Love As A Foreign Language #2

by J. Torres, Eric Kim

All of a sudden Korea is looking a lot better to Joel. Actually, that's a lie. Korea is still looking like a rotten, smelly place with weird people and weirder food. Hannah, the new receptionist at the school Joel teaches at, on the other hand, is looking mighty fine. But will the girl of Joel's dreams ever actually make it into his days or did he extend his stay in Asia for nothing?

Reviews

Cute and quick story with charming art.

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun look at Korean life and customs. We meet Joel who is teaching English and feeling homesick. This series is a great look at how it feels to live in asia; how you love and hate it at times. Joel finds something new to love about living in Korea when he meets a new girl. The art is good and the story is entertaining and compelling.

Nothing exceptionally new happened in volume two. Hana joined the staff of Joel's English language school. And that's about it.
