Product Description
When Tae Yeon Im finds out that the idol star that she's adored for ages is currently attending the same school as her identical cousin Jung-Woo Im, she convinces her kin to exploit their similitude and switch places, she will dress as him, attend his school and try to get close to her lover boy; he will dress as her, attend her school and revel in the sea of babes it holds. The plan seems flawless until Teyon learns of a bully named Gahun Kim who she learns likes to beat up on Junghu, and Junghu finds that wearing a dress is not nearly as fun as it seems.

 What Happened?!?! December 14, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Before I give anything a review I read at least 4 volumes in the series and I can honestly say that this is the first time my opinion has completely changed for the worse after reading the other volumes. In all fairness, I will say that volume 1 was great, I loved it, and I truly believe it should have been a stand alone story. Sure, the plot has been used before, girl goes to an all guys school, pretends to be a guy to be close to the one she loves, chaos ensues. . . Anyone who reads shoujo knows this plot. But here's the thing: this plot is only in the first volume. After that both Jung-Woo and Tae Yeon go back to their own schools and a whole new plot comes into play: lots of gang wars, new characters and a strange and slightly confusing storyline. Maybe it was confusing because it started out as one thing and ended up something completely different. Had I only read vol. 1, this series would have had a much higher grade.
The Verdict:
If you want a good `girl goes to an all-guy's school' manga read Hana-Kimi, if you like to have the plot switch on you after volume 1, this series is for you. C

When I picked up this book in my library while searching through the racks, it didn't seem to hold much promise. The plot seemed like pure fluff and the cliches overused. Generally, I go for something more thought provoking. But...oh boy, was I wrong.
The fantastic art style and quick plot immediately sucked me in. I finished three volumes just sitting in the chair in the library, desperately turning the next page. I actually jumped when somebody came up the stairs, I was so engrossed. I was devestated when they didn't have Volume 4 and no other libraries in my area do...
But enough about me (was that about me?). I highly recommend this to anybody, even if it doesn't seem like their type. I'm normally a shonen person. I'll have to go out and buy the next few volumes....But take my word for it, it would be a worthwhile buy.

i first discovered this book on Amazon and thought it looked kind of interesting, but didn't really want to buy it. when i came across it at a bookstore, i took a second look and figured it might be ok, even though the plot seemed predictable and overused. when i first started reading it, i was still a little skeptcle, but after the first 10 pages or so, i was sucked into the story. i have read many many manga books and several with the same type of plot, but this book is unique. i found myself laughing out loud at several scenes and situations involving Tae and Ga-Woon.The artwork is not extremely beautiful but fits the story well. Overall it is one of the better manga books i have read, and i have read a LOT.

When I first read the cover I thought it would be interesting. But it totally blew my ideas away. The main plot idea is a little over used. But what happens once Teas gets to her cousins school is way funny. Not only does she get beaten by the school bully. He then asks her to join his gang. But Kun is catching on to the fact that Jung-woo just might be a girl. Now some of the boys are doubting their sexuality. As Teas makes her cousin more popular than he would like. While Jung-woo makes all the girls not talk to her any more. The first volume centers around Tea and her pretending to be her cousin. But there also great character developments with the bully and the model. The story is totally sweet and has really nice illustartions. The second book centers around Jung-woo and the after math of his cousin. So it seems that the main characters piviot each volume. Making it even more interesting. If you like humor, romance, and a few good old fashion beatings now and then be sure to read Kill Me Kiss Me. It is sure to entertain many
