Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 8 Up—In the conclusion to this short, romantic manhwa, roommates Bum-Moo and Yun-Ook revisit the family drama that led him to move in with her in the first volume. This includes the death of his mother and stepfather, his relationship with his stepsister, and her jealous husband. The first third of the book is a flashback that follows up on a revelation from the close of the previous book. And with the exception that it doesn't really introduce Yun-Ook, this second book could almost stand alone. It's also startlingly efficient storytelling, depicting the key moments between Bum-Moo and his stepsister with rapidity, selecting only the most important events and their emotional echoes. The last two-thirds return to the hesitant, nascent romance between the two roommates, evoking with finesse the delicacy of their differences in age, experience, and expectation, as well as some of the tension inherent in simply occupying space with someone you're not sure of, romantically. While the visuals, placement of narration, and emotional content are surefooted, the conclusion meanders a little. Such missteps pale in comparison to the effective way in which the artwork makes readers feel, though; the dreamy shojo layouts do precisely what they are intended to.—Benjamin Russell, Belmont High School, NH
