Hilariously entertaining and EGL ^_^

If you're a fan of EGL (elegant gothic lolita) fashion or jrock music you will probably enjoy this a lot. The story revolves around magicians that are mostly hot sexy guys with a neighbour that looks like Mana and her cute but bratty daughter. At times, this got quite wacky so aside from reading the bubbles be sure to take a closer look to the amazing drawings. Hee hee I actually laughed out loud *lol* because the story is really funny. There is actually a story but since it's the first volume, you mainly get introduced to the main characters and a new boy *very cute* that possesses many gifts. Not much is given about him but obviously it will be revealed later on the next volume *hopefully* ^_^

It's like Demon Diary meets Malice Mizer.

Nothing Harry Potter about this book. This fun, humerous, very bishounen manga will keep you drooling & rolling on the floor (that's a good thing) It has authentic Gothic Lolita fashion, Mana from Moi Dix Mois, cameo apperences by Gackt & Shazna's Izam, & this cute evil guy with a crown made of chocolate chip cookies & cabbage.

Well TokyoPop it's about Frickin' Time!!!!

Having this manwha published was one of the BEST things ever for me. Being Korean myself, I enjoyed reading this VERY VERY much. It's always nice to see how different things are in different places. Anyways...the book itself was awesome, it had comedy, drama, romance, action, and angst all rolled into one, for ONE THRILLING PACKAGE! But seriously some of the stuff in there is just HILARIOUS, it will have you rolling. I can't wait until the next one is published, yay!!

A Malice Mizer look alike..... oh NOOOOO!!!

Under the Glass Moon is a cool book with just beautiful people. But Laday Batolli looks like Mana for Malice Mizer(look into J-pop). With all the trademarks of the blue lips, shades of blue/yellow curly hair.I wander what what Mana would think of this if she read as if it was part of her "Gothic Lolita" fashion line buiseness.For those who don 't know Man, she is the former member of the Malice Mizer gothic band. The secret is that she is a guy because she crossdress in girls clothing. The reason of it is because his theory that if girls wear skirts then he can do it too. .... Well this book is filled with wonder and vividness although this book has a "Can you find me Waldo" thing. But I may recommend this as a must have for j-pop or Malice Mizer fans.

One of the Best

Under the Glass Moon has definately won my interest and has kept me off the edge of my seat while reading. It's story is not dry, it presents both romance and action, and the artwork is incredibly well-developed. I myself am Korean, and I have witnessed lots of great Korean manhwa, but this certainly has beaten the others when it comes to story development.The characters all seem to interact with one another quite well, and they all come with their own unique personalities, which makes them each likeable. Personally, I simply adore Luel, the shy and quiet Alchemist who is the younger brother of Dark Wizard Luka, the greatest dark magic user of the 21st century. He first appears to be the simple type, but later on I saw how he presents himself as a character and that had me attached to him, however, all the other characters are just as great as well.If you want to learn more of the story itself, I strongly suggest that you purchase this book, it'll change your life and your taste in manga FOREVER!!
