With her grandmother gone, Sunbi experiences the twin pains of loss and loneliness. Through frightening and unceasing attacks by the wandering stray demons who find her to be an ideal host, Sunbi discovers just how dangerous this hidden world is, and how much her grandmother had protected her by shielding her from it. There is no one to care for her now. To make matters worse, in the midst of this grief and chaos Sunbi's dead mother visits her as a hideous demon and kills her only friend, Solbang. But just when she thinks she has no one to run to, she encounters a monk who teaches her that the secret of the demons lay in their ability to use her own fears against her. To survive, she must confront her greatest fear and traverse its terrible depths. What is Sunbi most afraid of? Has her grandmother forsaken her? Watch Sunbi as she bravely fights against the sinister dokebis in Volume 2 of her strange world!

Beautiful artwork, engaging characters,
By linuxlibrarian (MA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dokebi Bride Volume 2 (v. 2) (Paperback)
I bought Dokebi Bride vol. 1 and 2 because the artwork (even the limited amount that was shown on Amazon's search inside feature) was absolutely breathtaking. I am not a huge fan of the traditional, "cartoony" sort of graphic novel, and though it does occasionally make appearances in Dokebi Bride, the artwork is mostly carefully done, intricate, delicate, detailed and-- beautiful.
Vol. 1, like most manga/graphic novels tends to be less on plot and more on introduction (which is as it should be). That being said, I was intrigued enough by young Sunbi, her grandmother, and the estranged father to read on to volume 2. Volume 2 was absolutely amazing. Dark, yes. It has some scary images, including a "The Grudge"-like monster. I don't think it would be anything to frighten a more mature young teen, but it will put a little trepidation in their hearts next time they look in a mirror. :) The story just starts to develop in Volume 2, as Sunbi attends school (or doesn't attend, as the case may be) in Seoul, and she finds a friend, though reluctantly on her part, in the class president. I have no complaints on the story line, though the translation seems a little off in places. I am eagerly looking forward to Volume 3 in September.
