Thank you to the author and NetGalley for giving me a review copy.
This was a really funny, light-hearted read about a guy who takes all the names off their group project because the others haven't contributed to it. Which then devolves into a 'rivalry' with a designer, who is in all his classes and who he needs to work with. The illustrations are amazingly done and I loved the video game-like illustrations.

The college vibes are spot on in this! I could relate to Sangwoo being like "y'all didn't do any work on this group project, so no credit for you!" He's an amusing character to me, but he definitely rubs his classmates wrong with his refusal to compromise on anything, ever. Meanwhile, Jaeyoung is the charismatic golden boy who can't get over the fact that Sangwoo never remembers him or treats him the way he's used to. They get off to a bad start and it keeps getting worse as Sangwoo refuses to give, and Jaeyoung makes it his mission to annoy Sangwoo and shake him up. It's definitely over the top but also really amusing, and I can't wait to see how their antagonism shifts into something else. I enjoy the art style and character designs!

I've read this entire story before but I come back to it every once and a while. I just love how different they both are from your typical m/m romances. Book one only contains the enemies to lovers set up and has the end at more amicable terms. It's a slow burn but worth it.

Thank you NetGalley for the copy Semantic Error Vol. 1, these are my honest opinions.
Lighthearted humor for everyone.
I love how well established the the two characters feel from the very start, their personality and inner thoughts are distinct and provide an exciting base for a enemies-to-lovers narrative. The romance is very slow going, which just makes it more believable (and satisfying when we get little hints of it).
The art is a particularly strong aspect of this comic, it supports the protagonist's vision of the world and provides beautiful and vivid imagery and backgrounds. I like how the artist's perspective is very clear and not only an afterthought of the story.
Overall a very strong start that reminded me of my years of group projects in university, ah, the struggle!
Can't wait to see where these two are headed!

I’m so delighted to finally see this title in print. I read the entire run when it was available online and even saw the live-action adaption, so to be able to enjoy Semantic Error in the comfort of my own home is a big plus. The plot itself is delightful; the consequences of actions meeting the consequences of actions. Round and round the main characters go, each one blaming the other, as their slowly draw each other in. It’s a bit of a slow-burn, but I promise everyone who is enjoying this for the first time that it is worth it.
