Synopsis

There is a rumor that a magician lives in the tent by the abandoned theme park; some even say his magic is real. However, before he starts his show, he always asks his audience: "Do you believe in magic?"

For Yoon Ah-ee, magic seems like a distant memory. Faced with the harsh reality of poverty, she spends all her time studying, working, and taking care of her younger sister in the absence of their parents. She no longer believes in the wonders of magic, just like her skeptical classmate Na Il-Deung, who has been brought up to believe that a good education is the only way to approach life.

When Ah-ee stumbles into the abandoned theme park and has a chance encounter with the magician, her life is changed forever. Annarasumanara reveals a philosophical, heartwarming, and thought-provoking story of what it means to grow up into the person you want to be.

TL;DR: A short, but effective story, it had great themes and characters that were also executed pretty nicely, the only reason why I can't give it more than an 8 is the lack of impact it had on me (seeing as I'm already aware of everything that is tackled in this story) and it's lack of complexity, more chapters and time for character development could only help this story and it's characters and themes.

GOOD BITS: Great characters. There is depth to each of the main trio and layers that get peeled off as the story progresses. Lee Eul (the magician) is so mysterious and intriguing. Each of the main three give some kind of insight on how wealth can affect people.
The story is quite laid back but is still quite forward moving, enough to make you continue reading at least.
The paneling is often outstanding. While it does peak early on, Ha Il Kwon is still so imaginative with the space and magic sections.
The message and themes really hit hard. They provide judgement on society's expectations of students ...

Mixed Feelings
Graced by a cute art style that expresses the manhwa’s childish overview, Annarasumanara is about all the magic we miss once we grow up into what we consider an adult. This definition is one that’s usually coined by society, but it’s completely left our interpretation. Yet we’re hardly given control of how we truly want to maneuver ourselves during the challenges of our present and the catastrophes of our past: one where we leave behind everything that was important to us to live a real life.

Following the steps of Ah-ee Yoon, Annarasumanara explores what it means to believe and perform magic. Ah-ee finds herself lost ...
