100% Perfect Yumminess - oh how I swoon!

Jul 16, 2010 15:27

My previous post reminded me of my true manhwa love, 100% Perfect Girl. Together with Sensual Phrase, 100% is my ultimate "take from my cold dead fingers" guilty pleasure. I love the really emo love story (why don't kdrama makers stop adopting Japanese mangas and do their own instead?) and the really really clean and uncluttered art. And so I have come to share some scans of the pretty. Because, in addition to everything else, the manhwa is ridiculously pretty.



I cannot emphasize enough how I really really love uncluttered manga art (see also very different, but equally uncluttered Hot Gimmick).

Quick note, in case you are familiar only with manga - unlike the Japanese version, the Korean one reads from right to left, the way you would with an English-language graphic novel.



Ahhhh, the dysfunctional angst! I would kill to see this in a kdrama :)











Appeal of shoujo tropes in 10 easy panels: Rescue and clinging and making out? Check! I especially crack up at her commenting on how even when she hated him she thought he was hot - that is the n1 shoujo fact out there!























WANN knows that injuries and h/c are a staple of any good melodrama. But in addition to freaking (finally!) happy ending, I really really love the way this is drawn. I know I keep saying it but it's just so pretty.



































Sadly, WANN is no Mayu Shinju so x-rated sex scenes are not about to happen in 100%. But there is some sexiness anyway. Say it with me: AWWWWWWWWWWWWW.







In conclusion, I like the way WANN draws clothes:



For some reason, I always picture Joo Ji Hoon as a WANN hero - I have no idea why. Maybe it's because he does icy/repressed/angsty combo so well.

If these scans weren't enough, here is a link to a mv which uses more artwork.

If you are interested, 100% is available at the usual scanlation places but it's also in print and can be found at amazon etc.
