Customer Reviews

Addicting!

When I picked up this book in my library while searching through the racks, it didn't seem to hold much promise. The plot seemed like pure fluff and the cliches overused. Generally, I go for something more thought provoking. But...oh boy, was I wrong. The fantastic art style and quick plot immediately sucked me in. I finished three volumes just sitting in the chair in the library, desperately turning the next page. I actually jumped when somebody came up the stairs, I was so engrossed. I was devestated when they didn't have Volume 4 and no other libraries in my area do... But enough about me (was that about me?). I highly recommend this to anybody, even if it doesn't seem like their type. I'm normally a shonen person. I'll have to go out and buy the next few volumes....But take my word for it, it would be a worthwhile buy.

Hooked

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

An evolving work

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.

Great read

A new slew of manga are coming out, with girls pretending to be boys but this one, if you buy any, is one you should check out, just for the orginality.Tae pretends to be a boy to go to her cousin's school with her crush, the idol Kun goes to school, while her cousin goes to her school. What i enjoyed was that she was immediatly discovered, and they both wreck chaos on each other's lives. It was rather cute, and the artwork is very nice, not the most beautiful, but it achieves its purpose and the guys are beautiful. The friendships between the 4 main characters is interesting with not a perfect relationship, and i will buying the next volume without a doubt.

Great Story!

It's been done! Girl Pretends to be Boy so that she can get close to the man of her dreams, but this one has a few twists! I really enjoyed volume 1 and I'm looking forward to future volumes. The illustrations are great! You definatly won't be disappointed!
