Synopsis:
Skylar has a secret hobby - taking photos of his crush, Chan-il. But when Cirrus stumbles upon Skylar's cloud storage with its impressive collection of Chan-il's photos, things escalate pretty quickly. At first confident his secret is safe with Cirrus, Skylar continuously finds himself in compromising situations, making him question Cirrus' true motives...
Thoughts:
During the <Painter of the Night> hiatus, I started reading a number of new BL to keep me entertained, and that’s when I discovered <Lost in the Cloud>.
I am OBSESSED with this manhwa!!! The series, which currently has 27 chapters released in English and 33 in Korean, has quickly become my favorite BL alongside POTN, which is saying A LOT because I am super picky about what I read.
The artwork is simply stunning and the story is really intriguing. You start off thinking it’s going to be just an innocent school crush but the plot is waaaay darker. The two main characters in particular are so complex and are not quite what they seem...
On the surface Skylar seems like your average high-school student. Just a sweet, shy boy with a passion for photography. However, he is actually an emotionally scarred young man struggling to deal with a traumatic past event from his time at middle school.
Cirrus is popular and best friends with Chan-il (Skylar’s crush). At first sight, Cirrus seems to be a kind and gentle person, always smiling politely, and surrounding himself with friends. That’s Skylar’s first impression of him at least, which is why he decides to trust him when he says he will keep Skylar’s ‘hobby’ a secret. But as the days go by, it becomes apparent that underneath the charm hides a wolf ready to attack!
This is an ‘enemies to Iovers’ story and I am super excited to see how the relationship between the main characters will develop. The latest Korean chapters are very heavy as we learn more about Skylar’s dark past which is quite disturbing – chapter 33 even has a trigger warning!
It’s absolutely criminal how underrated this manhwa is, so I thought I would share it among those of you who may not have heard of it. Lezhin Comics is currently hosting a special event where you can read the first 4 episodes of <Lost in the Cloud> for FREE so this is the perfect time to jump into the series. You won’t regret it!!!

Making my dramatic comeback not because I'm mentally stable again, but because I need to talk about
T H E M
But like. Not in the way that you think.
Lost in the Cloud has been popping up everywhere and I finally decided to read it. It's good. It's great. It satisfies my hunger for pretty boys and complex psychologies (I don't know how to phrase what I'm trying to say), without romanticising the relationships between these mentally disturbed characters, WHICH I LOVE.
I do, however, miss feeling happy.

TGCF fandom discourse is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. What do you mean people are arguing about whether or not hua cheng is buff or if he's twinky.. he's literally canonically a ghost who can shapeshift ?? A huge part of his character is that he shapeshifts all the time?? His "canon body type" is a circle because he literally burned his corpse and made his ashes into a ring guys
