ZombieToast's Manga

This series is more of a 2.5, than a 2, but I don't think it was quite a 3. Beautiful art, like damn-near astounding; however, it's saturated with awkward pacing, strange text bubble placement, and grammatical errors. Lee Sun-young, the creator, is an excellent artist, but when she tried doing both writing and drawing, the result is something that is just, ultimately, disappointing.

For a Clamp work, this is exceptionally bad. I realize that this is an early work, but it was still really rough and had none of the nuances of their newer works. I don't know if it was a parody of Lupin or just a poor man's version, but it was just bad. With terrible characters, spelling errors abound (though, that's on the translation team), and little to redeem it, this isn't the series to read if you want to remember Clamp fondly. I think the series was well-meaning, and there were times when it could have been something, but, all in all, my experiences with this series aren't good.

This series came out when I was younger, and I enjoyed it a lot back then, so I decided to re-read it. Now that I'm older, I can definitely picture myself having enjoyed this when I was younger. It has everything I enjoyed: cute art, nice clothing, pretty people, and romance. Essentially, it has everything but a good story. The art remains good, but I just didn't enjoy it like I once did.

I read the official copies of this series. I'm really not a fan, though. The characters seemed a bit one dimensional, especially the sister. I liked the individual stories, but sometimes the division between the real story and the told ones were too abrupt, and the stories were really hit or miss. The whole story came off as incredibly preachy, and I didn't enjoy it.

An incredible story about the preservation of friendship. It explored serious subject without talking down to its audience or coming off inappropriate. A great series about living life, when life is hard to live.

I read the official translation of this manga, as it is considerably better than its online counterpart. However, after reading it, I feel that I might have overestimated how good it was going to be before I read it. As I do a lot with more popular series that receive acclaim. I felt really neutral towards this series all while reading it. I didn't think any of the characters were particularly good or strong. There were many instances where logic and reason were ignored, and the pacing was incredibly jarring. However, the plot twist and the ending were well-done and saved the series in my mind. Maybe I'll watch the anime and hope for the best.

A lovely guilty pleasure read. As others have said, the ending is lacking, and the character I most enjoyed was pushed to the side by the end. The story pacing was really inconsistent, as well, but, over all, it had good drama and beautiful art. Don't bother reading the shitty translation online, though.

This is a series that I've very glad I've read it at different points in my life. I have a deep respect for a series when it has so much depth to offer, not just for me as an adult, now, but when I was a child too. I would definitely read the official release, however, as the online translation doesn't do it justice.

This is manga I have personally collected, due to its absolutely stunning art. I personally view it as one of the best Korean Manhua I've read. While the ending was sub-par due to being canceled, for its short run it had surprisingly good character development and depth. On top of having god-like art, it has a really nice whimsical feeling to it that I have yet to feel from another manhua. If you can get over the somewhat disappointing ending, I highly recommend buying this one (seeing as it's not fully translated online).

I'm not really sure what to say about this manga that hasn't been said already. It has a nonsensical, boring plot. The subject matter is borderline offensive. It makes use of dated and cliche tropes that are not entertaining or unique in any way, and the characters and their motivations are paper-thin.
