I do not know why this is rated as low as it is honestly! As a victim of abuse, this comic depicted a lot of things that I have experienced. Lashing out because I don't trust people, afraid to tell my secrets, and debilitating panic attacks. I sent the chapter where she had a panic attack to my husband because it honestly meant the world to me that a comic depicted my experiences so perfectly. This is definitely a favorite of mine!

i very rarely review mangas/manhuas here but i felt the need to mention this one.
i read this a while ago and to be honest, the art style wasn't my favorite, but as i read more it grew on me. the story and plot is absolutely amazing. this is not the typical romance story, it covers a lot more than just the love story between two characters. i also liked the side characters and stories. i especially loved seeing the four main characters grow and change. anyways, i have read many many mangas and this is one of my favorite :)

TW: rape. (lots of mentions but not drawn)

Empecé a leerlo pensando que iba a ser un romance normal y dio un giro completo, tremendo.
Hay partes que me destrozaron leerlas porque sé que existen personas como la abuela de Lisa o la vendedora en la vida real. Me parece como que la autora investigó bastante del tema y supo reflejar no solo los sentimientos desde el punto de vista de la victima sino también desde el punto de vista perverso que pueden llegar a tener las personas.
Ahora solo quiero que me confirmen que la abuela de Lisa murió de una manera lenta y dolorosa. Se tenía que decir y se dijo.

I have no idea what Mango's Bone really means still, but I enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed this story! In the beginning I found the characters annoying and the story was a bit slow but once it started getting going it really went off and I couldn't put it down. TW: it covered some heavy topics but in a very respectful way and gave a good depiction of survior guilt, PTSD and the waves of emotions and ups and downs of manoeuvring through school and relationships with complex trauma. The art is also beautiful!

Woah I gotta say folks, this manhwa became dark really quickly when we get to know the character Lisa who is known to be the “bad girl” at the beginning story. When you first look at this, you’d think it’s just about the twin characters Jooin & Jooyul having a love triangle rivalry with the sweet Sobok (she is literally adorable guys) but as you really sink into this manhwa, you will feel that you have stepped into dark surprises along the way. I don’t want to give too much away otherwise I’ll be going into spoiler territory.

If you like happy stories turned dark, this is for you….

This series handles heavy topics very well. Gives off a realistic story for victims of abuse.
