Hey guys what is up welcome back to my blog I’m so thankful that you guys took the time out of your day to read my blog post. Hope you all are safe and healthy. I was pretty disappointed with the ending of the other manhwa from this author titled Bastard. This one is also a great manhwa like the previous one, it even has a Netflix show. MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD.
The story starts with shut in high schooler Hyun Cha, a selfish jerk who spends his time spreading hate on the internet (yes MC is like most people on anitwt). Certain events force Hyun to move into a new apartment building and soon he is forced to deal with new circumstances and fight for his own life against monsters that ravage the world.
There are a significant amount of characters in this manhwa and while I’ll not lie and say that all of them are great, some of them are really good and others are simply average. Hyun Cha the MC is a selfish jerk or that is how he seems at first but as we explore his self loathing and depression we get to see just how tough he is mentally. His entire story is amazing and this is definitely not something I want to spoil anymore. These characters are all great however if I talk more about them then it will take away from the enjoyment of the series just know that these are great characters who all go through their own arcs and develop. It’s a good journey that will humanize the characters and make you empathize with them.
Like the previous work, the author knows how to set the atmosphere well with the panel placement which was a good thing in Bastard as well. The author manages to land all the deeply psychological moments exceptionally well and that is one of the best things about this series. The character designs are also good and variable enough that you feel the creativity. The action is also good because every fight is intense with high stakes and every situation always leaves you in anticipation of which side the victory will belong to. Parallels between the characters are also really well developed and shown. The series also handles some pretty mature themes like the degradation of humans in tough situations, survivors guilt and many other things. As for the bad things there were moments that made the pacing of the story seem off because the start is really slow and then it picks up.
The series blurs the line between humans and monsters to make you question the one thing that every good series that invovled monsters makes you question, “What defines a monster and what defines a human?” This is a question that is asked multiple times throughout the manhwa and in the end it provides the answer itself.
With 141 chapters and a finale that wraps up the story beautifully Home Sweet Home is definitely a must read manhwa. The depictions of violence and mature themes might not be for all but those that can digest it you will absolutely fall in love with the series. I will definitely rate this series a 10/10
So that is it for this post guys hope you got some value from this. Thank you guys for reading to the end hit me up on Instagram and Twitter with your thoughts and if you have any ideas on what I should write about. Stay safe. Thank you again and I’ll see you all next week.
