Bride of the Water God Volume I caught my attention so I decided to give volume II a go.
Everyone is back in volume II and this time things are heating up with Soah and Mui. But the problem is she is married to Habaek, who is a child. How can she stay faithful to her husband(the kid) when she is starting to fall in love with Mui? But, could Habaek and Mui be the same person?
Once again we have the colorful casts of gods and goddesses, including Habaek's mother who stops by for a visit and she brings trouble with her.
As with the first volume the art in this one is great, and I really enjoyed it. But as with volume one not much happens. It appears that manga is pretty slow compared to American comics. Still, something in this series has caught my attention because I bought volume III on Amazon.
As I read this series it is geared towards the ladies. I don't think men would enjoy this at all because there isnt a lot of action. There is a lot of angst though.
I'm looking forward to volume III

Thanks for the review, I may pick this up for my library! Fun fact if you're interseted, it turns out this is not Japanese Manga but actually Korean Manhwa. Which makes it a nice change from the manga norm at my library! (If you're not sure where the book is originally from, you can usually guess by the characters' lips: if they have them, it's manhwa. If they don't, is manga.)
I never knew that about the lips thing! Now I am going to look at other books and see if they have lips! :) Thanks for the tip!
I might have to look at more Korean books. I'm really enjoying this one.
