Seoul before sunrise [graphic novel]

Dahmani, Samir2024
Book
Longtime friends Seong-ji and Ji-won are excited to begin university in Seoul, swearing to stay close in the big city. But from the moment they arrive, they begin to drift apart. Her focus split between her rigorous accounting program and an overnight job at a grocery store, Seong-ji struggles to make peace with the loss. During one of her late shifts, however, she encounters an enigmatic young woman who spends her nights entering the empty homes of others to observe and paint them. Suddenly, Seong-ji finds herself swept up in a dreamlike otherworld, guided by freedom and creativity. As she explores these quiet places, she uncovers not only an intimate portrait of strangers, but perhaps even herself.
