Took me a little while to get back into this one. I was slightly confused by what was going on at the start. But once it got going it was alright.

Medea is now helping rid Ryang of his evil affinities but she's not very good at it. We also have a weird side lot where a Japanese girl kidnaps the girl who falls in love with Ryang. She threatens to hurt this girl because Ryang is hers? I honestly can't remember if she was in the last book or not?

Not bad, made me laugh a few times but not amazing.

This anime is a little too silly. I never thought I would see the day. Not for me, but it was pleasant enough. =)

Faerie girl Fanta is trying to save human boy Ryang from his curse, which has doomed him to 108 failed relationships, in one of those over-ambitious plotpoints that is hoping that this series will go really, really long. While Fanta watches out for the "evil affinities" that Ryang is destined to attract, her faerie rival Medea is plotting her way back to the throne of Avalon where she has plans of becoming queen.

This had a lot going on, including lots of dialogue and jokes in tiny font, and it had trouble holding my attention. Possibly my bad for starting at Volume 3, but in spite of a decent summary to start things off, I quickly found myself pretty lost. I also had a hard time getting too hooked into the drama around Ryang's cursed lovelife. Medea's intrigues and ambitions for the throne of Avalon were a bit more interesting, but are clearly a secondary plotline. The art was lovely in places, especially when Fanta and Medea were featured. I do have a couple more volumes of this on the tbr shelf, so maybe some familiarity with the characters will help, but this felt more difficult to get into than it needed to be.

An okay manga series, it was amusing at parts but too long and un-ending for me. I never finished the series.

The story goes on and introduces a new evil character. I forget how much I loved this books and how much they make me laugh.
