Mingo is a 26-year-old cartoonist with a fiery temper, who breaks up with her easygoing musician boyfriend Jerry. They decide to stay friends, even though they still have feelings for each other. Along for the ride are Mingo's younger sister Sam who has never dated, and Mingo's romantic idealist co-worker Jinjin. X Diary is a slice-of-life portrayal of two lovers who take a step back from love, and begin to look at each other once again and learn. A sagacious and sarcastic journey that will get your head nodding and face smiling.
MINGO
A 26-year-old cartoonist.
A loaf-around, lazy chick. Somewhat of a hothead, she recently
broke up with Jerry and decided to stay cool as friends.
Why isn't that jerk more upset?
JERRY
A 26-year-old bassist in a modern
rock band.
He's earned Sam's hatred by converting from punk to modern rock.
A man of few words but warm-hearted. He's confused over his
recent breakup with his girlfriend.
So we're really broken up?
SAM
A 25-year-old vocalist in a punk band.
Mingo's younger sister who treats her older sister like a joke.
She has never, ever dated because she's way picky and her standards
are too high.
I, too, once had a pure heart.
JINJIN
A 24-year-old co-worker of Mingo.
Devoted and earnest in every undertaking, he is a pure and naive
romantic who believes that love will always triumph, and you
should never give up.
But could love be that simple?

Anyone who's been through a breakup should read this. The way Mingo deals with her broken heart is just so cute and adorable. Toma is such a unique manhwa-ga. I wish there were more artists like her.
Aw, so this is the end? X Diary was a surprisingly pleasant read! Like a bundle of cuteness, sweetness and touching all rolled into one. I am going to seriously miss reading about Mingo and friends. :(
It's been awhile since we've seen any X Diary! I'm so glad we get more! I love opening it up at work in my little cubicle and chuckling! Everyone should give it a shot as it so often hits how relationships work right on the nose. Enjoy!
