Initially, I found myself hesitant about Yumi’s Cells Vol. 5, viewing it as a mere continuation of the emotional rollercoaster that sometimes feels recycled. However, diving into this installment shifted my perspective entirely. The complexities within Yumi’s relationship with Woong unfurl like an intricate tapestry — filled with threads of nostalgia yet beckoning for change amidst stagnant waters. This volume artfully illustrates not only her longing but also captures life’s silent turbulence—a duality that resonates deeply in the quiet corners of urban Bogotá life. What emerges from these pages is not just another story; it’s an examination of being comfortably stuck and yearning to break free without fully knowing how.

Sério, cara, peguei o Volume 5 de Yumi’s Cells e não consegui parar de ler. A luta interna da Yumi me lembrou minha própria vida! Em um momento ela tá super confusa em relação ao Woong; tipo aquela fase chata em que a rotina parece dominar tudo. O jeito como os ‘cels’ se comunicam traz um humor e uma leveza às situações complicadas do amor e das decisões diárias dela. Olhando por essa lente, é impossível não rir ou sentir empatia – mesmo nas dificuldades! Recomendo muito pra quem curte entender sentimentos na perspectiva real.
