Kill Me Kiss Me and Yotsubato Vol. 1-5

Kill Me Kiss Me by Lee Young You

This manhwa started out good and became crappy in the second volume. The events in volume 1 is irrelevant to the rest. I was even excited to get copies of volumes 2-5 only to be disappointed. I was already disappointed when I started with volume 2, but I still read everything until the end because of the PRETTY BOYS FAN CLUB! XD That fan club is irrelevant to the storyline too, but it’s in the story because Que-Min, the protagonist from volume 2-onwards, is a member of the group. The other members highly rely on her because she’s a girlfriend of one of the boys they have their eyes on. The fan club isn’t just about adoring boys… They’re also into BL! They pair their dreamy boys, write news or gossip about them, and take pictures of them. My school would be fun if our life was like that. XD

Korean manhwa art look all the same to me. There are always gangsters in the stories too. Is that very common in (South) Korea?



Yotsubato Vol. 1-5 by Azuyama Kiyohiko

This is the reason why I started reading Yotsubato. Yotsuba-chan’s the cutest! She’s now my favorite character in the manga series. Next would be Jumbo-san who, I believe, got his name for being tall. My third favorite character would be Yotsuba’s dad. If Yanda makes more appearances, he could beat Yotsuba’s dad’s place. Yotsubato is a humorous manga that beats Azumanga Daioh, imo. They should have done an anime for this too. Even a 12-episode long anime is fine with me.
Yotsuba’s facial expressions are just awesome. Most of the time she looks like Gash from Konjiki no Gash Bell!!. Her being clueless on a lot of things make this manga hilarious. There are a few touching moments anyway, so this isn’t something that will get you braindead. XD She also speaks of words that is unexpected of a kid like when she said, “Freakin’ adults!”
I saved a lot of images from this manga to turn into icons _someday_. ^_^; I hope I could get time soon.
