Customer Reviews

Cynical Orange is pretty juicy!

At first when reading this manga I thought, "Ok, so this is the korean version of Peach Girl right?" ...Right? Pretty girl is made fun of by all the other girls cause she's pretty. On her right is Maha Jang (if this were Peach Girl, he'd be the Kiley of the manga), who hangs out everyday after school just waiting to catch a glimpse of her. On her left is Jung Yun (in Peach Girl style, this would be the Toji), whom she's liked since middle school but he doesn't even give her the time of day! Well this manga is on a different course than Peach Girl! The main character, Hye-min, for example, isn't as nice as she appears to be. Maha Jang isn't exactly what he appears to be either. And in this manga, nothing is what it seems! This manga has fabulous characterization. Hye-min's a great, really likeable lead, and how anyone couldn't like her crazy cousin Shin-Bi is beyond me. The artwork style is whispy and plentiful with hotness! After reading the second volume today -- it's affirmed, I LOVE Cynical Orange. Anyone with a taste for shoujo (even though this Manwha, korean manga) will really get into this series. The day I began reading this, I had only planned to read the first half but I ended up reading the whole thing! It's funny, tasteful, and deep. Read Cynical Orange! It's addicting!

don't hate her cause she's beautiful

poor thing, she's the only beautiful girl I've ever met without at least one designated duff friend, or even any friends at all. She does however have a nutty older cousin, and a goofy pretty boy stalker. Great for laughs, lovely scenes, and some surprising character depth...I'd reccomend it to anyone with a sense of humor
