4.0 out of 5 stars
An evolving work, July 12, 2004
This review is from: Kill Me, Kiss Me, Book 1 (Paperback)
I haven't found this on anyone's "recommended lists", so I wanted to do a review on it. Kill me, Kiss me is not something you are going to lose yourself in. Not like Gravitation. (If you are reading this, and haven't gotten Gravitation, go get that and then think of getting this.) Once getting past the story's first few pages, things will fall into place nicely. I read the first few pages, and cast it aside. I picked it up again out of pity, and read non stop through the second volume. The art is splendid. I love this art style. The story is interesting, but it suffers a little from character overload. It switches around too. You get attached to someone, and then Lee Young Yuu decides to introduce someone else. It's a little aggravating I guess. : ) Another thing that hurts the story is that it moves way too quickly. I like the characters, except they seem a bit inconsistent at times. But, it's an evolving story, and it improves with every page. It's nice to have this while I'm in between mangas, waiting for the next Gravitation to come out. It was fun, and I will give volume 3 a chance to hook me.

Hooked, July 18, 2004
This review is from: Kill Me, Kiss Me, Book 1 (Paperback)
When I first read the cover I thought it would be interesting. But it totally blew my ideas away. The main plot idea is a little over used. But what happens once Teas gets to her cousins school is way funny. Not only does she get beaten by the school bully. He then asks her to join his gang. But Kun is catching on to the fact that Jung-woo just might be a girl. Now some of the boys are doubting their sexuality. As Teas makes her cousin more popular than he would like. While Jung-woo makes all the girls not talk to her any more. The first volume centers around Tea and her pretending to be her cousin. But there also great character developments with the bully and the model. The story is totally sweet and has really nice illustartions. The second book centers around Jung-woo and the after math of his cousin. So it seems that the main characters piviot each volume. Making it even more interesting. If you like humor, romance, and a few good old fashion beatings now and then be sure to read Kill Me Kiss Me. It is sure to entertain many

What Happened?!?!, December 14, 2006
This review is from: Kill Me, Kiss Me, Book 1 (Paperback)
Before I give anything a review I read at least 4 volumes in the series and I can honestly say that this is the first time my opinion has completely changed for the worse after reading the other volumes. In all fairness, I will say that volume 1 was great, I loved it, and I truly believe it should have been a stand alone story. Sure, the plot has been used before, girl goes to an all guys school, pretends to be a guy to be close to the one she loves, chaos ensues. . . Anyone who reads shoujo knows this plot. But here's the thing: this plot is only in the first volume. After that both Jung-Woo and Tae Yeon go back to their own schools and a whole new plot comes into play: lots of gang wars, new characters and a strange and slightly confusing storyline. Maybe it was confusing because it started out as one thing and ended up something completely different. Had I only read vol. 1, this series would have had a much higher grade.
The Verdict:
If you want a good `girl goes to an all-guy's school' manga read Hana-Kimi, if you like to have the plot switch on you after volume 1, this series is for you. C
