Dokebi Bride 4
Posted: April 10, 2007 Filed under: Dokebi Bride 1 Comment »This volume left off on a wicked cliffhanger. The new arrivals set off several warning bells in my head, and I have a feeling things are finally going to explode epically next volume. I feel bad for Sunbi, while simultaneously being slightly put off by her distance. She did soften up quite a bit in this volume, though. The way she asks her friend from school what he thinks of their relationship is quite funny, and gave me a pretty good idea that… Sunbi is what she is, and I guess she’s not choosing to be distant.
There was a really long subplot for the second half of the volume that involved a really pushy granny. I kinda knew what was coming as soon as Sunbi said something about helping out the old woman to the end of the line, but it was pretty sad when it did finally come all the same. The granny, though she is described as foul mouthed, should not have said “shithead” the way she did. It was disturbing.
