I read volume 1 quite some time ago, and I was amused when my old post on it noted that I wanted to see more of Che-Kyung having to deal with palace politics and etc. Ha, no such luck!

I really hope a) reading these in English and b) without jetlag makes it make more sense. That said, despite my having no idea what's going on with the plot and suspecting that the characters are probably not particularly well-rounded, the absolutely gorgeous art keeps me reading anyway and lends the story a mythic quality that it otherwise might ( Read more... )

This series keeps enraging me, but I read on because the art was so gorgeous. Thankfully, I have been released, since the author's note in volume 4 annoyed me so much that I refuse to pick up more! Ha, freedom ( Read more... )

This is a collection of interrelated short stories that the manhwaga used as a sort of prologue to her current series Nabi. Alas, I've heard sales of this volume weren't great, so TokyoPop isn't planning on releasing the series. That's too bad, because the art in this is simply gorgeous, and though some of the stories are confusing, her characters ( Read more... )
