Synopsis
Non Zero Sum is a dark BL psychological manhwa by Son I-bul and illustrated by Cheong Geumgang, known for its heavy themes of abuse, manipulation, and trauma.
Non Zero Sum follows Yoon Hae-won, who’s been manipulated and controlled by Seo Hae-young for a decade, along with two other characters Ko Tae-gyeom and Joo Hyun-woo. The story is told in black-and-white art and focuses on a toxic, abusive relationship where Hae-won is isolated, assaulted, and psychologically broken.
Why Should We Pick This Up?
Because this story is one of a kind. It is highly controversial and extremely intense…Definitely not for everyone. However, I have always admired authors who dare to write stories that reflect the harsh cold reality. There are stories that we read to make us feel good and others that make us reflect deeply about humanities darkest side…I believe this story is one of them. I don't think it romanticizes the abuse at all. It simply reflects what happens in real life when you have spoiled wealthy people used to getting away with their evil deeds just because they are sheltered by their families’ power and money.
