Ok if I misunderstood Nya-chan, I'd apologize.

For now I'll go collect Seol-a's screenshots at work instead of continue this unnecessary discussion about how bad my favorite manhwa is.

What?

You're too negative! (」゜ロ゜)」

Nya-chan, you've just found your like-minded soulmate, you should publicly support transbikes instead. What a tease

Okay now don't be like that, if this was any other serie people would have whined and complained a lot about how when ex-bf with perfect timing interrupted the confession and again now that he is in the same ski resort are forced drama, but because it's FF everyone acts as if it's perfect and without any problems or cliches, seriously guys, someone makes a criticism and what some of you do? Mock the person? Some pages ago some pretty much offended and acted agressive towards Nya-chan because she have a different opinion, this is starting to become fandumb, you guys are making me think of Narutards and Bleachtards, acting as if FF is the best thing ever made and anyone who don't agree is an idiot who doesn't know anything, I like FF as much as all of you do, but it's not perfect and definitely not above criticism, so chill out guys, cause it's really embarassing how some of you are acting against some people, mainly Nya-chan now because the rest even gave up after some time because of how some of you react to criticism.

Lol sorry I created misunderstanding there. I was teasing Nya-chan to speak her mind instead of teasing everyone here instead. Because clearly she was, and she started it first. No mocking. Just teasing ;)

But sorry i'll just get serious one last time (because you just made it sound so serious again):

I never joined in with the sentiment that FF was without the cliché. I even admitted I loved and needed the cliche because i want to see Seolrae to go through all that cliche that I could only read in other het shoujo mangas. I just thought people who criticized took it too seriously for a slice of life shoujo manhwa. Ssamba clearly didnt want to write a masterpiece of literature. I myself think she just wanted to focus on portraying the feelings and reactions of two girls who fall in love with each other in a society that is used to het romance. She let us experience their feelings by throwing at them all these circumstances in a single 100-chapter story updated weekly, just like K-dramas which dominates the culture she's living in (well hello she's Korean). Like someone in another board said, their intention is to give us an emotional roller coaster ride. It's clearly that everyone is having one hell of a ride. She wasn't avoiding the cliches to be a masterpiece. So criticize all you want.

Nya-chan's intention has been to go against everyone who enjoys FF and rub them off. Thats all

I love FF for what it is, for pleasure reading, not academic reading. Ssamba is not the best writer, but a good artist and a sensitive human being who believes humans are fundamentally good. Some set out to be great and failed because they just seem phony and trying to hard. Ssamba set out just to draw something she likes with low expectation for popularity herself but gained tremendous support because of her genuine and relatable characters.

...
If everyone has forgotten, I'll paste again a part of her

Q&A special chapter

Ssamba: Hello everyone! This is Ssamba.
How should I start..
In any case, shall we start with the Q & A?

1. Is this manhwa lesbian? Yuri? GL? (t/n: lmao everyone's favorite question)
Ssamba: I wonder~ If you stick around until the end, wouldn't you be able to find out~? lol
that's a joke
I wanted to clarify this because it's something that people have asked so often.
Lesbian, yuri, GL, queer, they're all correct. (t/n: shame on y'all who ever doubted ssamba)
Please just call it whatever you'd like.
To be honest, those genres aren't very meaningful to me, or to the manhwa called Fluttering Feelings.
Fluttering Feelings is simply a pure-hearted manhwa. [ieeheh: I'd like to emphasize and make this part bigger but I'm afraid of Nez-chan xD]
I understand why some might be confused.

People could get bored wondering where's the focus of the story, or people could find that this manhwa isn't to their taste.

A yuri manhwa doesn't necessarily have to scream YU! RI!! to be one;
If you follow along slowly, you will fully understand what kind of story this manhwa's trying to tell. ^^
(If you don't care, I can't help you there...)

2. Hurry up with the pacing!

Ssamba: You must really want to see the ending that badly...
Even though there's so much of the story left........TT
If I had decided to draw some rapidly progressing relationship
Then there wouldn't have been any reason for Fluttering Feelings to be created in the first place;;

Ssamba: I would probably be continuously drawing stuff I've drawn before, being disgustingly bored... (I will never get popular lol)

OOT, but just feel like sharing hehe

the music (or at least the title) suits ff soo much, i think, lolol

hahah I like the song! Thanks for sharing

Hey thatanon, your profile picture reminded me of 2 similar scenes between WDTFS and FF:
- elevator scene (WDTFS) and subway scene (FF): both short girls was so captivated by the long and sexy neck of the tall girls hahaha
- ferris wheel scene

Maybe you could put them side by side too? lol

It'd be truly a blessing for anyone who find out about this story when it's already finished. Gosh... The frustration to follow this story weekly is killing me.

I love Seola so much it hurts to see she's hurt ;(

Nah, not necessarily. It all depends on your prospective about soap operas. I know my mum is frustrated because she has very ambiguous feelings about them. The Bold & The Beautiful series attracts lots of people !

Yeah, it's a fun ride to have the weekly updates. I dont think you'd miss out on the story but waiting for updates is part of the appreciation process.

Just think of the possibilities if this would turn into a yuri drama on TV. It would be great!

I'd have a heart attack if there'd ever be an announcement on FF drama releasing. Too good to be true ;(

On a side note, look what I've found:
Seola's staring at Norae haha

Seol-a has always been so intense. Love it.
(There should be more panels of Seola's staring if I remember correctly. I should start a collection of Seola. I'm that kinda fan)

O.k if things will continue like this ...nothing will change ...i dont think seola will conffess again not after than so probably seola will date some guy again just to make norae jealous or seola will meet yu jin younger sister and tell her the truth which will effect seola compltely so im sure that norae is the one to confess first and seola will initiate the first kiss ..im sure of that

Your denfense mechanism heh? Lol

I know it hurts to read FF and having your expectations crushed over and over again. But there's no way Baek Seola will do something like that, even in her most desperate state. I know it will happen soon. The confession or the moment they know their feelings are mutual. It should... in this same trip. Mark my words

That feeling knowing you're the prettiest girl in the room and no other girl could beat you but still even the ugliest man could always win over you. That feeling. Damn it. Falling in love with another girl is a curse. A curseeeee

uhrrggg. I was caught off guard by that scene! My poor seol-a.. I feel sorry for her. I don't like to see her make that kind of face.. It really broke my heart T_T i bet seol-a will act strange but i hope no rae would do something about it. .

That feeling when you want to get angry but have no right to be angry or be jealous. And all you can do is nothing but to keep it to yourself the hurt you've been feeling. T_T

You're so right ;( And it broke my heart to see Seola made that kinda face too. I'm sure she wasn't jealous as much as she's hurt. She just had no right. The day that SungPyo interrupted her confession, she realized she could never be as confident as she's always been. I think the obstacles of same sex relationships never occurred to her much until then

I think this scene is a parallel of what happened in Chapter 27, when Norae walked back from the restroom to see Seola having fun chit chat with another male. After many defeats on her attempt to get closer with Norae, Seola now feels just as insecure as Norae felt back then. For the first time they're both completely on the same page... in the sad way hulhulhulhul

Dunno, but Kaoru is admittedly adorable. =] But yeah… It would be nice if Canno did something to, I don't know, remind us that Ayaka is supposed to be a main character…?

I've gotten back Photoshop, as well as chapter 19, so I might be able to release 18 and 19 simultaneously during this month. Maybe.

Totally forgot this series is on-going.
Please pretty please update it.

Why are people still so angry with Shou? It's never tagged as yuri. It's our fault for keeping our hopes up and biting our own bait lol.

I'm just mad at myself for hoping throughout this series. Womance... WHAT?

I watched episode 1 to 5 then skipped all the drama and finished with episode 8 lol. The finale was kinda cute. Acting was slightly improved. But overall it's still inadequate.

I love everything about this manga. The art is so clean and pleasant to the eyes. The character profiles are very well thought out. Cute yet sill makes you think. Just perfect on its own. Kinda sucks that it's my only favorite on-going yuri manga right now. Other series I'm interested in are not Japanese. Takemiya Jin's stories are good too, but they're not long enough and not too deep either. Nishi Uko's much deeper, but don't have good update schedule. Citrus and Netsuzou Trap are kinda trash, intended only for the mass audience. Japanese authors need to step up their game and make a weekly/biweekly yuri webtoon lol

Lol i just watch it for the sake of watching a yuri. But yes you're right. I think it's shit too. All the acting is so bad. There is no chemistry between them at all.

The more i re-read FF, the more I think Ssamba is a master of drawing facial micro expression. Seola still smiles lately, but her smile is not as bright and innocent as before. Now her smile carries a subtle sense of pain and uneasiness. Before, like Kyeyung said, she had the look of "I look like I can seduce any man in 10 minutes" and I miss that look of hers.
It doesnt mean I dont like where it's going. They're both changing and growing and I appreciate Ssamba for portraying such a reality on screen. But I just want to see them truly happy again soon.

Ah but she did try to confess a while ago, but was interrupted. I wonder what will come of that now?


I think Sung-Pyo's encounter made her confidence waver and she's a lil more conscious and afraid of rejection from No-rae now. That's why she went through some trouble to arrange the part time job to spend more time with No-rae first.

Falling in love with a girl is a curse.. Not knowing how she feels is even worse

But it seems like her efforts started to pay off... I cant wait to see their moments at the ski resort

Before Seola became conscious of her feelings for Norae, she used to be so smooth, girly, and naturally flirty

Now that's she's aware of her feelings, she's sometimes gotten quite stiff and "manly" wanting to protect Norae. It's so cute. I can't get enough of Seola.
