I really need a manga/manhwa/manhua icon instead, huh?

( Spoilers )

All in all, not as good as the first volume and the series ended a little too fast for me—I could have actually read at least a volume or two after the ending. Still, the art is absolutely gorgeous, and I still like the slice-of-life-ness and the stillness that the manhwaga likes to focus on.

Jang Yun-Ook is an illustrator who just got her latest credit card bill, prompting her to try to rent out a room to someone who will only sleep there. Lee Bum-Moo ends up as her roommate, and though the two argue a little at first, they soon establish a rhythm.

Not much happens in this volume: Lee Bum-Moo goes about on his random part-time jobs, Jang Yun-Ook illustrates, and they talk about cigarette brands and sometimes he tries to get her to bring him an umbrella when it rains.

This is by the same manhwaga who did "The Poet Who Buys Words," and I really love her art. There's not actually that much to this volume, but I just like the little moments and the age difference between Yun-Ook and Bum-Moo (she's seven years older), and, of course, I am a sucker for the pretty.

Sadly, I don't think I'll like the second half as much, as there are some reveals near the end that had me rolling my eyes a bit. They detract from the slice-of-life, quiet melancholy of most of the volume. Then again, I don't even know when the second half will be out, as it looks like Ice Kunion was bought out by Yen Press and Amazon's date of release is from 2007.
