Manhwaka: Wann
Genre: Slice-of-life/Romance/Shoujo
Review Status: Incomplete (3 Volume/6 Volumes)
Licensed: Yes, this manhwa is licensed in the US. I read it at NETCOMICS.
Art: The art looks like fairly typical shoujo art, but I’m highly impressed by the quality of the pictures I’m reading. It’s almost as good as having the physical volumes! Anycase, the art. The girls are pretty, the boys are bishie, and there is lovely detail on clothing but not so much on anything else. There is an interesting, sketch-like quality to the art that makes it more visually interesting than some of the other manhwa I’ve read.
Summary: Jay Jin is the headstrong teenage rebel, determined to prove she’s serious about making art. J. Max is the tall debonair foreigner, in Korea on business, with more–much more–to his background than he lets on. On the surface, it would seem as though Jay and J. have nothing in common…until a chance encounter in a hotel lobby sparks a mysterious attraction. Will true love prove strong enough to overcome the language barrier, not to mention the thousands of miles separating two attractive people? Then there are the interventions of friends and family who think they know best…as well as a disastrous encounter with spicy chicken kebab! A giddy romantic fable for our ever-shrinking world, 100% Perfect Girl demonstrates the power of chemistry to conquer all. (amazon.com)
Review: 100% Perfect Girl is a manhwa I’d been hearing a lot about, and when I got the chance to read it, I grabbed it! First off, I want to make something clear; this is an utterly idealized fairy-tale romance. It’s the stuff of romance novels crossed with teen novels with a dash of fairy tale thrown in. It is utter fluff. This isn’t really a bad thing, necessarily, and manages to throw itself into the fluff with all it has. If you’re going to do it, do it all the way, right?
