Beautiful artwork, engaging characters
I bought Dokebi Bride vol. 1 and 2 because the artwork (even the limited amount that was shown on Amazon's search inside feature) was absolutely breathtaking. I am not a huge fan of the traditional, "cartoony" sort of graphic novel, and though it does occasionally make appearances in Dokebi Bride, the artwork is mostly carefully done, intricate, delicate, detailed and-- beautiful.Vol. 1, like most manga/graphic novels tends to be less on plot and more on introduction (which is as it should be). That being said, I was intrigued enough by young Sunbi, her grandmother, and the estranged father to read on to volume 2.Volume 2 was absolutely amazing. Dark, yes. It has some scary images, including a "The Grudge"-like monster. I don't think it would be anything to frighten a more mature young teen, but it will put a little trepidation in their hearts next time they look in a mirror. :)The story just starts to develop in Volume 2, as Sunbi attends school (or doesn't attend, as the case may be) in Seoul, and she finds a friend, though reluctantly on her part, in the class president.I have no complaints on the story line, though the translation seems a little off in places.I am eagerly looking forward to Volume 3 in September.
