I Never Thought I’d See Chibis In This Story
Oh gosh… I love them and all this so much.
Director Lee! Will You Be My Valentine?
Missing Love: The Marrying Man Due In English TODAY!
Well we just screamed down the chat… there was no hint, no news. Last year we were crushed when word got out that Missing Love was rejected at Lezhin, for get this, ‘being too dark’.
We at Digital Juicy were furious. The scanlations for this are blessed with a skilled and loving translator, but we had hoped for an offocial release. That Lezhin would reject this for being ‘too dark’, when some of the stories published are ‘dark dark’, seemed erroneous.
We speculated on the politics involved, as for the longest while, it has been very clear and apparent that Lezhin’s English team truly hates the English audience. And while we arrived at no conclusions, we all hoped she’d try another platform. A year later, this is what I just woke up to. Due today!
This story is pain… it is not fluffy. There are no chibis. The story is dark. But I will fight everybody in BL for Lee Geom, and increasingly Wooyeon (who I have been cussing for a long time, but is proving himself worthy). The smut is smutty, but the tragedy is tragic, so this is not titillating, it’s heartbreaking.
No character in BL makes me cry like Lee Geom. What a beautiful heartbreaking boy… do not go into this story expecting anything remotely heartwarming or fulsome. This is a grim and gritty story and if you’re anything like me, it will be hard to look away. Don’t look away.
The art is exquisite, with a style that often reminds me of Byeoduck’s, with a dark palette with only hints of warmth when Wooyeon is on screen.
The writing thus far has been tight, evocative and without ease up… it’s pressure in your heart from the first chapter.
And Lee Geom is beautiful… incredibly beautiful, even though he breaks my heart.
