H20 (Manhwa)

The thing I found the most interesting with this manwha was, that instead of following one character and that persons view and life, in this you get to follow the lives of six different people. Some more then others but still all six of them.
Myunga and Taek and their characters and relationship reminds me a bit of Seung-Hoo and Nan-Woo in You're so cool. But it's not something you get bothered by or anything.
The story holds a lot of serious issues but can also get really funny and sometimes out right crazy.
The story is not one of those who tends to spin out of control, it stays on track and that is one of the many great things about H2O.
The art is beautiful and I really enjoyed this serie, maybe the ending was a bit abrupt but since the serie was so good it's okay.
The name H2O can be a bit missleading and leave you to wonder what it has to do with the serie, but the reason for it is presented in the beginning, it's just that it rarely comes back to that explanation and one tend to forget it.
To sum it up, this serie is worth the read and defenitly something to check out. read more

I was reluctant to read this manhwa in the beginning but after a few pages i just couldn't stop reading.

Story: 10/10
The story is about six people with their fates interwoven. The beginning starts off as a typical shoujo plotline would but evolves into something new and original. While fairly predictable at points, it was very beautifully crafted.

Art: 10/10
The art was nice but nothing outstanding. While there wasn't anything particularly extraordinary about it, i liked the way the expressions were drawn because they all fit the personalities of their characters. Some characters ended up looking alike but their expressions distinguished them from one another. When one character was kind, their expression would be gentle. if another was arrogant, their face would show them as haughty and condescending. Overall, while the style of the art was not noteworthy, the mangaka got her message across fittingly.

character: 9/10
I ended up loving each of the characters except one which is why the score is a 9/10 although that probably isn't good justification. In the tangled web of love that this story weaves, each character ended up being completely different from one another which was great. Each had a strong personality and are linked by the fact that they dont quite fit into their society as they are. This is the factor that ties all of these misfits together. Furthermore, not one character was completely onesided but all had depth and a story behind them. As the plot progressed, each evolved and changed upon meeting new people. they work towards their goals and discover what they want in life which is the best part about the characters because they are realistic and their experiences are tangible.

enjoyment: 10/10
On this surface this wasn't a particularly outstanding or memorable story but reading it made me feel like I was a part of each character's life, not just like an outsider reading a story far from my own reality. Each character was well done and the story is definitely a must read. read more
