See you in my review of the 19th Life Volume 4 • Britain Anime news

They kissed !!! They finally kissed!

Okay, let me turn a little back to explain. Seoha, Chowon, Jieum and Doyun made a journey together to the seaside city where Chooon’s family traveled. Here, both Seoch and Chouon are getting a chance to talk … more as they are forced to speak together until they can finally speak and express their feelings that were formed by Juon’s death, Chooon’s eldest sister and Seoha’s first love.

The sudden change of weather makes four of them stay in the city during the night, as it would be too dangerous to go to the city. All of them eventually remain in the Chooon Recreation House, but Jum cannot shake the bad feeling it has. She knows something should happen, but she doesn’t know. Fortunately (or maybe not), she does not have to wait much longer before the other shoes fall – Chovon calls Ji for knowing things about the house that a stranger should not know about. And this begins a spiral between two women – Jiu is wondering whether Chovon has learned of her secret, while Chovona begins to worry about how Jihi knows so much about her and Seochi and things that only a family should know about.

Returning to the city, they deal with doubts and suspicions, and Saya and Dyun deal with their own past. Dyun ends with a business meeting, turned into a high school reunion where his hooligans are present. Once again he was shown how he does not fit into them – including Seoha and Chowon – how his family does not go out of money. Seoch is forced to visit a family dinner with all his relatives who have inhibited him and ridiculed him because of his disability. They perceive this as an advantage for them, as they are more likely to become a company’s heir instead of a “broken” son.

This volume is quite difficult because it unpairs many injuries for our characters. While readers already had an idea of ​​Seoch’s past, in Volume 4, we better understand why Seoch is what he is and how he came out, despite his family. Unfortunately, he does not have the same loving family with whom Chouon and Dyun can boast: everyone is trying to lift each other to discredit the other in the eyes of the head of the company, the father of Seochi. In part, because of its high status, Saya was bullied all his life, and he had to fight his own battles, even as a child. On the other hand, Dyun has a wonderful family that consists of a mother and a young brother. However, he was ridiculed from high school because he was a scholarship student and now because he is Seochi Secretary. The relationship between two men is difficult. There are many more to unpack, and the author Lee Hy gives us hints at the drama that should come.

Instead, jieum and chowon deal with another situation: Jieum’s secret. The suspicion is there and Chouon plans to lift it with jieum. She will not talk about it in this volume, but I am almost sure that it will not take much more time. Interestingly, jieum will do when it faces future questions. Will she tell Choun the truth? What about Seoha? Now that he has resigned himself to Juym and Juon, how he reacts if he knows that they are the same person? The more I read this series, the more questions (okay, more like expectations). The best part of this Tom is that there is finally the development of a romantic relationship in one of our two favorite couples.

I really liked how the first four volumes in the series have to associate covers to show a romantic relationship between characters. This story of office novels is filled with drama, and with this volume we also get a possible hint of crime and secret that I am almost sure will be developed in the future. Illustrations continue to be on the “simplified” side from the point of view of the background, but with detailed focus on characters. The colors of art are more dim than other series in the same genre, but they help in “more difficult” topics discussed in history.

See you in my 19th life Lee Hy writes, and it was posted as a digital comic on Webtoon before turning into a K-Drama available on Netflix. Print volumes are published by Ize Press with Webtoon translation. Volume 5 has already come out.
