At first glance Moolchi is just another shy, unassuming boy whose greatest talents are running away from bullies and binging on vitamin supplements. Then one day, seemingly out of the blue, Moolchi's absentee father sends him a most unusual gift--a stunningly-proportioned 'girl' who may or may not be made of flesh and blood. She calls herself 'Six' and mumbles incoherently about having a 'prime directive.' This strange and exquisite creature quickly turns the boy's life upside-down, violently disposing of junior-high hooligans and anybody else who gets in his or her way, all while wearing a getup that would make Barbarella blush. In the midst of these baffling occurrences, Moolchi just can't seem to stop worrying about his German homework. The word 'oblivious' barely does him justice as Moolchi remains blissfully unaware of his father's dangerous double-life, or the cute hall monitor who harbors a crush on him, or the intentions of this mysterious femme fatale who insists on bathing with him. Meanwhile, ominous storm clouds gather on the horizon, and one lingering question looms above the others...who is this so-called 'Zero' that everybody is looking for?
Vol. 1
This is a science fiction tale which for most young boys would be
a dream come true. In fact it was in the movie and tv show, WEIRD
SCIENCE. What if you were a nerdy high school boy (or maybe you
are!) and received a sexy female android from your absentee
father. At first she does not move but when she awakens he
discovers her name is Six and she is there to protect him, he is
the reason she exists. Now the most excitement he normally gets
is running away from bullies, not always successfully. So you can
imagine he might not be keen on drawing attention to himself with
a taller female, not really dressed for attending high school.
Sure enough she is true to her word when the bullies show up she
takes them out easily. The scene at the school is more
embarrassing.
So what is behind the mystery girl? A scene at the end of this
chapter shed some light on it all. The title does too. You see
the boy, Moolchi, is the Zero in it. He also takes some pills and
is starting to act very strange. There is some intrigue going on
and it will get more violent as it goes. There is another, a
female classmate with a crush on Moolchi. She shows up
unannounced and see him collapse, only to be taken away by Six.
She has problems of her own at home.
The set up promises to move things at a fast pace. There is a bit
of humor that lightens up the mood here and there. The art is
decent in craftsmanship and structure. Not a bad start to
a promising story.

Vol. 4
Moolchi is aging rapidly. The power he exerts has that effect every time he uses
it. Now his friend Kanghee is dead and he is in hiding, experiencing flashbacks
from his years as a toddler. Meanwhile his father has returned to Korea to seek
him out and the guardian of Moolchi has waited for the next thing to do, like a
statue. We learn much more about Moolchi (Zero) and Jong-E (Six) and the family
of non-humans they represent. The "family" of his youth and the institution they
lived in made for some sad memories.
In a pivotal moment Moolchi lashes out a street thugs and eventually is pushed
in front of a moving train. Miraculously he survives and his experiences in the
city lead him on the path he must follow. All the while the others of his kind
are seeking him out leading to a showdown near the end of he book.
This is a tense thriller that just got a lot deeper into the motivations of the
main characters. The quest to create perfect humans was bound to created flaws
and indeed the flaws in some of these characters are devastating. There is
violence but it is not gratuitous. It is all well scripted with a sense of
impending doom around the corner. This one was worth reading from the first
chapter and gets better with every volume.

DAMN IT THA ART WAS TERRIBLE I SAY WHO COULD LOOK AT SUCH CRAPPY SHIT U KNOW BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE MY FRIEND LIKES THE GIRL IN THIS STORY HE THINKS ITS HOT
This short series starts out like any other adolescent boy manhwa with lots of ridiculous situations with girls (like a super-hot one appearing before them as his "slave"). Not too exciting. But after the first volume it turns into an action-packed and glorious story of having loved and having it ripped away. Themes of growth, guilt, anguish, loneliness, revenge, and love are carefully woven into the story that makes this manhwa remind me of classics such as Akira and Monster.
im sort of dissapointed in this the artwork isnt as good as i expected and just when you start to enjoy a character they die. overall not bad but nothing to rave about
