Comments:
I have to commend this author for this really good manhwa. It's not really romantic but involves a lot of psychological stuff which is really interesting. Yes, I know this is josei manhwa (korean comics) but it's really entertaining and makes you think. I generally don't read much manhwa probably because I haven't come across good ones but I'm pretty familiar with the culture. The characters are pretty three dimensional and the story doesn't have many cliches. Ohh and before you start reading here are some tips that might make it less confusing:

• Black borders= Past Events
• White Borders= Present Events
• It's a webcomic scroll down a lot
• Read it slowly, it's hard to get if you skim throught it
• Noona= How a guy addresses an older girl
• Unni= How a girl addresses an older girl
• Dongsaeng= Kohai
• Sunbae= Senpai
• Oppa= How a girl would addresses an older guy
• Hyung= How a guy would addresses an older guy
• Soju= An alcoholic drink commonly drunk in SK
• And remember to read from normally (left to right, I sometimes forget >.>)

Sorry I haven't been posting, gahhhh so many tests and assignments DX

Manga Review: Kieli

Name: Kieli
Author: Kabei Yukako
Artist: Teshirogi Shiori
Status: Completed
Chapters: 7
Genres:  Adventure, Fantasy, Romance, Sci-fi, Shoujo, Supernatural
Plot:
Kieli sees ghosts. It’s an odd ability for a 14-year-old girl, and it makes her a bit of an outcast at her boarding school. Her only friend, in fact, is the (semi-) departed spirit of a girl who used to inhabit her room. That is until the two encounter a young man who appears to share Kieli’s “gift.” It doesn’t take long to discover, though, Harvey is an altogether different sort of creature — one of the infamous Undying, the reanimated corpse of a dead soldier. Could it be that in this cursed fellow Kieli has finally found a kindred spirit? Throwing in her lot with this strange, soulless man and his possessed radio, she means to find out…
Review:
This manga has really unique art and has an unconventional storyline. For some weird reason, I get this shounen-y feel to it; I don't know why. I like how the characters have some sort of past; like a backing to why they act the way they do. I also feel that the love isn't really forced much but I find it somewhat tragic seeing as he is immortal and Kieli is going to die one day... She actually has a spine and she seems strong willed. At least this girl actually tries to do something even though she's only a 14 year old.
Harvey comes across as an indifferent immortal who has lost faith in humanity until he meets Kieli. He soon realises that he does care for people and with Kieli, he helps save them.
I definitely recommend this manga because it's different from the average stuff you come across. I think it somehow made me emotional (and I don't get emotional often) but I wouldn't say I cried >.>

Manga Review: Ludwig Revolution

Name: Ludwig Revolution
Author & Artist: Yuki Kaori
Status: Completed
Chapters: 16
Genres: Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Horror, Romance, Shoujo

Plot: Prince Ludwig isn't your conventional prince charming. He appears to be an unbelievably attractive though in truth, necrophilic(erotic attraction to or sexual contact with corpses) narcissist prince who has a fetish for big breasted women. However his father the King became very displeased with his unusual hobbies and sets him off on a journey to find a bride. So together with his constantly abused manservant Wilhelm, who is in truth his closest person, he sets off on a journey which leads to encounters with infamous fairytale princesses. An even more twisted interpretation of the already twisted original fairy tales from the Grimm Brothers!

Review:
So this story is basically a series of twisted fairy tales from the stories we all know and love (such as Snow White and Cinderella). It's definitely not your cute, average shoujo (if you are familiar with Yuki Kaori's works). The horror element is just the depiction of death and mild gore.

What makes this manga unique is that the story follows a main, male character. The mangaka ingeniously puts a twist to the classic princesses into vain, dark versions. Of course there are some really good characters that aren't totally evil (like Sleeping Beauty).

I find that the characters have a lot of depth and many seem to be three dimensional, which makes the story interesting. Lui (Ludwig), despite being perverted and arrogant, sees easily through the other characters' personality and intentions. Each chapter delivers an unexpected twist that will keep you intrigued. The story, however, does get a bit depressing because nearly every princess dies at the end of the chapter.

Aside from that, it's highly recommended for people who love Yuki sensei's work, solving mysteries, fairy tales and atypical female characters.
