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 tunningly-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?

Narration of Love at 17 Vol.2 / by Kyungok Kang
Seyoung has just landed a minor role in a TV drama, and for someone aspiring to be an actress, this should've been great news. But she can't get over the fact that the job came from Haemi, the star of the show and a rival for the affections of Hyunwoo, the childhood playmate she has come to love. Her emotions are plunged into deeper disarray when she overhears a private conversation between Haemi and Hyunwoo, and learns that Hyunwoo once had feelings for her too, but he has since given up on them because he thought of her as "family". A little depressed and a little broken-hearted, Seyoung turns to her friends for support. Little does she know that one of those friends has been harboring secret feelings for her, and that the other is not what she seems. Can Yunho, the sensitive captain of the drama club, make her forget her childhood love? Has Hyunwoo really given up on his feelings for Seyoung, or are they just hiding beneath the surface? And will Seyoung ever let herself move on?
Narration of Love at 17 vividly recounts the sensitivities of a pubescent girl who is as impressionable as she is reactive-- and who is ever true to the shifting affectability of youth. An insightful recollection of the anxieties of adolescence, the complexities of changing friendships, and the despair of teen angst, this is a must-read for anyone who has ever wanted a glimpse at the heartache called first love.

The Devil's Trill (Manhwa Novella Collection Vol.4) / by Sooyeon Won
Presenting the fourth volume of NETCOMICS Manhwa Novella Collection, an anthology of the most prominent Korean authors and their works in which every page blazes with uniqueness and originality! Volume 4 of this ground-breaking series offers two supernatural takes on love and longing.
THE DEVIL'S TRILL: In 18th-century Germany, Count Eichner Wittgenstein is tall, dark, dreamy... and undead. But being a vampire doesn't stop him from recognizing his one and only love in the beautiful young Elizabeth, who also happens to be married to another man. Tragedy separates the two--or does it? Flash forward some 200 years, to Berlin in the late 1990s, when the Count--now a sleekly modern patron of the arts--comes under the spell of a young woman with something eerily familiar about her. But fate intervenes again, delaying the final reckoning between the Count and his soul mate until well into the 22nd century! A heady mix of supernatural scares and heartfelt longing, THE DEVIL'S TRILL is swooning Gothic romance in the best Anne Rice tradition.
THE MAGIC BOX: Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but there are some things in life are more precious still. And sometimes you need TWO lifetimes to learn this valuable lesson!
