So this is basically the story of an average guy, Young Ho Han, who is returning to college after his stint in the Korean military. He is excited to get back to school and begin his third year of college. An old friend of his found him a cheap apartment, but when he begins moving in he notices an attractive girl having a conversation with the landlady. Apparently this girl is a first year college student from the country who lost all her money, and can’t pay her rent. The landlady has no sympathy though and kicks her out to the street. Young Ho decides to mind his own business, but after he notices it raining outside he feels guilty and checks to see if the girl is still out there. She is, and has developed a fever from the cold. Young Ho takes her to his room and removes her wet clothing, which makes him think bad thoughts. He chooses to sleep in the hall and let the girl rest and get her health back. That is how Young Ho Han and Yu Mi Yu first develop a “relationship.” She eventually convinces Young Ho to take her in as a roommate, even though she has no money to pay the rent. He assumes he may get sexual favors as a reward, but he quickly finds out she is not as naïve as she can seem. Young Ho’s problems build as he is afraid to let his college friends know that he is living with a girl, and he can’t even receive the sexual benefits from such a deed. The book is both well-written and well-drawn. In many ways the story reminds me of a teen-sex comedy that we see so often in the American movie industry, but there is a major difference; these characters are in their twenties. The art is very spasmodic, shifting from realism to comedic insanity in the blink of an eye. It works well and is beautifully orchestrated. I’ve gotta mention though that there is some minor nudity and sexual situations, including scenes of self-gratification, if you are a bit prudish this may not be the book for you. Couple turned out to be fun story about two young people and the way they interact with one another. The young male mind and libido is accurately portrayed, which makes the story that much funnier. This book leaves off on a cliff-hanger where Yu Mi may be in danger. If you pick this book up be prepared to get hooked, forcing you to purchase the following volumes to get your fix.
