The only reason I wanted to write a review for this manwha is to tell you otakus out there that if you're intrested in reading this, don't buy the Tokyopop English translation. There are many grammatical and printing errors. "You're instead of your", and all that. The worst is, " She must've felt same. I feel the really sorry for her." You might as well try to find it online.
That being said, it does have a good story and I like the characters. I've come to notice thta manwha is usually divided in two categories: love stories about pop idols and reflective, introspective stories

I'm amazed this doesn't have any reviews and I sincerely hope me writing this short review (because I have no critisisms for it) gets more people to read it because this is a mind-blower, folks. A deeply psychological work, the unique, original stories are propelled by the beautiful art. I read it several times over which is unusual for me, but the stories were just that good. Even the characters, who were only aqaunted with breifly, are well thought out, multi-dementional personas and as complex as any real person. I honestly love this manga and I hope it becomes more popular one day.

Basilis no Musume
(Manga)
add
Basilisk no Musume is a manga that can't seem to make up its mind. As a reader, I was confused whether I should root for the heroine or not. The prolouge of the story is excellent but once it gets to the point, we're lead in so many dirrections, its difficult to keep up. The mangaka Chiho Saito's characters almost always have two faces to them, so the sudden change in character's motivations or nature was expected, but I felt like I was made to go through a lot just to wind up right back where I was before. The ending was also very sad.

Green Legend Ran
(Anime)
add
Green Legend Ran is the kind of anime you'd to see on the sci fi channel at four in the morning one night out of the blue and absolutely love. It's really a diamond in the rough, folks. The story might seem unoriginal but it was a fairly unexplored concept when it was made. The idea is a little similar to Trigun and Origin: Spirits of the past, which I think some's reccomended. It's darker in tone, though, and the conclusion is a little abrupt. The art isn't outstanding but it serves it's purpose. Some characters are more thought out design-wise than others, which is

Boku no Marie
(Anime)
add
My Dear Marie is a fairly old anime series with little in the way of story or artistic value. It's very average. BUT the english dub is pretty frickin funny. If you like old anime and you're in for some laughs, check this out.

Galaxy Frauline Yuna is an adaption of a video game, I believe of the same name. It's strictly for people who like 90's anime, because it is very much a product of the period in which it was produced- if that makes sense. It's an overly sweet story about a remarkably sweet girl and her very sweet friends who save the universe a number of times with their mechanical armour, giant robots, and space ships. Theres also karaoke, a lesson in how to make the perfect fried egg, and teen idols. But despite appearances, there is a little bit of shojo ai so it's not

Fushigi na Koala Blinky
(Anime)
add
Fushigi na Koala Blinky, or Noozles, as it was know in the U.S. Is an old anime that aired on Nickelodeon in the 1990's. If you're cynical in anyway, an serious adult, or a heartless, unimaginative fool, you won't like this anime. Noozles is a kids show and if you grew up watching it like I did, you could probably watch it again several times because there's no way any kid out there wouldn't like this. Seriously, it was that frickin entertaining. The story itself is utterly ridiculous which is probably the best thing about the series. The art is good for a kids show,

Mamono Hunter Youko
(Anime)
add
Devil Hunter Yohko is a short series from the 90s that's perfect for fans of panty flashes, girls with weapons, and 90's anime artstyle (I do). I first watched this when I was about nine (totally not okay) but it's better suited to teens and young adults. I used to rent it from a local video place that had lots of anime (most of it innapropriate for small children, but I watched it anyway. -_-) and I found the whole series cheap at a Half Price Bookstore when I was in high school. Because I idolized sexy kick ass women like Yohko when I was
