Okay day 4 of Love Manga’s Manhwa Competition, and thanks to all those who put their reasons in for wanting a copy of Netcomics Dokebi Bride.

The best answer I picked was from Tyron but I cannot get to my emails at the moment, so I shall post the response in a bit.

Publisher: Ice Kunion Writer: Hae-Kyung Baek Artist: Hae-Kyung Baek Paperback: 180 pages ISBN: 8952744519 Age: 13+ RRP: $7.50 Buy from Amazon Reviews: Anime on DVD

Up for grabs today are the first two volumes of Ice Kunion’s Bring It On.

This one is real quick and easy to recommend. The art is good, it can be a little over stylised for some peoples tastes (here are the previews for vol.01 and vol.02) but for me I’m quite enjoying it.
The story is really only based around the two main characters Miha and Seung-suh, and their constant fighting and really shouldn’t be lasting for that many volumes, so why on earth am I putting this one up today.

Well quite simply it is a lot of fun. The whole manga is a lot of fun and whilst the premise is ultimately basic it is hilariously executed. I’m hoping that the whole battle of the sexes approach lasts for a little while longer and that it keeps up the intenese pace because this is almost perfect for me.

The rules are simple. If you’d like to pick up the first 2 volumes of Bring It On from Ice Kunion then just drop me an email letting me know why’d you like to read it yourself.

The email and contact details are available from the top left contact page, or use lovemanga @ lovemanga . co . uk

I’ll announce the winner tomorrow along with that day’s choice manhwa title. ^.^

Okay day 2 of Love Manga’s Manhwa Competition, and thanks to all those who put their reasons in for wanting a copy of DQ’s Audition.

The best answer I picked was from vexdragmire with;

I want Audition because it seems so bizarre. The premise is strange; a mixture of detective work and boy bandry with a dash of crazy? Sounds like something my friends would be convinced I made up. I feel vaguely guilty for not owning any manhwa and even more guilty for not owning anything from DramaQueen. You could ease a guilty conscious! And what’s not to love about that?

My thoughts exactly. ^.^

Now on to today’s title…

Publisher: Ice Kunion Writer: Eun-Young Kang Artist: Eun-Young Kang Paperback: 200 pages ISBN: 89-527-4463-2 Age: 11+ RRP: $7.50 Buy from Amazon Reviews:

Up for grabs today are the first two volumes of Hissing by Eun-Young Kang. Now this is a bit of an odd one for me as I’ve not actually read it all myself yet, but I’m offering it up here because of the overwhelmingly positive comments that various people have made to me about this series.

Yes I’ve read a few chapters online and enjoyed what I’ve seen so far (or you could look at the previews provided on the Ice Kunion site Volume 01 and Volume 02).

Again whilst I’ve not read enough yet to really get into the story, which is nearly always the biggest hook for me, I have to say the artwork is beautiful. It is definitely something that would keep me going for a few good chapters because it simply is just so pretty.

The rules are simple. If you’d like to pick up the first 2 volumes of Hissing from Ice Kunion then just drop me an email letting me know why’d you like to read it yourself.

The email and contact details are available from the top left contact page, or use lovemanga @ lovemanga . co . uk

I’ll announce the winner tomorrow along with that day’s choice manhwa title. ^.^

It’s MangaNEXT this weekend which hopefully should be a lot of fun for all those involved.. I’ve mentioned before here on Love Manga that the panel I was most interested in, outside of the few industry ones, was the Manhwa one.

Over the last few months my interest in Manhwa has been peeked by a handful of really good titles that are seriously running the risk of becoming my favourites for this year. In fact this year has been fantastic for Manhwa as a whole.
We’ve had NetComics and Ice Kunion both settle down and start churning out dozens of titles, probably a bit too many really but that’s a topic for another day.
We’ve had the arrival of DramaQueen’s manhwa titles, which has been long awaited. If they handle the manhwa with the same due care and attention they lavish on their Yaoi we are in for a real treat. Plus to me it is reassuring to see them continue with their other lines outside the Yaoi/BL after their shoujo release of Visions of the Other Side.
Then if those three were not enough we get the announcement that Dark Horse are to create a new Manhwa line, which, well you can probably guess my excitement at that. With titles like Banya: The Explosive Delivery Man and Shaman Warrior set for release soon, I sincerely doubt I’m going to be disappointed.

Anyway, I know its not December yet when I do my big Advent Competition, but I’d thought it would be fun to have a week dedicated to giving away just some of those Manhwa titles I’ve been enjoying.

So each day I’ll throw open a different title (I’ll even give the reasons for why I like it, how’s that for a first!) and then all that’s left for you to do is email me a reason why you’d want this particular title.

Simple really. The best answer wins.

Just to give you a quick taster of potential prizes we have Netcomics, Ice Kunion and DramaQueen titles all scattered throughout the week. See you all on Monday.
