From the creator of hit manhwa Not So Bad comes Roureville, a mysterious fantasy drama with a shonen-ai undertone.
Roureville is a brand new manhwa being serialized online in Korea and USA simultaneously.
Evan Pryce is a celebrated New York Times reporter, and true to his prominent journalistic lineage, he has just published an exclusive scoop that is brilliant enough to be considered for the Pulitzer Prize. Unfortunately, this also makes him easy prey to the many enemies he has made throughout his career. Instead of going in hiding, however, Evan decides to hole up at his press office - not the safest place for a man in Evan's situation. Unwilling to have his star reporter remain so vulnerable to attack, the Editor-in-Chief orders Evan to cover an out-of-state story: "real" ghost sightings in a secluded village in the countryside—an article too absurd to be handled by the New York Times. For lack of a better thing to do, Evan decides to follow his editor's orders and drives across the Midwestern desert searching for a town nobody seems to have heard of. After ten days of driving by sleepy rural villages with zero results, our lost and exhausted New Yorker is just about ready to give up. But then suddenly, a road sign pointing to "Roureville" catches his eye, and he heaves a sigh of relief. Little does he know that the end of his long road trip is just the beginning of an incredible tale.

Roureville combines beautiful art with an eerie story line very unlike most series out there. Hae keeps you just enough in the dark with a lot of the story line that you just have to keep reading!
I really like this author and series, but why so long between updates? There were only a few chapters left to go and Amazon.com had 10-01-08 as the release date for volume 3. NetComics, what is going on?
except for that bit when Eric and Cleo were in the story. They didn't add anything (except for finding out about Jude) and I was really annoyed until they finally departed. Please don't bring them back.
The art took a lot of getting used to (I still can't see any of the characters as good looking) but the story is plenty entertaining and unique enough to make up for that. I think I'll be sad to see this story end.
