Yoo Ah Dok-Jon






Author : Im Ae-joo


I have one piece of advice for all of you. Don't read it. It is the same generic crap as most harem manga. the only key difference is that this is a manhwa so the names are a bit different. But that is  acceptable. The reason its not worth the effort is that it is incomplete. I mean it was discontinued. There is no way for you to know the ending.

Premise 3/5
The main Character is the heir to a very rich and powerful family. Its his responsibility to chose a wife who will bring respect and wealth to his family. What's freaky is his mothers actions to make sure that he does so. In the end he is given time until the end of his high school to choose his fiancée. Else he must marry whomever his mother chooses - No doubt the woman will have the same twisted personality as his mother.



Plot and pace 2/5
Its a standard harem shounen manga. So there are no unexpected twists per se. The female lead is stronger than the male one and is pretty oblivious to her own feelings. A second potential candidtate comes along mistaking the female lead for the male one and falls in love with her. Later on finding out the truth her feelings are transferred onto the male lead. There is some action but that ends quickly. And as the manga was discontinued after 15 chapters just as the story was getting interesting. Why? no fucking clue.

Characters 2/5
There is not much time to develop any character sufficiently.
The main lead is a rich high schooler. He seems to have endured some trauma during his child hood making him  adversarial with his mother. Overall he exhibits a delinquent like behaviour and is undeniably cocky while at his core being a nice guy.
The lead female is a foreign exchange student. She seem to be trained in some form of martial arts and is stronger than most males including the protagonist. She is often mistaken for a guy due to her height.
As far as villains go the mother is the one that comes to mind. throughout the story she appears as a very negative character who pulls the string behind the scenes.

Art 3/5
Pretty average./ nothing special here folks. The action sequences are understated and the characters are not what you can call memorable.

Verdict : As far as a shounen manga is concerned its an average Harem-Action manga. But it has a major flaw, unforgivable in any story. It lacks an ending!

So my advice - Screw it.
