Killing Stalking - Reviews

I read this when I was 9 or 10, so I don't think my review will be all that good since it's been a while.

Killing Stalking has a very well thought out story. I'll give the author props; they had me hooked. But that's all I can say about that. The art is really nice, though. In the first couple of chapters, the art was...disgusting, and I hated it. After that, though, the art becomes more defined, which is always nice to see. The hard and dark colors Koogi used really set the tone for the story, haha. I have a love-hate relationship with Yoonbum and Sangwoo. While I hate Sangwoo for kidnapping, raping, and abusing Yoonbum, I also sort of have an understanding as to why he did it. In no way am I saying that his trauma excuses his actions; I'm just saying I can understand a bit of it. Like the kidnapping part, Yoonbum looks really similar to Sangwoo's mom. I even thought Sangwoo and Yoonbum were half-siblings for a good bit. Sangwoo is reminded of his mother and, for that reason, doesn't kill Yoonbum but kidnaps him. Considering what his mom did to him and how he feels towards her, it's understandable why he'd do that. As for the abuse, he learned it from his dad. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. There's no excuse for the rape though, that's something that can never be excused. As for Yoonbum, most people who like KS see him as a cute little guy. They ignore that he broke into someone's house and stalked someone for what I assume is around 4 years since military service in South Korea is 2 years, and he went to college or university. He's a bad person too. I'm not saying that he deserved to get kidnapped; I'm just saying he shouldn't have done that. I know that Yoonbum has Borderline personality disorder (BPD), and I have no right to say anything in that regard since I don't have BPD, nor am I neurodivergent, as far as I know. I'm not well versed in psychology, but I'm pretty sure most of his behaviors can be excused with BPD. That and him having Stockholm syndrome. Seungbae is probably the only "good" person in this story. While some of his actions are questionable, he did them with good intentions in mind.

Dark and snarky, this one sets the bar for what a horror manga should be. Sangwoo is an awful person, which is what makes him so enjoyable to watch, especially as he weaves dark jokes into the wild ride. These are two bad characters, brought together by the horrible things they do, who fall in love in the worst way, and despite everything, kind of make you root for them. The fact that I've read this one multiple times in the span of a few days and still can't get it out of my head is why it's 5 stars, but I'd literally give it ten or more if I could.

I loved this manga with all of me and personally i loved sangwoo as a character same with bum but towards the end bum got me really upset . the characters and art itself are amazing and well put together , they are also very attractive , the story i loved yes it may have some "love" but it is more on the horror side , it will keep you on your toes because its hard t predict what will happen next .

 the relationship between Sangwoo and YoonBum is abusive but soft at the same time , you see sangwoo torturing and beating up Yoonbum but then hugging and kissing him , i think this because neither of them know how to act or feel due to the way they were treated before in the past as kids and teens PLUS both Sangwoo and Yoonbum have different mental disorders ... personally i dont like how bum blamed everything on sangwoo towards the end , i believe bum stood their on his own ... he so many chances to get away and when the cops came he could hsve gotten hellp multiple times but also because towards the end bum still chases sangwoo soooo yeah .

But either way i recommend ....

i would not recommend to anyone who is easily triggered by blood , sexual assault, physical & verbal abuse or anything across those lines  ..!

I've been in love with this manga since ~2017, I watched it grow and develop the characters and story. It is very very graphic, so be warned of that. If you can handle it, it's a fantastic story with beautiful artwork and well-thought-out characters. I've re-read it more times than I can count and I never get bored. It's beautiful, graphic, heart-wrenching, and just so freaking cute all at the same time. It is a rollercoaster of emotions, throwing you between anger and huge smiles and happy crying back to anger and then pure unfiltered sobbing. 

I love this manga. It is one of my favorite pieces of media of all time. 

seeing all these people rating it 10 makes me sick to my stomach, this was shit.. and putting all the horrible things in this manhwa aside, the plot/story itself is horrible & boring.. it's only the art that is good, if you liked this manhwa then I suggest the nearest therapist
