A fun and fresh spin on the story of Persephone and Hades—I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did, but these characters are so on point, and the modern Olympus VS ancient mortal realm is a great concept for the setting. The art is absolutely gorgeous, which doesn’t hurt. Emphasizes consent, self-reflection and self-awareness, the importance of mental health and therapy, generational trauma, autonomy and choice, very modern and salient themes, without hitting you over the head with them. I’m reading this on WEBTOON, and sometimes the dialogue is riddled with misspellings or grammatical errors, but it’s easy to overlook.
