Kara and Lee YunHee - Angel Diary, vol. 01-02 (Eng. trans.)
Tue, Nov. 27th, 2007 04:58 pmThe princess of angels has run away to earth to avoid her betrothal to the king of hell and is now happily disguised as a boy. The four guardians of heaven have to find her, and her male friend at school seems to know a lot more than he lets on...
This is pure fluff, but it's fun fluff, and hey, it's got cross-dressing, heaven, hell, and the king of hell! Dong-Young (orig. Chun-Yoo the angel princess) is naturally clueless about most things, the guardians are probably going to be overprotective, and I am betting at least one develops a crush on her. Bi-Wal (the male friend who I am guessing is the king of hell. Given the way the series is going, that is so not a spoiler) is hot and overprotective and has a smirky smile that he uses to torment pretty much everyone.
I am fairly certain that absolutely nothing that happens will be surprising, but the art is pretty, and did I mention that whole angels and demons thing?

Kara and Lee Chi Hyong - Demon Diary, vol. 1 (Eng. trans.)

Er, this one bored me to tears. The premise is that Raenef must learn to behave like a proper demon in order to ascend to his place as demon lord. His teacher in such matters as to proper demon behavior is Eclipse. This could be a very interesting premise, full of much darkness and angst and whatnot, considering that Raenef isn't so good at being a demon and considering that Eclipse is very undemonly fond of his pupil and that both are incredibly gorgeous guys. Alas, mostly it's played for laughs, with Raenef being too cute for words. Raenef is stupid. Even worse, Raenef is boring. I could like Eclipse and the softening of his cold demon heart, except that it is softened by Raenef, which I completely don't understand.
Well, the art is pretty, at least.
