So much spelling mistakes. Missing “ff” “fl” “fi” and so much more from words since chapter 120 to the end. It’s good but you have to stop to figure out what letters are the words missing and it takes you out of the story.
In my view... The story might just be a one-shot, but every word carries a deeper meaning. For instance, their feelings are compared to the things around them. When their parents married, they became siblings. Even though they aren't blood-related, their love is considered forbidden. I'm not usually a fan of tragic or sad endings, but I find this story intriguing. Perhaps the author wants us to use our imagination and interpret the deeper meanings in every word. I hope there will be a sequel that delves more into the characters' perspectives... I want to know if their love will develop further or remain as brotherly and sisterly affection...
When I began this one-shot, I immediately thought: "Wow, the art is fantastic." It's stylish and anatomically accurate. However, after finishing it, I realized I had no clue what the story was about. When someone explained it to me, I said: "Oh... I would have never guessed." Perhaps I'm just not very sharp, but I truly didn't understand the story at all.
<p>I found it incredibly saddening. I truly wish there had been more to the story, perhaps a happier conclusion. The narrative leans heavily on metaphors to convey much of its meaning. However, I adored the artwork; it has a distinctly Korean aesthetic, which I favor over the typical shojo manga style. There isn't much character development, but considering it's a one-shot, that's understandable. Despite the lack of detailed character insights, the writing still evokes empathy for the characters, showcasing the author's skill. I enjoyed it, even though I generally steer clear of sad stories.</p>
I truly enjoyed this manhwa. You can't interpret the words' literal meaning because it heavily relies on figurative language and symbolism.
Let me clarify - this manhwa isn't really a conventional story; it's more like a secret being whispered.
It's enigmatic, yes, even the title itself is an analogy that suits the two protagonists perfectly. The opening lines are also used as a metaphor for something you can never obtain no matter how desperately you wish for it.
Certainly, the main focus wasn't romance, but rather the unspoken love harbored deep within. The protagonists embrace their feelings for each other without internal conflict often seen in other mangas, such as "I can't be by his side" or anything similar.
Their acceptance of the reality of their situation, combined with the use of figurative language to express the purity and depth of their love, demonstrates that even unspoken love holds immense beauty.
My immediate thoughts after finishing this were, "Wow. This is a masterpiece."
The story revolves around love, featuring a brother and sister who are in love as a man and a woman but cannot be together due to being siblings. However, they aren't blood-related since the girl's mom remarried the guy's dad.
The artwork is impressive, yet I felt the mangaka could have utilized the space more effectively. Backgrounds were occasionally omitted, which left me feeling something was amiss. Additionally, the girl's hair color fluctuated between black and white, almost making me think she wasn't the same character initially.
The characters are somewhat challenging to understand, given that it's a oneshot. I struggled to fully grasp them, although I picked up on nuances like their playful teasing of each other. Nonetheless, the core message comes through clearly—that they are in love but obstructed by their parents' marriage. Their feelings of sadness and longing for freedom to be together are conveyed exceptionally well.
The overall enjoyment was quite good. With only 24 pages, it packs a lot of story without feeling rushed. I've read other reviews and don't understand why some couldn't follow the plot. If you read the summary, you'll be fine.
Overall, it's a pleasant oneshot with art as its primary strength. The symbolic meaning behind the title is clever—it essentially sums up the story: a cat that loves a fish. Cats eat fish, right? Thus, they can't be together. I recommend reading this manga even if you're short on time because it's so brief. I finished it in 3-5 minutes and found it truly worthwhile.
