If you’re prepared to dive into your subsequent favourite romantic comedy with gangsters and a bit of little bit of spice, this love story is an important alternative.
As a long-time reader, I’m all the time hoping to discover the subsequent sequence that has me hooked from begin to end. I’m not going to lie, however once I began studying The Dangerous Convenience Store, I advised myself I might take a break to work on one thing else, however I returned to it instantly. The story and artwork on this sweet and spicy sequence are by 945.
The story revolves round a university pupil, Yeo Eui-joon, who works the graveyard shift at a comfort retailer. After working for a month, he learns that the comfort retailer is one which gangsters like to frequent. While getting yelled at by a buyer, he needs somebody would give him a style of their medication. Thankfully for him, Beom Gunwoo, a tall, hunky gangster steps in. Gunwoo purchases alcohol and cigarettes, after which he’s on his approach, however not earlier than Eui-joon embarrasses himself.
We get scenes of Eui-joon going to his lessons and speaking to his mates. In one among these scenes, we be taught that Eui-joon has a crush on his good-looking and easygoing classmate, Yoon Hyunwoo. He doesn’t assume something will ever occur between them, however sooner or later, he sees Hyunwoo getting shut to one other man, and Eui-joon begins getting his hopes up that Hyunwoo may also be desirous about males.
After Eui-joon finds out that Hyunwoo is in a relationship, he tries to distance himself from Hyunwoo. However, when Eui-joon sees Hyunwoo the subsequent day, Hyunwoo follows him all day, making an attempt to get his consideration. In their dialog, Hyunwoo asks him what’s improper with liking two individuals concurrently. After a foul day on the comfort retailer, Eui-joon runs into Gunwoo and begins getting emotional.
When it comes to romance, I do know I’m having fun with a sequence once I can’t cease smiling and am blushing together with the characters. The Dangerous Convenience Store leans into the gangster trope, portraying Gunwoo as this scary-looking man who possible does shady issues — and his being drawn as such a beefy man makes it a lot funnier to see him flustered when he’s jealous. The sequence builds up to an intimate second between them, and Gunwoo performs how I imagined he would (wink). Gunwoo additionally made a remark after the truth that makes me assume they could be exploring the subject of sexuality extra in future volumes.
VERDICT: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars (Highly Recommend). This was a kind of sequence that caught my consideration from the very starting, and I didn’t need to cease studying till I completed it. The solely components that weren’t my favourite have been when the story wasn’t specializing in Eui-joon and Gunwoo, not as a result of these components weren’t properly written however as a result of I couldn’t anticipate extra interactions between Eui-joon and Gunwoo. This sequence might not be for everybody, because it does have mature content material, however I can’t wait to get a bodily copy and to proceed the sequence with future releases.
