You’re So Cool 4

YoungHee Lee – Yen Press – 2009 – 6 volumes
Wow. I never thought I would like this series as much as I do, but volume four really put things over the edge for me. Again, it’s not overtly amazing. I’m not saying you should rush out and buy it. But it is an absolutely adorable shoujo romance, and this volume was full of moments that have been hinted at previously. Seung-Ha comes around and finally admits to himself and Nan-Woo that he likes her, and the two start exchanging goofy, but really adorable, moments of affection. That alone made everything here worth it.
Some more of Seung-Ha’s background was revealed, and I’m pretty sure this is all the detail we’re going to get, which was enough for me. He lets Nan-Woo see everything about himself, and she starts to worry just as things in his home life start getting weird again. Like his mom coming around for the first time in years.
Elsewhere, we still have the romance between Jay and Hyun-Ho. And wait… could it be… an unrequieted gay romance? The cute, feminine-looking boy turns the other down because he doesn’t want to be in a relationship? Unprecedented!
They will hook up before the end of the series, I’m sure. The fact they didn’t immediately start making out when Hyun-Ho subtley (and I mean… really subtley) made his feelings known raised my opinion of the series even more.
Now I’m all caught up and depressed because it’ll be another couple months before the next volume comes out. Sigh. In the meantime, this was probably my favorite of the cutie Korean comic that Yen Press has released so far, excluding Goong… which is different, and better, but still kind of a cutey Korean comic, I guess.
