The influence of Manga and Anime in the West

First off I'm a salmon avocado roll.

1. I really liked this story. I think its length was perfect, overall though I found it somewhat sad. Maybe it was because of how it was drawn, or because there for most of the story nothing good really happened I just found the whole thing somewhat depressing. This could also be because I'm ending my college time, I'm actually going to become a real adult that this story spoke to me. How you can't be a kid forever but also that you can. I don't totally know but I did really enjoy reading it.

2. I was definitely able to connect to the general theme of growing up that I found in the story. As artists, I feel like we walk a fine edge between adulthood and childhood all the best stories and imaginative ideas I think come from a place in our heads that we've always had but was most active during the younger years. I also related to how Ildeung experience with grades and expectations, though I never have been as intense as studying as he is, I do understand having to push past parental figures to follow a path that is more true to oneself. 

3. I think this would make a very good visual novel game. It would need a more branching structure but I thing discovering the characters through your own actions would be really fulfilling. Also, the style of art would look amazing with animation.

4. So I read this on the webtoons app on my phone, and just the layout and the drawing worked perfectly on a tall rectangle.  I could tell the artist made this with scrolling in mind with lots of long vertical compositions and type. I think it is really successful as a web-based comic.
