I didnt mind the age gap or the weirdness of this story but this but these two brothers pissed me off so bad 😭 I really just wanted it to be over. And the redemption arg from big bro was nothing fr he could have died and I wouldn’t have minded at all. Anyway Main couple was sweet but I didn’t particularly feel anything for them besides that.

it’s kinda creepy that taehyuk waited for a kid to grow up. also creepy that he fell in love with a twenty one year old in a eleven year olds body.every time they hugged or hangyeol blushed it freaked me out. however if i ignore that(really hard tbh) it was an okay read. i think the yandere brother was a bit weird. once you get why it kinda makes sense. the art was beautiful. so yeah an okay read.

oh and this is a review for the completed one the on tapas

I'm interested in the plot and I love Scarlet Beriko's art. I am a little nervous about the fact that he's trying to get close to his partner while he's an 11 year old, but so far it hasn't been weird. The brother seems like he'll be kind of a scary character and I'm curious if something deeper is happening with the death and the time-travel. I'm looking forward to reading more.

CW: death of an animal

Scarlet Beriko is one of my favorite creators because she always takes risks - and they often pay off. This full-color time loop story about a man who goes back in time to save his lover (who naturally doesn't believe him) is equal parts emotional and entertaining, and, I have to say, absolutely nails the horrible feeling of losing a beloved pet.
