Dokebi Bride



2 weeks ago, my sister shoved vol 1 and vol 2 of Dokebi Bride into my hands, said "READ!" and stormed away.
1 week ago, my sister asked me if I read them. I said "not yet". She proceeded to scold me while praising/lecturing, with a commanding voice, the "amazing-ness" of the graphic novel (her creepy lopsided ponytail was nodding in agreement)
2 days ago my sister called me to ask me what I thought. Uuhh. Didn't read 'em yet. More lecturing.

So I now I am reading volume one. And. It. Is. Amazing. Ness. A must read for any graphic novel fan. wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated

summary from netcomics.com (you know, I hate summarizing)

"Born into a shaman family, Sunbi has inherited the power to see and communicate with spirits just like her grandmother, a notable shaman and savior of their little fishing village in the South Sea. Early on, she sees things like an imposter shaman being thrashed by a dragon of the deep, and doesn't understand that none of her schoolmates can see such things. Her powers make her the amorous target of hedonistic demons even as a child. Long shielded from the reality of her power, she finally learns the secret of her mother's death, and why her grandmother was never able to leave their village."

Tomorrow, I will be heading off to get 3 through 6. I want to know what happens!
