a greatly important account of what it was like on the ground during the student protests in the 80s in Korea - and not just Seoul. translated well. the illustrations are pretty good too! incredibly heartwarming to see queer rep too. many more popular accounts tend to lack that sort of rep, and I'm very sure the queer community was actively participating in these protests.

my only issue with this was just how on the nose the final chapter was... I understand the idea of what they wanted to do but it felt so rushed and crammed in it's pages that it just lacked the impact it should've had. still, I'd recommend this to anyone who has any interest in Korea at all, both north and south. fuck the fascists 💜
