Head Over Heels
Woohyun is rich and has the whole silver package, good looks, popularity, money—you name it! It just so happens that this Woohyun is also—a total douchebag and bully. The one that receives this harassment is none other than Ha Yan, a frail girl that is easy to pick on. The weird thing is: it seems that she actually likes his attention and starves for it. This obsession that slowly grows and has yet to enrapture them. . . Could this craving possible morph into something more? Review: The main characters have triggering pasts and their different personalities are what make them so intriguing. A sadist and a masochist. What a perfect couple. To be honest, they complement each other really well. The side characters play a key role in the storyline as well, and I can’t help but empathize with them. Based on the few chapters I’ve read, I have yet to see where this story is going to go. I like the art. The artist(s) has their ways of showing rather unique expressions that other artists wouldn’t dare to draw. I like that aspect about this comic. Comment: Yo. At first, I thought this was going to be an angsty story about bullying, right? Nope! It’s about a psychotic girl that gets off of pain and would do anything for her beloved. By reading this comic, I think I have some weird arse kinks. (‘-’*) I think this comic might be revealing my masochistic desires. I don’t know how to feel about Ha Yan. Isn’t stabbing someone in the back kind of messed up? I’m kind of put off by that.
Tokyo Ghoul
Review: This manga is highly exceptional. The storyline is one thing, and the art! It’s like a gold wrapped deluxe package made for everyone. The plot is so good, and I’m really digging how we find out more about ghouls as we go along. The protagonist has a foot in both worlds, and that means he is the only one that can possibly bring them together. I’ve seen this trope a bunch of times in novels (Percy Jackson, my own story) and in other comics. I am interested as to how much we’ll learn about ghouls in this manga. Comment: Rize kinda hot (~˘▽˘)~
Back in Time to You
When Yeon-Ho accidentally trips overs himself and creates a hole in the wall of his new house, he finds that he unlocks a memory that he had tried so hard to forget ten years ago. Jang Jae-Ha . . . How could he have ever forgotten about him? Review: So . . . This manhwa made me cry, especially the ending. Like, gods damn it! This comic was full of angst. Thank the gods for the ambiguous ending. I’m just going to pretend that it was all a dream and that they are still alive in high school and are together. <3 ANYWAYS— i was kidding. I know my heart starves for emotional pain. the true ending is that yeon-ho died because that was the price he had to pay for changing jae-ha’s fate. he finally received closure and accepted his destiny. and that’s on trauma. this manhwa needs the five stars. the storyline is simply breathtaking. the art might not be something you’re used to, but it adds to the whole “time travel” thing. i love it, and i know whenever i think of this manhwa, i’m going to cry. <3
MEmergence (Metamorphosis)
Review: I read the comic, and it includes severe dark themes and fairly explicit images. The protagonist goes through many hardships and is almost brainwashed by the adults around her. All of this arrives to the final conclusion, an open ended, yet tear jerking ending. Overall, I would definitely not recommend this manga to people who simply cannot bare to read stories with this general theme. It was very interesting and different, but not in the appealing way as it may seem. A lesson that can be interpreted from this manga is: “Don’t let people take advantage of you. You are worth it.” I probably wouldn’t read this again, but to each their own.
