Cynical Orange

// August 27th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // Manhwa, Reviews

The most beautiful face, the perfect body, and a sincere personality… that’s what Hwang Hyemin has. Naturally, she’s the center of everyone’s attention. Every boy in her school loves her, while every girl hates her out of their jealousy. Every single day, she has to endure tortures and hardships from the girls. There is nothing more satisfying than getting them back. Well, except for one problem: her secret crush, JongYon. Because of him, she has to hide her cynical and dark side and put an innocent face on daily. For him, she has to endure all the jealousy and suffering.  Then one day, she found out that he dislikes her anyways!! WHAT?!? That’s it! No more nice girl! And her first victim of rage is a playboy she just met, MaHa. -MangaFox

I would have to give this manhwa a pretty high rating. I enjoyed all it all the way to the end. Something about Korean manhwa differs so much from Japanese manga though. Some people may not like it but I happen to really be interested. They have a drier sense of humor and they really like sad stories. Anyway, this story has everything you could want from a shoujo type of manhwa. Can you even call it shoujo if it is Korean? I’m not really sure, but you get the idea.

This review will have many spoilers so beware!

Little Queen

// June 1st, 2010 // 2 Comments » // Manhwa, Reviews

Class rivals June and Lucia vie for the honor of being named the Queen of Light, entrusted with protecting the people from the King of Darkness. June is an attractive girl whose feisty, hot temper and general laziness may prevent her from receiving the crown. Lucia has a more regal quality and a strong desire to match, but she is always overshadowed by June. Will petty jealousies, love triangles, and one cute boy interfere with the Queen’s royal duty?!  – Tokyopop

I actually started this one way before Tokyopop got their hands on it. The drawings had me drawn to it and the strange story was enough to keep me reading. I must admit that the actual story is kind of hard to follow with the way she changes from real life to dreams and then from past, present, and future, but it isn’t impossible to understand.

The following will be spoiler filled so watch your step!
