review:
'Star Project Chiro, Volume 1' by HyeKyung Baek is my second experience with manhwa, which are basically Korean style manga. After two of these, I think I need to try another one before deciding these aren't for me.

Eun-Yo Song is a beautiful high school girl who models her family line of children's clothing. Everyday her brothers decide what she will wear to school and by the reactions she gets from the boys, either the clothes are a hit or Eun-Yo is beautiful enough to overcome her style of dress. She meets a boy she likes named Chankyung Woo, then she meets a pop singer named Nan Lee. Eun-Yo wants to become a star and Nan has a weird kind of obsessive love/hate relationship with Eun-Yo. This is volume 1, so the story doesn't conclude here.

So the story elements are just odd to me. We have a beautiful girl modelling children's clothing and the boys are crazy about her. That seemed weird to me. Then we have plot elements that are supposed to be humorous like an accident that causes two teeth to fall out and a house fire that destroys a lot of money and scorches hair. The Nan character just comes across as mean and creepy and maybe that's the point. I just found it not to my liking.

I received a review copy of this manhwa from Diamond Book Distributors, NETCOMICS, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manhwa.
