Click



Volumes: 8 complete

Joohna is an arrogant teenager who puts down women and hopes to become a big womanizer when he gets older. His aspirations are ruined when his body transforms into a girl. He has to leave his old life including his best friend Jinhoon and his first love Heewon.
The story gets very serious after Joohna's transformation. Heewon begins to stalk her and starts acting up when she finds out that Joohna is really a girl. As a reader your meant not to root for this couple.
Jinhoo, Joohna's childhood bestfriend is a famous pianist who already has a girlfriend but has strong feelings for Joohna that he can't explain. He has never felt this way before even towards his girlfriend.
Taehyn is a busy savy playboy who is interested in girl Joohna after he gets knocked out by her in one blow.

The plot is very interesting. I'm not a big fan of the paneling in the manhwa, it doesn't capture what the author intends sometimes. It was really good in the first chapter but then it seemed like Lee Youngran got lazy.
A lot of people complain about the ending but I am personally happy who Joohna ends up with. I just wish she didn't tell Jinhoo to stay with his girlfriend, he doesn't love her and he's only going to be with her because his true love made him promise to stick with her. I know it just wouldn't work out.

Nonchan To Watashi



Volumes: Oneshot

Rise and Takumi have known each other since they were little kids. Even though they still see each other, they aren't as close as they use to be. They got into a conflict about Takumi's glasses and Rise still regrets not apologizing to him about it. Takumi since has changed into a big campus playboy.

Rise gets kinda pathetic with the whole "I don't belong in his life!", are you serious? It's just a pair of glasses. Even after Takumi kisses her she still acts whiny. I don't know, I guess people are just obsessed with drama. I can't totally blame her. I have my own over dramatic moments in my life.

It's about Rise admitting learning how to admit your feelings.
I didn't like it as much as I thought I would but it isn't a bad oneshot.

Wagahai Wa Yome de Aru



Volumes: 1 Complete

I was kinda confused when I read this scan. I thought this was a short series about a high school girl married to a writer but it's actually a series of oneshots. The high school girl story is one of four. The way that it was described with that one story only seemed like it was a series.

Anyway...

"I'm His Wife" Nako meets an author named Hii-kun at the bookstore, they start going out and then soon get married. It kinda bothers me that an adult would ask a high school girl to marry him. She wasn't wise beyond her years or anything like that, she was what you'd expect from a high school girl, a child. She even mentally says that she's missing out on stuff because she got married young. She gets interested in a high school classmate named Saigou-kun and goes out with him.

"Love Mates" Natsuki has been suffering from nightmares and she wants to roommate to keep her company. Turns out her roommate is a guy named Ootani. She's a little uncomfortable about this.

"Children Salad" Oda Akira is a man hoping to become a nursery school teacher. The problem is that kids are afraid of him, and he doesn't like kids very much either. There is a bright friendly high school girl who also works at the nursery. This author has something for older men/ high school girls.

"The Flower Language Of Lilac" Serina is a tomboy and class clown. She doesn't want to be identified as a girl. Nothing makes her more happy then to make others laugh. But Toyohara might get in her way by telling his own jokes.

All the stories are cute but really lack depth, which what a lot of oneshots suffer from. It's just more of oh I'm in love with this person for no reason kind of thing, except "Children Salad". I really liked the art. My favorite was the authors soft tones in "Love Mates".

Koko Ni Iru Yo! Volume 1-4



volumes: 5 Complete

Sumino is a very shy girl which no one seems to notice. She lets her voice be heard anonymously over the internet via a blog. Her only friends are Black Rabbit and MegaPIG who comment on her blog. Then the two popular guys take notice of her existence and it gets a little less interesting after that.

Even though Sumino starts out weak and pathetic, she does try to break out of her shell. And she does show more strength as the series goes on.

I find it rather annoying that the two guys Hinata and Teru seem to be fighting her affection, when I don't find a good enough reason to do so. If she's "plain" why would you be going for her. It's just not explained clearly. I was rolling my eyes throughout the latest scans.

The characters are made to look cute but at times they all look the same, just with slightly different hair styles. The screen tones seem to be overdone at times. Their profile view makes their heads look narrow.

The Flower Of Evil



rating: Mature
Volumes: 7 Complete

The Flower of Evil is by Lee Hyeon-Sook. Se-Wa and Se-Joon are twins. Se-Joon is like any high school boy with friends and a social life. Se-Wa doesn't know how to be comfortable without clinging to her brother Se-Joon. They both have feelings for each other, Se-Wa expresses it more at the beginning. It is expressed with how Se-Wa sneaks into Se-Joons bed a night and how they kiss when no one is watching.

Se-Joon soon tries to avoid Se-Wa. The guilt of loving his sister is troubling him. He tries to distract himself by using his girlfriend Sun-Bae as an excuse to not be with his sister. I feel really sorry for Sun-Bae.

The first volume or so I thought this was going to play like Boku wa Imouto ni Koiwosuru Korean version. But I think it gets much disturbing than that. Se-Wa drugs Sun-Bae out of jealousy. Se-Joon later on in the series turns out to be equally if not more psychotic than Se-Wa. As you can see it's really hard to like these characters.

I really like when Gi-Hon (who claimed to be an old family friend) and Se-Wa were getting close. Se-Wa was almost acting like a normal person and her interest in the latest horror movies and forums online about horror movies showed me she had some sort of life besides Se-Joon.

i haven't read much manhwa but the I consider the art here beautiful. Their eyes are so expressive and I love the detail on the eyelashes that you don't see much in manga.

Akuma to Love Song Volume 1-2



rating: Teen
Volumes: 7 Ongoing
Devil and Her Love song is by Toumori Miyoushi. Kawai Maria has just transferred from a prestigious Catholic school to a pretty average Touzuka High School. She was expelled from her other school because of violence towards a teacher, she tells everyone as she enters the classroom. Kawai Maria is a very interesting character. She is honest and direct. Not only that, she can tell peoples intention and somehow shows them a mirror of who they really are. But she's pretty sensitive to other peoples words.

Because Maria is so blunt and honest, she is isolated by her classmates and eventually bullied by the group of mean girls. Two good looking guys, Kanda Yuusuke and Meguro Shin who are opposites of each other. One is bubbly and cute while the other one is cold. They don't really "protect" her they more like help her out to get along better with her classmates. I like Meguro better because Yuusuke wants her to change while Meguro likes Maria more as she is.

I don't know what to think about this manga. It is very popular and I can see why. The main girl is different. It's very refreshing to see someone who is tough and brutally honest. Someone who doesn't get over emotional and reacts too drastically. But still for some reason it doesn't do it for me.

Perhaps it's the translation that is bother me. I can't quite put my finger on it. I have to read the page about three times to understand what the hell Maria is saying/means. I really want to like this manga.

I'm staying tuned to see if Maria will get to sing her song, to see if Meguro/Maria will develop, Yuusuke to grow up and show his real self, Tomoyo to be a stronger person.

Gakuen Ouji



rating: mature
volumes: 6 ongoing

Gakuen Prince is by YUZUKI Jun. Mizutani has just moved to Joshi high, previously an all girl school it has recently become co-ed. But the girls still greatly outnumber the boys. It seems that the girls don't have much free time and with all the hormones, many of them target the few guys in the school for satisfaction. Munechika (I think he's going to have STD soon) likes to whore himself out there but Mizutani doesn't want any part of it. To keep girls from jumping him, Mizutani picks the nerdy and not sexually interested, Okitsu Rise as his pretend girlfriend. They are having trouble maintaining their fake relationship since the other girls have been bullying her.

Rise moves to S class but sadly she is also bullied there too. She looks like a completely different person without her glasses, sort of like a Clark Kent that makes sense.

Later on it gets disturbing, Mizutani gets drugged and molested. He gets rescued though. I'm all for girls cool with their sexuality but not when your forcing yourself on someone. The redeamable quality in this is that rape is considered a negative thing in this story. Tell that to the fangirls who think this as "hilarious".

The Bishies are drawn beautifully. The paneling is really good too, there are some scenes used like when Mizutani was running for his life, that I haven't seen used before.

I'm going to continue reading, it seems there might be something between Rise and another guy, Akamaru.
