I bought it immediately. I absolutely love Pig Bride (and as someone who does not normally read Korean manwha). I found it to be a wonderful read. I enjoyed the complicated relationship between the Bride and Si-Joon. As for the issue with female characters, I found them to be very realistic depictions: honestly, who doesn't know a "mean girl" in their school like Doe-Doe who plays nice in public? I can't wait to get the rest of the series, thank you, Yen Plus! I discovered Pig Bride through Yen Press, and I was absolutely delighted when I found the first volume in my local book store.

Yen press has a few good series (Higurashi, arugably Zombie Loan although thats a bit of a love it or hate it thing) But when they got so much shoujo and manwha it's hardly suprising some yen-press stuff ends up on worst of lists.

Never cared for the series. But Nabari No Ou? On anyone's worst lists? BLASPHEMY. Pig Bride… Never cared for the series. But Nabari No Ou? On anyone’s worst lists?

You got Zombie-Loan, Nabari No Ou, Sundome, Alice on Deadlines, Suzunari and tons of others. Just because one person said "This sucks", doesn't mean you need to get up in arms about it. Looking through other lists, Pig Bride got on top tens. While you may, or may not, say a good point. The issue is that you really felt the need to say how much this one series is so good. While I don't mind that, the thing is that you have posted this rant on an official publishing website. I mean how am I going to take you seriously now after hearing this? Or maybe because it is such a big website, you felt you need to cover your company? What else am I meant to think with quotes of several reviewing sites? Ahh ... I'm sounding too harsh. While I like the fact that you stood up for yourself, maybe it wasn't very appropriate that you posted it on here. That is all. (By the way... I, too, dislike Pig Bride. And while your rant may be justified, I still do not like it.)

That is the one advantage of publications like YEN with the several stories in one vol there is a chance you will like 1 or 2 stories to justify the purchase. When I look at a review site I look for something I LOVE and see how they reviewed it so see if we are of the same mind.
