Comic, Vol. 3 (Comic Graphic Novel, 3)

From School Library Journal Grade 7 UpIn this manhwa series, readers will savor the rich graphics and interesting love story in spite of the trite dialogue. It seems that only Alice is distressed about her high school's sudden bankruptcy and the subsequent merger with an allboys' school. While her friends are giddy over the prospect of attending class with Patrick Kang, the hot manhwa artist dubbed the 'DiCaprio of Seomoon,' Alice is nervous about seeing Patrick (her lovehate romantic prospect) outside the studio. When Alice's former teacher and current crush goes to Taiwan, he leaves Alice a note enlightening readers about their complicated teacherstudent relationship. While much of the book focuses on Alice's turmoil over her intense and conflicting feelings for Mr. Hwang and Patrick, it is Alice's sexy, beautiful friend Daria who stands out in this story and is featured on the cover. Her inexplicable ability to calm the violent tempers of the mysterious men who arrive at the girls' school will intrigue readers. Teens will ignore such lines as 'Why so glum chum?' or 'There you go again! Bigmouthed frog!' and instead appreciate the art.Kimberly Garnick Giarratano, Rockaway Township Public Library, NJ Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
