Model Volume 5

I really enjoyed this book! Model Vol. 5 is, without a doubt the best one yet in Lee So-Young's gothic/romantic series. The art is incredible and the detail and effort that the author put into this book is clearly visible. Futhermore, this is a real page turner and you won't know it's the end unitl you run out of pages! I would definately reccomend this book to anyone who love manga!

Model(Model Series)

I love this manga book! It is awesome. It is about a girl named Jae who goes to art school. One night her friend dumps a guy(a very handsome guy) on her couch. That night, with the still passed out stranger on her couch, she has a dream that the stranger bit her. When she wakes up she finds that it wasn't a dream. They make a deal together. In this deal Jae gets to paint a portrait of Micheal, the stranger, and he gets to drink her blood. ( If you haven't figured it out Micheal is a vampire.) Jae goes to live at Micheal's mansion, where she meets Ken and Eva. In this story Jae finds her self caught up in a web of mystery...and attraction.

Addiction happens so easily...

I highly, highly, highly recommend this manhwa to anyone that likes gothic/dark stories, romance, vampires, or all three. I read the first one, and rushed out the next day to get the second one. I got the third one today, and finished it in under an hour--I'm itching to get the fourth, fifth, sixth, whatever...Lee So-Young is such an amazing author/artist/creator....the story is amazing, the characters are believable, so much so, that I wish they were real. Go out and buy this series, it is amazing...the only bad thing about it is that the books are not being written fast enough for my liking, but that's ok--it gives us all something to look forward to! :)

Oh my god, being a comic freak, I was trying to find something that would curb my enthusiasm until the next X-men came out. i found Model one and two in our local book store and started reading, fell in love and cannot wait for the next one to show... Jae is absolutely beautiful, though timeline is a little slow, and you want her and Michael to get together sooner, but ah well.

A great vampire manga.

Jea has graduated and moved to Europe to pursue her dream to become an artist. She's been living there for four years and one day her boy-magnet girlfriend Melissa comes knocking at her door with the most beautiful, drunken young man you could ever see begging her to let him stay the night at her house as he has passed out. She gets totally pissed off at her for leaving him there to go see her boyfriend, especially considering she was flirting with him all night beforehand. She's unable to sleep that night on behalf of there being a complete stranger in her house and then has a dream of him pinning her to the bed and biting into her neck. She wakes to believe it was all a dream and when she steps out of bed to go get a glass of water, already feeling paranoid enough as it is, steps on his arm outstratched from underneath her bed to realize he actually had bitten her, and after stepping on his arm he gets up on her bed and bites her neck again still drunken all this time. After waking up from having passed out she finds herself inspired and begining to sketch him...until he wakes up and detests it! He blows his top about her having undressed his upper have for the purpose of the sketch. He's mad that a mear mortal dared to touch his body.(*cough Narcissist.*cough, damn those allergies!) She goes on to tell him that she considered them even for him haven drank her blood, and not having realized he had drank her blood from being intoxicated, he throws up. Although realizing her blood isn't "Tainted", he admits to liking her "Type" of blood and they strike a deal. "Quid Pro Quo", he poses as her model in return for her blood and the story begins. I'm still reading through this first book of it that I got earlier today, but I find it to have quite beautiful artwork and a very interesting story so far. If you like vampires (*cough He's hot too.*cough) as much as I do, you should definitly buy this first book. If you do I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
