100% Perfect Girl Volume 1 (100 PERCENT PERFECT GIRL)

The art of Wann is rich and vivid, full of life and personality. The storyline is described as a modern Cinderella story -- the main character is unable to pursue her artistic dreams, and she befriends the handsome prince who can make her dreams come true.The translation into English is awkward every now and then, enough for me to give it 4 instead of 5 stars. The art is always fantastic, and the characters are very human; though Jaye's family isn't developed much beyond stereotypes, Jaye and J. are both complex characters, and I'm eager to see how things turn out with them.I would recommend this to manga and romance enthusiasts, and I'll be buying the rest in the hope that they live up to the promise of this first.

I am a huge fan of this manga/manhwa! I love it and love it and it have re-read it so many times that I finally made a decision to invest in a hard copy. It’s so much more pleasant to read a hard copy. I love it. Very much.

I used to read this series when I was 15 and decided to pick it back up about five years later. Still the cute, sappy romance I remember. Easy read, and good for beginner manga readers.Book came in perfect condition and is good quality.

I'm new to this author's work and I found her artwork to be very beautiful. I love the close ups on the characters in volume one.**Warning: May contain spoilers (though I tried hard not to put them)**100% Perfect Girl is a modern day Cinderella story. Jay is a girl about to go to high school who loves art, yet her mother only cares about Jay's brother, a medical school student who wish is her command. Jay is definately stepped on numerous times in this volume by jealous exes, her mother, and brother, but she's not the weak character one might think she is, which was surprisingly refreshing.Prince J., actually King J., is a young man who rules the country Rionne. He, as well as everyone in his country, is incredibly smart. He, however, has never experienced love and his clumsyness is just too cute. He gets carried away once, and Jay lets him have it, which just makes her more attractive to him. He's used to people treating him in a "royal" way, but Jay treats him like any other guy, even after she finds out who he is.If you loved Cinderella as a kid, or if you just like Shojo manga you should check this story out. I guarantee true lovers of romance will be hooked after the first volume, and volume two is due out in June (only a couple weeks away) so you won't have to wait long for it.Happy Reading!

I love Wann's stories. Sure, they're overly dramatic and laden with pathos. But they're also beautiful and well written. "Can't Lose You" and "The Snow Queen" were both good, solid reads. "100% Perfect Girl" is not. It's sad, because the series starts out so well. The first volume is fabulous, and the second is pretty good. The third and fourth volumes are where things begin to slide downhill and don't stop. I stuck with this series because I loved the beginning, and the art was fabulous. My continued faith and support was rewarded with tired plot devices, bad characters, and a badly done ending.The main characters are great at first. Jay is a beautiful and talented Korean teenager who dreams of being an artist. Jarte is a cool, charismatic and incredibly handsome European prince who is terrified of love, but finds himself falling none the less. The two of them are adorable together, and though the beginning of their love affair is a bit bumpy, you feel like it will all turn out just fine. After volume three, everything changes. The two become sad cliches with no substance. Jay becomes a weak and whining victim of every man she meets. Jarte becomes a psychopath bent on owning Jay at any cost. With the exception of one who is later ruined, the other characters are there for pathos and window dressing. It gets old very quickly. They're two-dimensional fluffers there to show the reader just how desirable Jay is. Every man Jay comes into contact with becomes obsessed with her. Every woman is there to comfort the men after Jay rejects them, or to be compared to Jay and found wanting. I wound up having no sympathy for anyone in the series.The series feels like it's been artificially dragged out past its end. Instead of one kidnapping, we have multiple. Instead of one major injury, we have several. Instead of one major misunderstanding ripping the main characters apart, we have dozens. Instead of one crazy man becoming obsessed with Jay, we have 4. Each of these plot devices would have been fine if used once or twice, but used over and over, they get ridiculous and stale. Wann said that she wanted the series to be 11 volumes long, and that's what she made it. The cost to the story was high, but I'm sure the sale of 11 books made it worth it to her.The absolute worst part is the ending. It's not that its a sad ending, it's just poorly done. The story completely falls flat. Many of the pages in the last chapter are blank. What's shown is nothing we didn't already know. It's tired, and stale. The little side stories are boring and they don't make up for the horrible ending of the main story. It's a bad ending to a bad series.Unless you like empty harem shoujo with ridiculously over-used plot devices, skip this one. The only positive to this series is the art.

This graphic novel went along mostly as a cheesy romance story. Not great, but meh. A prince falls in love at first sight with a girl while he's on a trip. Had a couple of funny moments. However, near the end, he basically rapes her (or at least that's the impression I got...either that or she consented and changed her mind when the sex act was done). Either way, this is not cool at all, especially since there is no doubt whatsoever that this volume is the beginning (of a series spanning at least eleven volumes) of what I am supposed to see as their epic romance. Starting out like this, there is no way I can ever see a romance between these two as anything other than horrifically terrible. This sends a terrible message to readers (which will frequently be teens) about what love is and what it is okay to do in the name of love.

Wann's drawings are stunning, and she weaves a terrifically fun and complicated plot dealing with relationship drama, the inherent issues present between a well-to-do man (a King, really) who sweeps the artsy, small-town girl off her feet, political turmoil, and lots more! Our heroine is certainly 100% beautiful, as are all the men and women in this story, which makes this a title that's pleasing to the heart and to the eye. I'm up through the latest volume, and it just keeps getting better and better! I'm so happy I found this shojo :-)

I'm new to this author's work and I found her artwork to be very beautiful. I love the close ups on the characters faces in volume one, aswell as the way the characters have been drawn and they suit their personality aswell.Jay is a girl who loves art, yet her mother only cares about Jay's brother, a medical school student who wish is her command. Jay is definately stepped on numerous times in this volume by jealous exes, her mother, and brother, but she's not the weak character one might think she is, which was surprisingly refreshing.Jarte (Prince J) is a young man who rules the country Rionne. He, as well as everyone in his country, is incredibly smart. He, however, has never experienced love and he dosn't believe in 'love at first sight' until he meets Jay that is which he instantly becomes head over heels in love with her. It's alot different compared to the cinderella story that alot of people are comparing it too, they are tried and tested to the max (and by that I mean their are a few casulaty's along the way) read it you will not be disapointed!!!! Also I would highly recommend 'can't loose you' which is another fantastic manga series by the same author of '100% perfect girl'.

AMAZING SERIES PLEASE MAKE REST OF THE SERIES AVAILABLE!

I like the storie. This is so exciting
