I love him so fucking much...

Hey there! We’re so glad you managed to nab one before they sold out (so fast!!!). 

hopefully in the coming week! there were some issues with the proof print that needed to be sorted out, and the following back-and-forth with the printing company lost us a little time

thank you all for your patience!

Killing Stalking is a…..very different manhwa to say the least. I’d just like to make a couple points to the fandom cause i feel this piece is going garner a lot more attention the more it’s updated, and i want everyone to be aware-

1) this is NOT your usual manga/manhwa/webcomic. it’s just not. any expectations you have can be thrown out the damn window, and allow me to explain why-

Manga with sexually/physically/emotionally abusive relationships whether it’s with a homosexual or heterosexual couple, do not address the deeper conflicts that would come up in reality.

Just as well, with reality comes many triggering subjects such as abuse, mental illnesses, etc. The story very much delves into the psyches of the two main, multi-dimensional characters, each twisted in their own way.

So basically, VERY TRIGGERING. VERY EASY TO GET TRIGGERED. PLEASE BE AWARE.

2) Violence plays a big role not only in the story itself, but in the relationship between the two characters. There are multiple scenes that include blood, bruises, multiple torture methods, etc. Not only that, but each scene is depicted vividly-from the environment, to the color scheme to the character designs, it’s all made to give off a certain dark, suspenseful, and dooming feeling.

And as one who reads/watches the psychological/horror/gore genre often, i can tell you that this piece genuinely unnerved me just because of how realistic it seemed.

Put simply, there are no sweet scenes, and even when it may look like it, there will always be a dark toxicity lurking behind.

3) Lastly, I’ll address the core of the story, the relationship itself between Sangwoo and Yoonbum. To put it bluntly, their relationship is UNHEALTHY, ABUSIVE, TOXIC, AND EVEN DOWNRIGHT DISGUSTING-

But what many fail to see is-that’s the point.

There is no grand plot creeping around the corner, no other conflict that needs to be addressed, no love triangle, nothing-

It’s just about two mentally ill people in a terrible situation that keeps going around and around and around-

And it is tragic.

Yes it’s a thriller and it’s suspenseful, but most of all it is a tragedy, so before you begin the discourse and shouting and yelling let me say something-

quoting @yoonbumprotectionsquad in this post: https://yoonbumprotectionsquad.tumblr.com/post/155231027484/dont-romanticize-sangwooxyoonbum ‘the series romanticizes’ the relationship it self. That’s the point.

The point is to have realism and pain and depict a truly, unhealthy relationship where we see both partners struggling (one more so than the other, but still) with their own heads and emotions.

People will write and draw and talk about very explicit content because that is the story-it is addressing the toxicity and wrongness.

Now, for people who defend certain characters actions and try to put a positive spin on the original plot without prior information, warnings of an AU, etc-just. educate them? idk honestly just do whatever to those people.
