Okay, I swear, soon I will make another baking blog post. Soon. I promise. *college apps scream in neglect*

Gah, I don't even know if I can do this one justice if I'm being completely honest. It was so great. I never considered myself to be a hardcore feminist, but now after reading this I might have to change my mind.
It was so amazing. All the girls were kickass. They're all so powerful in their own ways and yet they never lose that 'teenage girl' vibe. I, as a teenage girl, totally related to them (not the fighting though). I think the hype over this Webtoon was well worth it. This creator poured their heart and soul into this for 5 years okay. FIVE YEARS. And it really shows. It's filled with diverse characters and a unique plot. It follows the antics of a rich girl, a poor boy, a flirtatious girl, and a candid girl (Moonyoung ily). It shows the journey of the poor boy from a submissive pushover to someone who fights back against the wrongdoings of others and stands up for what he believes in. It shows the humanity and struggles that follow the extreme expectations of a big company CEO's daughter. It shows how even when you pour your heart and soul into loving someone, sometimes it can't be forced and something better comes along. And it shows most importantly that women are strong, they are powerful, and they are beautiful. That's the main takeaway from this Webtoon. These girls should not be messed with. They may be average teenage girls in that they all worry about love, but at the same time they're way more than that. They're more than pretty faces. They're more than extremely good fighters. They're so multidimensional that listing every one of their character traits would take days. The creator really poured their soul into making these characters so dimensional and so deep that it would take so long trying to understand each of them at a fully comprehensive level (but to be honest, who's going to do that? This isn't AP Lit, this is FREAKING AWESOME Webtoons). With some comics and mangas there are some dull moments. Not so with this comic. It's full of a lot of everything. There's some romance arcs. There's some angry, vicious fight arcs. There's some sub arcs with side characters. You get the gist. But the real point here is that it's not just a romance or an action or a slice of life Webtoon. This is a masterpiece that incorporates different elements to be this compelling and utterly engaging.
It would be easy to read it through in one sitting. Even though it's 260 chapters it would be a breeze to read through. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope that others will find it and be enraptured like I was reading through it. Also it's really good fitness motivation, seeing these girls working hard to become stronger. There's just so many good things that you really just have to read for yourself to be immersed in the atmosphere of Wild's High School and the antics of its charismatic students.

Manga Review 6 The Stories of Those Around Us
I am so so soooo sorry for anyone that checks up on this child of mine. I've been so sleep deprived that blogging was one of the last things on my mind. T^T I just wanna pass high school, okay? Anyways, in the midst of being stressed I decided to pick back up this manga? Manhwa? *shrugs*
{Spoilers}
This Webtoon is adorable. I honestly completely adore Webtoons in general. Lots of them are in color, the art is amazing, the story lines are epic goals, and there's no ads! How could it get any better? If you aren't already using Webtoons then gogogo sign up! (Not sponsored btw but I wish)
I have to say that this is a very realistic Webtoon. The plot follows these three girls: one that's a sensible woman that doesn't understand love, one that's in a relationship that's lacking love, and another trying to find her place in society with a loving boyfriend at her side. All three of them seem very relatable and realistic, just like anyone you might meet on the street. I think that's why this particular comic really resonated with me. I think anyone could find themselves in any one of these characters.
It's beautiful the way that they all grow. It's wonderful to see Jung-A realize that her relationship isn't working out and being strong enough to break up with her boyfriend for both of their benefits. It was painful, but also very raw and human. When Mira goes on that blind date and ends up falling for Peace I couldn't help but cringe at her awkwardness that's reflected in any human being that's being honest with themselves. And Summer. Oh Summer. Even though she has the perfect boyfriend she's drawn to a guy that is in a relatable situation. But then she ends up staying with the perfect guy. Although this isn't exactly a perfect solution it really does reflect real life. We often times want to say that we're the bigger person, that if we were in that situation you would do this or that when in actuality all of us want to play the hero but never really muster the courage to go through with it. This Webtoon is amazing at showing us our own humanity by illustrating it in the lives of others.
I really recommend you read this Webtoon. It's only 60 chapters and completed. You know what that means don't you? :3 IT MEANS YOU CAN MARATHON IT IN ONE SITTING! Get hyped. That's when you know to just drop everything because this Webtoon is that good. Honestly all the girls are so lovable and so relatable. The way the author paced the chapters was amazing. You never got lost and you always felt included in their thought process and little meetings they have. There was a good mix of fluffy and plot. It was just overall a melting pot of love for this comic. Read it. Just read it. It won't take a lot of time and you'll walk away feeling the bliss of seeing your (figurative) children grow up and develop as adults and transition into the weird realm which is romance.
