If I could some up this story in a few words then I would use freakish, dark, depressing at times. I think it fucked with my brain.  Usually whenever I read, I alternate between reading a light and dark read one after another so I don't get too happy or distressed. But the previous two stories before this were dark too so it did a number on me. That could be one of the reason why I had such a hard time being into this story.  Enough about me... For now and focus on this story. If I talk about the title, I think it suit the story well.  The storyline was good. I thanked the heaven that Kim Hwon was NOT the begger and woojin didn't end up with his brother.. Ugh.. Step brother. He had some screws loose in his head. Though the two main characters are fucked in the head too but atleast I like them. So thank you author.  I think the character building was not deep. There gave me an impression of made in breeze but I liked them.  Kim had his head bashed in.. Once again but I think this time he had it coming for him with all the teeth he pulled from others just because of woojin. So I didn't feel bad for him. But the first time was awful. It had me in tears. Though I felt hurt that woojin left him But in retrospect I would have ran away too. Didn't want my head to get bashed in after all. Hehe.  Overall, it would have been a good read if my brain was not already I'm a dark place. I think I would come back to it in some months and maybe understand it better than this time.  I would recommend it to folks who like their main characters a bit twisted.

WOW. I've read many many mangas including killing stalking (10/10), but this is the frist time I took the time to write a review. I loved this so much I just had to. It made me feel so many things, and both characters I connected with and understood. So much trauma and pain that was constainly being ran away from. So powerful. So good. Wow. Amazing story and art. I want to kiss whoever wrote this. The ending was perfectly written as well.

A revenge story served from one psycho to another psycho.  Characters:  Woojin- Starts to become self-destructive after one incident in middle school where he abandoned his friend Hwon who was getting beaten up by a beggar, 'twas a traumatising day that was amplified by his sister's suicide. After this he began the pattern of screwing around with dudes then running away coz it's already part of his fucked up habit. Dis is like his form of "escaping" since he doesn't wanna remember that incident. Likes being chased after, Hwon is that deviant amongst the countless dudes he had fucked with that comes back to bite him. That soon turned him into the one chasing after Hwon.  Hwon- His world revolved around Woojin ever since they were young and still only followed him even after gaining popularity in school. Is a scheming, manipulative fella who planned out the events to fuck with Woojin's mind.  Jongjin- Woojin's stepbrother, underdeveloped character, a discount Hwon but less extreme in his ways of stalking his beloved brother. Like Hwon, he also schemes, but despite the efforts everything still backfires in the end.  -Revenge, serve or be served
