Something about Edith in that final epilogue disappointed me so much. Realistically she did and said almost nothing, but everything she did seemed so.... Immature? It really made it clear how little the character ended up growing. I feel like the original finale had me upset and confused, I don't even know if I feel anything after this epilogue I'm just disappointed
i'm so mad at the 'i remember when i used to fixate on being with attractive men i hardly knew, hoping that maybe one of these charming princes could save me from my loneliness. i'm older now.' quote because the way the story is written makes this statement simply not true. maybe i didn't read it right, maybe i need reading- comprehension lessons but to me edith may have grown a bit but she still looks like someone who chose a charming prince to save her from her loneliness. she simply went nowhere near the 'redemption' arc here descripted and it would have been better to recognize it instead of trying to push it down our throats like this.
We NEED to talk about the ending of Edith the webtoon. Cause it felt so off. I'm not going to hate on the work because someone work hard on it but it just felt so detached.
Anyway, we stan a woman who can look at a toxic person, forgive them, and walk away ✌🏻
Romance Comics for Adults
I love comics, and lately I’ve enjoyed mature looks on romance and relationships without it being bubbly high school drama with misunderstandings littering the plot and stories that really examine what it means to be in a relationship.
Unlucky in love Edith is strugglin when it comes to her adult life. She has few friends and is struggling financially as a romance novelist. Her love problems stem from trying to find Mr. Perfect which she believes comes in the form of Jack, a childhood crush that barely noticed her when she was a child. Then she meets Phillip, a bad boy model who understands her more than any man ever had.
It’s a love triangle romance, but it really focuses on deep issues like open communication between partners, struggling financially as an adult, and dealing with past trauma like being bullied as a child.

Imagine a society where a dating app which decides your match via the similarities in finger prints decides everything for you. Your career, success, education, and even health care! Beatrice ‘Bea’ Torres has ambitions of being of the first scientists to work on a mars colony, however in order to get the money to further her education out of the country, she has to register at LUFF to see how high her match score is.
Much to her surprise and to everyone, not only is her match at a high score of 97%, but has TWO matches with the same score!
Yes, this is definitely a love triangle set up, but there is much depth to it. It explores why people rush into romance while having an independent female lead who is more focused on her career goals than falling in love. It also has a dystopia society where people with low scores struggle with jobs, finances, and healthcare while the lofty high scores who use their numbers for elitism.
It also has an interesting side story of a lesbian forced into matching with a male partner to get the money for her mother’s healthcare.
My only comment is that it ends rather quickly. I think there could have been more story to tell, but it does tie up all loose ends by the last panels.

I love this webtoon. The artwork is beautiful and the characters are third dimensional and endearing. It’s a modern take of the Greek Myth, Hades’ taking of Persephone.
Hades, God of the Underworld, lives a lonely life as a social outcast among his peers and is trapped in a toxic relationship with a nymph. Until he meets bright, bubbly college student Persephone, the young Goddess of Spring. It’s the most unlikely of matches, but it has the most chemistry out of any romance I’ve seen in comics! And it’s not just Hades and Persephone stories, other gods have their own stories told about their own relationships.
It’s an adult take on falling in love between an older man and a younger woman (don’t worry, it’s nothing illegal, Persephone is 19 years old). Also, it takes on the themes of toxic relationships, sexual assault, trauma, and communication.

Beatrice ‘Bea’ Rosario needs a date for her sister’s wedding pronto! Her ex-girlfriend is going to be there and she can’t possibly show up without a date of her own! With no other choice, she summons a demon, makes a deal with him to attend the wedding as her date. Unfortunately, he tricked her into overlooking a clause in the contract. He’s her roommate until her heart has been fulfilled.
What begins as a hilarious romance romp, soon becomes a story of a depressed woman trying to find her way in the world. There’s some heavy punches in this comic I was no expecting. And it hits pretty close to home for me sometimes.
What I love about this webcomic is Bea is a bisexual plus size woman who is NEVER EVER told to lose weight to find happiness. There is one scene where a date tells her to ‘pick a side’ and he is quickly shut down for his rudeness and shortsighted views.
Discusses themes of mental health, bisexuality, toxicity from both family and partners. There’s a love triangle, but it serves as a contrast between a supportive partner and an abusive one.
