This is the story of a Korean village girl who is sacrificed to the Water God in exchange for rain to end the village's five year long drought. Soah is that girl and she is set adrift where she eventually ends up on the island of the Water God who is an insufferable child. But he is keeping a secret from her, at night her turns into a full grown man and Soah meets this man and has feelings for him. Wonderful drawing, beautiful features on the women. A mixture of art styles are used, while most of it is realistic portrayals (which I prefer) there are times the people are reduced to miniature (chibi?). The story is promising; I'll admit to being a bit confused at times but I enjoyed it more as it went along and I'm interested to see where the story will go with Volume 2. ( )

Beautiful artwork. ( )

Korean retelling of "Cupid and Psyche," or possibly some Korean myth I don't recognize. The translation and production quality are excellent; I only wish for more cultural notes.The art is gorgeous. ( )

Stunningly pretty art (especially the full-color pages that Dark Horse has fortunately chosen to preserve) accompanies what could be a fairly mediocre story--a young, beautiful girl is sacrificed to marry a god, so that he will lift a drought on her family's country. The god turns out to have a daytime Small Obnoxious Boy body, and a nighttime Hot Studmuffin body, but initially he tells her that she is two different people, and she thinks the Small Obnoxious Boy is her husband. By the second book, though, she's figuring out on her own that they may well be the same person--thus saving her from the fate of resembling in any way Yu Watase's brainless, world-traveling Miaka, or other numbskulls of her ilk.

Pretty, not perfect, but certainly worth reading. ( )

Beautifully drawn and wonderful storyline and cast of characters. To draw a comparasion, picture Neil Gaiman's Endless with a dash of Tomoko Hayakawa's The Wallflower chibi humor. My only regret is that the volumes don't come out fast enough :) ( )
