Sooha Jung is a student in the last year of her middle-school and managed to fail her exams, and as such thinks her mother will send her to some factory where she will work day and night or as a maid in some house where she will live a very lonely and unhappy life.
She feels she is at a dead-end crisis in her life and wonders what could be round the corner for her, though she does not consider the progression beneficial to her.
Sooha thinks that she wants to disappear off the face of the earth when a beautiful stranger with long, flowing blond hair approaches her and says how difficult it was trying to keep his chastity from the others who were admiring him when he came to the world.
The stranger tells her he listened to her plea for going to another world where she thought her life would be better than it is there in Korea, and Sooha is baffled he could hear her when she only thought it. She discovers he has great hearing. They get together and have a small meal in a snack bar, where they reveal their names and he says his name is Ganesha of the Beta Gender or submissive male species in his world, And he thinks it is the same in her world as she is dressed in a tomboyish way, he still thinks she is a male.
Although it causes her anxiety being mistaken for a male, she has been a tomboy all her life and most of the people she has known have thought she was a boy rather than a girl as she shows no female attributes with the clothes she wears.
Sooha asks Ganesha where he is from and he tells her it is a faraway land called, The Para Empire and he has been sent on a special mission he wants her to become a part of where in his world women are the keepers of men and they are the slaves in that world.
Sooha shows her surprise when he asks her to go with him back to her kingdom and help him free the male population, where who knows what could be waiting for her.
Will she journey to the faraway place where Ganesha is from, or will she face her mother's wrath of placing her in a job that would seem like purgatory to be?
The artwork is very much like that of the old Art Nouveau period and creates a pleasing look that makes the male character seem delicate and wild.
The story is fun and shows how one girl can save another world even if she has failed in her own.
It is about how men have to be freed from the bonds of oppression from the opposite gender.
This manga would be well recommended for those who like a different slant on a classic idea of a manly girl and a feminine male interacting.
This first volume is comical, ethereal and a satisfying read.

Manhwa (komik Korea) yg satu ini sbnrnya dibacanya thn 2009. Tapi baru nemu di Goodreads juga. Sekalian kumasukkan link resensi yg kubuat di blog di tahun 2009. Manhwa ini adalah salah satu manhwa favoritku dari semua manhwa yg pernah kubaca selama ini. Tapi sayangnya, manhwa ini statusnya hiatus dan sepertinya gak bakal dilanjutin lagi ama pengarangnya, jadinya nebak2 sendiri aja deh ending-nya gmn. Tapi menurutku sih tetap wajib baca deh pokoknya, rugi kalo dilewatin, krn isinya bagus bgt. :)
Ide ceritanya hampir sama dgn manga Silver Valkyries karya Sachimi Riho. Tentang dimensi lain tempat para pria jadi budak wanita. Krn muak disiksa para wanita ini, maka operasi pembebasan para pria ini pun direncanakan.
Resensi lengkapnya sudah ada di blog-ku. Tapi krn sangat sangat panjang sekali resensinya buat dikopikan ke sini, silakan langsung baca di blog aja.

What can I say - the title intrigued me.
Sooha has just failed her high school entrance exams and wants to drop off the face of the earth. She is approached by a weird (but pretty) guy, who mistakes her for a man and asks her to come to his country to save the men from the dominating women. Sooha figures, why not? She secretly likes the sound of it, and isn't actually planning on helping the men, but taking full advantage of a place where women rule.
It's not another country, but another world that Ganesha takes her too - and it's not just run by women, but the men are traded and sold as slaves, and killed when the women are bored with them. It's a very interesting twist and much more serious than I expected. The artwork isn't outstanding, but I saw a lot of improvement just in the first volume, so it should be neat to watch it evolve over time.

Ok, this had a strange but interesting twist. Sooha is a girl who goes to another world and is believed to be a "chosen one". The twist is men are enslaved and persecuted by a society of amazon-type women. Sooha, whom they believe is a boy, is taken in by a secret group of male rebels who are fighting to obtain male freedom. It was really bizarre to see male slaves being threatened by women....including the threat of rape. We'll see how it goes...
