserve rights in society. Haru was found as a baby in the snow and raised with hana, she has a deep compassion for haru and wants him to experience things that she does. So she joins the fight for werewolf rights! This adventure is a long one but the story telling, heart, and art keep you hooked. I cried many different times reading this story through the years and more tears when it ended.

Ouch. I had no idea going in what this story was about Or that it was going to rip my heart out. Great writing, great art, great use of characters. Really showed prejudices and biases over a different race/culture/religion and the struggles they've had to face. It showes how they are precieved by a group of people holding them down. I felt I lived it with them instead of just having it thrown in my face as a bad thing. It make me uncomfortable in all the right ways. It was supposed to be uncomfortable. Once i realized what was going on, then it made me mad. It was eye opening. Really, really well done. I want my kids to read this. Any group of people oppressing another is never a good thing.

Essa obra é sem duvidas a melhor que eu já li, sua historia é realmente cativante quando começa a sua parte mais "interessante" onde ele faz criticas ao humanos mas mesmo assim não vira uma obra que lida com politica, eu em minha humilde opinião o indico para pessoas que querem ler uma historia de "romance" onde só o sentimento já demonstra o amor entre os personagens, não é bem uma historia feliz mas se vc quiser se sentir feliz e triste eu lhe recomendo essa obra(uma dica quando for ler o capitulo 105 coloque a musica megalovania vai atrapalhar um pouco mas é so pelo meme, se quiser pode deixar a luta inteira)

I loved this webtoon! My friend recommended it to me and my gods I'm grateful. There were some twists that were actually important to the story instead of the author just wanting to throw it plot twists because he could. It's a beautiful comic and made me c r y so much at the end-

Good story, but drags a bit. I think it was just once of those stories that really made me want to read more. But as the story went on it just made me too mad to finish. I dropped it and then got back into it when it was completed.

Holy shit. I'm devastated and bawling.

This started out really cute, then got grim, and then just flat out became tragic. Heartrending. I'm so sad.

A chilling and compelling example of how prejudice can really fuck with the world and your life.

Made me ugly cry really badly at the end.
