Manga Review 10 God of Bath

It's a beautiful journey of self discovery spiced up with a lot of humor and overly serious shirtless guys. Ok do I have your attention?

Every now and again you need to take a break from all the serious wear and tear of everyday life and kick back with a funny manga. Look no further, you've found it!

{To avoid summarizing which can be the least fun part sometimes I'm not going to have spoilers}

If you're looking for a manhwa that seems to have absolutely no relevance whatsoever to your life and you don't mind cocky characters you need to read this. It's great. It's on Webtoon (I love Webtoon. I live there scrolling through Discover and stuff), it's completed, and it's only 30 chapters. 30 quality chapters you can easily binge.

You might be thinking to yourself: Self, why would I want to read a manhwa with a title so weird? Well, Self, I think you should read the manhwa because you can't judge a book by its cover. It seems really weird and somewhat strange at times, but trust me it's worth it in the end. Heo Sae might be the cockiest guy, but he's really hilarious at the same time. You never know what parts of yourself you might see in one of these characters. It's one of those things that you just have to try to really know if you like or not. I'd say it's kind of an acquired taste since it's basically all in a bathhouse and about scrubbing dead skin...but it's super hilarious. I live for Heo Sae's selfies.

All amusements aside I think that this manhwa might help some people because it's really about letting go of societal expectations and just living for what you want to live for. At the end it's a bit vague if you haven't been paying attention, but if you have it's a beautiful farewell. I think the most beautiful endings aren't the ones that give you a pretty package and open it in front of you, waiting expectantly for the reaction they want; the best endings are the ones wrapped nicely just waiting for you to open and purely enjoy.

If you couldn't tell already, this is a great manhwa to give a whirl. It's short, sweet, and has a great message. Trust me, if you're reading this you have time to go read God of Bath.

(Also I heard they made it into a movie so :3 (omg I just looked at the movie and the cast and they are FINE AS HECK (brb gonna go watch the movie)))

Now just imagine them...as real people
