Questions are good things. They are there to get to know others and to find the common ground with each other, with the people we want to love. Well, I would think that the biggest thing I need to learn is to love myself. I think at least. I like lists, I make lists, mainly about anime and manga that I want to read and watch. And sometimes about American books too. My life does revolve around things that I consume. And I do not know if I am fine with that. I would like to fancy myself that I like philosophy, but in truth, I like the idea of philosophy. In the sense, philosophy means the love of knowledge, because we cannot know everything. So we need to start with things that we do not know, even though there are many famous figures in philosophy, I do not want to read from them. Because the biggest thing that I do not know if myself. And, as I am right now, I am more interested in filling the emptiness in me, if that makes sense. But I like questions. So, I went out and looked for que...
Liebling! is a manhwa written by Kim Nuruk, originally published on Toomics in 2018 and it is a still ongoing series that is being published and translated to English. The art is not something that I like, and the coloring is rather interesting. It often seems like every other manhwa's art style. I don't really like the bara art style, muscular men are not my niche. However, I will continue it.
It is hard to recommend it, I would like to say that if you give it a try you will figure out if you like it by chapter 3 or not.
Chapter 1 + 2 + 3 and kind of 4: The story is nothing that interesting, it is a classic "someone from the old world comes into our modern one" but this time it involves an older man, captain of the knights, Leopold. Leopold is serving Noah Sinsheim who is going to be the first King of the Romans from this bloodline, and he is getting married to Charlotte, who is considered a witch. Romance is in the air. However, Charlotte is being targetted by blood magic, and in an attack, Leopold accidentally gets transported into our world and he accidentally injures and curses Taehoon.
Chapter 4: We find out that the curse is a sexual one, cause why not. There were already some mature scenes involving nudity. Taehoon gets to see what's happening on the other side of the narrative. It is a nice way of communicating, but it seems a little bit random so someone needs to explain why that is happening.
Character note: I kind of start to like Leopold's character, and Noah's too. Leopold is clearly a noble knight who feels responsible for getting Taehoon cursed. And after Taehoon attacks him with this holly sword, I don't know if Leopold is cursed or not. Noah seems to care for Leopold too, trying to find him not knowing he is in the future. It does seem like he does it under threat, but I think he genuinely cares.
Score: 5/10
Character note: This is still a problem, Taehoon is not really a proactive character, it really feels like he is being dragged around by the plot. Even though Leopold is being dragged around it strangely doesn't feel like that.
Score: 5/10
For some reason, it is hard to read it, there is nothing wrong with the story, I think I had expected something else from it. My problem is with the execution, and I do take problems with the long-strip format. It always seems to be dragging down the pacing of the story, it is hard to get it right and Liebling! sadly suffers from this. I will be following it since I am quite interested where the story is going, but I do wish if it would pick the pace up.

Chapter 5 + 6: Charlotte is an actual witch and as it seems she is the one who will keep us in touch with the past on the other side. She explains that it seems that the curse was shared between Leopold and Taehoon. And it was her magic power that accidentally sent Leopold to the future. They can solve the curse and prologue their life by having sex with each other. There is a serial killer that was foreshadowed in the previous chapters lurking around who wants to break into Taehoon's house and kill both of them.
Score: 5/10
