Thank you Netgalley and Humanoids Inc for a copy of Seoul Before Sunrise in exchange for a honest review!
Seoul Before Sunrise follows a young girl, Seong-ji, who has recently started college, but is stuck in the past, thinking about her past friendship with Ji-won.
This was a sad and simple short story centered around loneliness and loss of friendships. The artwork wa absolutely gorgeous and unlike any other graphic novel or manga I’ve ever read!
The plot and narration didn’t really stuck out to me though, and I think the story could have been elaborated on more. I didn’t love the ending; I definitely wanted to see more of Seong-ji ‘cause she was just a really nice girl.
Cute, lovely short story about queer heartbreak and discovery, and loss.
