Second Class, Limited

I was drawn by the cover of this manga the first time I saw it on Amazon. Then on a visit to Borders some time ago I was able to browse it and BINGO! Love at First Sight! Unbalancex2 story has no mechas, no alien beauties, no villains. It is a fair romance with a healthy dose of drama on it. The main famale character is really vicious at first, but we discover she has more to her, as well as the main male character. The art is really beautiful, and the korean culture is shown on it, which is different from japanese as we are used to see on most mangas dealing with this kind of plot. Interesting to see some differences even on beauty concepts between Japanese and Korean cultures: In Japan, the cute girls are the short, petite girls (many times we see tall characters unsure of themselves regarding appearance, like Motoko from Love Hina or Sakaki from Azumanga Daioh. They are beautiful, but tall, which is not well seen in Japan). Now in Korea the tall girls are seen as beautiful and attractive. We see that here, as the main female is tall and full bodied, not short and thin. Eh, Korean standards match my own I am eagerly awaiting for the reissue of issue 2 next Dec. 10, and the oncoming issue 3 next month. ![]()
