Want more! I liked the first in the series, but I really loved the second a lot more. The "relationship" between the two main characters is different and complicated, but it keeps you reading wanting to know more about them; I loved that it wasn't another typical lovey-dovey BL book. It's just what I've been looking for.
In this book, we start to get a deeper look into the minds of some of the characters. Yes, perfect! I love a book that delves into the darker aspects of the mind, and I certainly hope to see a lot more of it as I read more of the series. Some of the characters you thought you'd pegged from the first book are turning into entirely different people, which is fascination to watch. I love it.
I thought that, in the first book, the translation was a bit choppy, but there was a much better flow to it in the second. Sooyeon Won is not only an artist, but a writer and a storyteller, which unfortunately is often hard to find in manga.
I'm so happy with this series and am excited to get the next book. I'm definitely going to make room on my shelf just for this series; I have high hopes for it.
one of the best shounen-ai manga series This volume is a little slower than the first... But this is mainly because the focus isn't set on Dai and Jaehee(?)(forgive me, I'm horrible with korean names). They definately have their moments, but the story delves a bit more into the other characters. Though it is interesting to see what happens with Jaehee's (ex?) girlfriend later on. This is what I perceive as 'slower', because I want so badly two see what happens with the two boys.
Their interactions are like a careening rollercoaster ride... and two of the wheels have just popped off!
vol 3 is fast paced agin, giving us a lot of Dai/Jaehee coverage :)
Can't wait! Volume 1 was a shocking discovery. It's made me create a new shelf space of Korean mangas ("Manhwa"). Looking forward to it.
