악마와 계약연애 #1
by Jangjin, 장진
❛ ━━･❪ 5 stars ✩ ❫･━━ ❜
I don't remember the last time I picked up a graphic novel. I used to be really into these short, fun webtoons; stayed up nights with one of those series during quarantine; it kept me great company. I was so upset when I lost track of the pieces I had read and enjoyed before. I've been wanting to get back into it for a while now and just yesterday a short trailer of this series popped up in my YT home feed. At first glance, it seemed so similar to one of my favorite K-drama 'Doom At Your Service', that I went ahead and bought the whole series.
At the beginning, you see Hanna being socially awkward, always one step out of the door; she struggles silently and has no one to watch over her. She attends classes at day and works multiple part time jobs at night that barely scrape together her living expenses. Devil number 4 appears before her just by the end of one of those hard days and tells her that her desperation could be heard from the underworld; he offers her a generous deal and won't let go until she accepts. We can see how his presence makes her forget her problems for a while, she's more at ease with him around. He gives her the kindness she never had and as they grow closer, the devil starts feeling guilty about the bargain they have going on. It's a lovely story of friendship between a devil and his human client.
[ p.s. :pensive: cause we don't get pretty devils running our errands ]

╰┈➤ A gorgeous devil swoops in with a deal to save the damsel in distress. A wish in exchange of a soul but the client he was assigned to this time, however in struggle she is, doesn't seem to have any wish to offer. It puts him in an unsettling position with the headquarters; the pressure from his authorities grows, and he is nowhere close to breaking through the girl's mind.
