Love? Complicated. Lust? Out of control. Drama? Delicious. Welcome to the wonderful world of Semantic Error from writer J. Soori and artist Angy. What started as a beloved webcomic has since leveled up—spawning animated shorts, an award-winning live-action K-drama, starring Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan (of DKZ).

Now, Ize Press will release a six-volume print series that lets fans hold every glitchy, gorgeous moment in their hands.

VOLUME 1: A BUG IN THE SYSTEM

As a computer science major, Sangwoo Choo lives for logic. Spreadsheets and structure are sublime, while group projects are a necessary evil—until his teammates flake and he does the unthinkable: deletes their names from the final submission like expired cookies. Brutal? Yes. Deserved? Also yes. But what should’ve been a mic-drop moment of academic justice turns into a digital disaster when one of those ghosted names belongs to Jaeyoung Jang—a campus heartthrob with a grudge, a killer design portfolio, and zero chill.

Worse still? Jaeyoung was the artist Sangwoo was planning to hire for his indie game. And now? He’s got a vengeance arc and a front-row seat to Sangwoo’s carefully curated meltdown. Jaeyoung is out for revenge, and Sangwoo is learning—very quickly—that feelings don’t come with coding logic.

Cue the sexual tension, mutual pettiness, and the slowest of burns

VOLUME 2: ERROR 500 – INTERNAL SERVER ERROR

Jaeyoung Jang has changed. Like, suspiciously so. He’s not just tolerable now, he’s… dare we say it? Nice. He jokes, he participates, he even contributes to the dreaded group skit without the usual diva antics. But the real kicker? He keeps casually touching Sangwoo. An arm graze here. A back pat there. A soft little smile that’s absolutely not part of the syllabus. And Sangwoo? Fully. Short-circuiting. Every. Single. Time.

Now he’s stuck in emotional purgatory with two options: avoid Jaeyoung like a limited edition merch drop or embrace the chaos and maybe catch a little gay joy along the way. Seems like an easy decision… if only his heart and brain would get on the same Wi-Fi network. But when the guy who once broke your emotional firewall starts acting like a lovesick golden retriever, nothing—and I mean nothing—is error-free.

The Gay panic in this volume is so intense it might just crash the mainframe.

VOLUME 3: A LESSON IN PERSPECTIVE

Poor Jaeyoung. All he wanted was a little peace, maybe a project partner who wasn’t emotionally unavailable and allergic to affection—but instead, he got Sangwoo: a tightly wound, romance-repellent human spreadsheet who insists he’s straight… while practically setting off the fire alarms every time Jaeyoung breathes near him.

To make matters worse, our baby gay disaster Sangwoo has zero dating experience, zero chill, and—surprise!—a potential rival who’s more than ready to snatch Jaeyoung’s crown. Jaeyoung does manage to talk him into a “strictly physical” arrangement (because that always works), but let’s be honest: between unresolved feelings, accidental cuddling, and one very steamy library encounter, they’re both one eyebrow raise away from catching feelings they can’t Google their way out of.

Corrupted files, beta test gone rogue, and an emotional crash so catastrophic even Ctrl+Z can’t undo it.

Clearly, Ize Press has understood the assignment. Thick matte cover, crisp color printing, and the kind of binding that doesn’t crack under pressure. Visually, these books are sleek and chic, with just enough quirk to match the chaotic collision course that is Sangwoo vs. Jaeyoung. Every panel pops, and the layout keeps that digital scroll-flow intact without feeling like it was crammed into a box. They’re beautiful.

Volume 4 releases in November and can currently be pre-ordered through Amazon.

There will be more reviews soon so…
