wow this is such a beautiful and well written post. The way you expressed the grief felt with the series ending is so real, I'm also extremely sad to see this one go after becoming so attached to the characters so you are definitely not alone. The thought of never knowing if Eunyung made it to those apartments in Seoul makes me both sad and hopeful for him since I know if anyone can make it, it's definitely him. The way you describe the characters is so moving too! The fact that you don't agree with all of their actions makes them feel that much real. Thank you so much for mentioning me!! I'm glad you liked my art, Thank you sooo much and Have a Nice Day~!

i didnt read the last chapters since i discovered it was the end (but i was spoiled by tumblr lol)... i didnt want to believe it... i want to still look forward to new chapters of No Home :(

For the last few years eunyung and haejoon have been my companions. I healed a little while following the story of eunyung, feeling like its ok to be angry and wanting revenge on your family and the society that continues to want to keep you in a "house" where you are mistreated. How the world isnt made for children at all, the absolute unfairness of it all. That you can choose to keep going, and if you do so its ok to keep your distance with what hurts you.

I healed too with haejoon, who came to terms with the fact that he will always be overcome with sadness and grief from time to time, and when that happens he can only let himself feel and wait for it to pass, and try to look forward to the next day.

Honestly this manwha was the best ever, and i read a lot of story. I couldnt read this manhwa as a form of escapism because it was too real. It pulled strings in my heart i didnt know i had, made me question a lot of things about myself, about others, about my relationship with others. It made me have painful discussion with a few people. Following this manhwa, most of the time, was really unpleasant lol. I hated then loved eunyoung, I liked and then disliked haejoon (yeah sorry haejoon, i think you can be really cruel and stupid and i wanted to strangle you a few times in the last arcs (i would NOT be friend with that guy lol) -thats why this character is so amazing). But i felt so much while reading it i wouldnt trade it for anything. It was funny, it was dumb, it was deep, it was enraging and healing, but most of all it was sincere. The most sincere depiction of what being a person in a deeply flawed society is, and how there's happiness even while surviving.

It was so frustrating to see the manhwa go in a direction i didnt want it to go ! I wanted it to become my cozy refuge, where every problems are magically solved, where haejoon and eunyung ends up understanding and loving each other in a cliché way, where theres a new home with my *fave charas* and its a series of feel-good interactions. Instead the problems kept pilling up, most of them didnt have a satisfactory conclusion, eunyung and haejoon kept hurting each other and distancing themselves. Haejoon just cut contact with his father without knowing what were his nefarious motives or without this guy facing any consequences, we dont know if eunyung's parents will keep bothering eunyung unchecked, we dont know if they're going to be happy and rich, or if, realistically, as orphans without generational wealth and deep traumas, they're going to end up in a shitty life situation.

And i couldnt thank wanan enough for this. They didnt take the easy way, the feel-good way, the way that would have given them a probably bigger fandom so a bigger source of money. I'm amazed by how they managed to hold this whole story so perfectly. Not a single misstep. Everything they draw was where it should have been, every action from the characters were understandable (and frustrating lol), the fucking subtlety of the developing relationships, no deus ex machina and no miserabilism. I didnt always agree with wanan's ethic or what i perceived of it (i think stealing or being violent is ok depending on the context, i dont think working hard to earn money is a virtue) but i respect how they choose to present it. I didnt talk about the other characters because honestly they didnt move me as much (except marie), but i love them so much too. I felt sad that eunyung and haejoon didnt become best friend 5ever (or even lovers hehe) but honestly, understandable lol. If i was one of them i WOULDNT become close with the other at all, so its kinda amazing they could still find this level of mutual understanding.

In short, wanan is an amazing story teller.

And an amazing image-composist (have no idea how to say this in english). The artstyle doesnt look like much, but this gave wanan a wide graphic range to convey emotions that wouldnt have been possible with a more sophisticated style i think -how will i forget the red swirlings mixing with eunyung skin ? The expressions, the choice of colors, the choice in showing something in particular without giving a clear explanation on why (often haejoon's surprised or contemplative face, which made me re-read chapters a few times to try to understand what was happening in his big head). It didnt feel like wanan thought their readers were stupid, nor did they play the fake-deep style. It was perfectly balanced.

And so even if i didnt read it, i have no doubt the end will be the same. Im so sad they decided to end this manhwa, but i know prolonging it would have been greedy and that ultimately, the manhwa would have suffer for it. Some authors do that : they have a popular series going on, and for whatever reason they keep writing new chapters without a clear goal and so the story becomes diluted, messy, useless. I love when they do this, because i can say goodbye to a story progressively as my interest in it wans, without feeling sadness or loss. But it makes me not think of the story at all in the future, since everything that was good about it became buried in new shitty chapters. Because wanan didnt do that, i know that i would think of no home for a long while, maybe forever,

,like i really lost companions when no home ended actually. Because it really, really hurts, knowing i wont be seeing new faces of the no home characters anymore. I know it sounds probably stupid ; i feel genuine grief here lol. I want to know what will happen to them, if they are alright, if they found a place in the world... if there is something to look forward after all, and i really dread not having answers every monday anymore. and the fandom is so small i cant comfort myself by re-entering the no home world every week or whatever... does anyone else feel this way ToT ? maybe i should participate myself but well,, i wouldnt know where to begin...

And saying that ! I'm almost never on this blog, i dont really have socmed accounts, i dont participate in fandoms at all. But I spent a looot of time reading and watching people who does -without being connected or interacting with posts or fanfics at all. AND i really want to thank you all for giving me so much material to chew, posts that made me think, fics that made me smile, drawings that inspired me, witnessing interactions that made me laugh. I was and i probably will continue to be a ghost on socmed, but i really want you to know that you had an impact on me and i was looking forward to your new posts (and will continue to!).

Goodbye, Home.

"Have a Nice Year" - Baek Eunyung

It's official, No Home is over. Whatever word I use to describe how this Manhwa has impacted me would be a complete understatement.

This comic has helped me through so many mental health issues. Its helped me accept myself and my situation better. Seeing Haejoon slowly help Eunyung over the course of 4 long hard years made me look forward to seeing a new week. Seeing Eunyung reassure Haejoon after he was having visions of his mom, seeing Haejoon defend Eunyung from the store clerk, seeing Juwan bravely knock on Eunyung's door while trembling, seeing Marie stand up to both her brother and father, seeing Hara relentlessly follow her passion, seeing Minju insert herself into the group. Every single scene has meant the entire world to me.

Seeing situations I've personally been through reflected through such a fun cast of characters made me optimistic for my future. Suddenly, I dont feel so alone. Suddenly my goals don't seem so outlandish. Suddenly those apartments in Seoul look really nice right now.

I'm still going to be facing hurdles in life but this time Haejoon wont be there to cheer me up Monday nights. I'll definitely revisit this comic over and over again. Until every image is burned into my retina, I will miss no home endlessly.

The impact of feeling seen is a great one and I hope everyone who is feeling sad realizes that we're lucky to have experienced this comic which a group of like-minded individuals. I will miss you all as well.

Happy healing everyone! I hope you can look at spring and think of Haejoon and Eunyung :) !

venting about loneliness in writing

I personally love writing about people with anxiety, depression, or solitude. It’s my guilty pleasure! Some stories I recommend with those themes are

No Home

Hardcore Leveling Warrior

The Boxer

Efforts Never Betray

I love reading about characters that I can relate to. But for me it’s really hard to find stories I can relate to even though the main theme deals with loneliness or mental health issues. I learned that the reason is because some people write as if the main character knows things are gonna get better.

it’s like the opposite of dramatic irony. The character acts like things are gonna get better as if they already know it will. That’s why I can appreciate stories that aren’t afraid to let their characters hit rock bottom multiple times before they’re able to actually get better.

That’s what growth is. That’s why there’s always a disconnect with most stories that deal with those themes. If the character had the ability to get better the entire time, why haven’t they done so already?

I wish more writers would understand that once you reach that low, you believe that that’s the only place you’ll ever belong. I wish there were more stories that understood this

[jjd5426]

I think the point of these chapters will be how misery loves company, like when we see Dongbum (lol) and Eunyung it's obvious how that comes into play but with Haejoon its a bit unclear.

So far we haven't really seen much of Haejoon from this arc because its been from Eunyung's perspective. Maybe it's just me but i feel like Haejoon is kinda drifting apart from Eunyung cuz he's healing and their relationship won't have as much emphasis if both of them are doing fine and dandy.

When Haejoon's dad comes I kinda labeled him as being bad automatically because thats how the adults have been in this story so far. but the other reason is because if Haejoon is doing bad in one way or another, Haejoon and Eunyung will get their connection back.

Kind of like a trauma bond (?) Anyways, this story has been my comfort story for the past 4 years so I think Wanan is planning on ending it by showing both Eunyung and Haejoon not needing that connection anymore. Thats why he's been hanging out with so many new people and getting happier.

As a reader, his happiness is like a double edged sword, of course I want him to be happy and make lots of friends, but it also means that there won't be a need to tell the story anymore.

Thats why this arc has been sending me so on edge and why i kinda want haejoon to not be okay. I am gonna miss my friend Haejoon so much ;; but he deserves to heal

happy healing to everyone else too who might need it

[jjd5426]

this thing always reminded me of eunyung

[jjd5426]

wait so the reason Haejoon was so touched and why Eunyung was so embarrassed wasn't just because he was studying, but because that was the book Haejoon gave to Eunyung?

Yeah this manhwa is gonna be the death of me

[jjd5426]

After watching pyscomedian I realize how much better the earlier seasons are. They had so many set changes, newer characters, more world building. Now they’re always on some random roof or street of Paris.

Also their TEAMWORK!! Both Ladynoir and Adrienette were so healthy this episode :( I love when Adrien gets to be a normal teenager

I miss this 😭

My boy Agreste is depressed

I think i’ve lost my mind why am i so obsessed with this game ;; @gb-patch 

[jjd5426]

Yo wtf

⬆️this is not okay. Soobin has expressed in the past he doesn’t want to be sexualized. Legal or not 😐
