100% Perfect Girl

100% Perfect Girl is like watching an elaborate over-the-top soap drama- but regardless of how cheesy and clichéd things might be, one can’t help but carry on wanting to know what happens next regardless of how unrealistic the situations they’re in actually are.

The story in the first few volumes starts of as a Cinderella story; where Jarte a European prince falls in love-at-first-sight with the ordinary Korean girl Jay. As the volumes progress and things develop though, one should expect an “anything could happen” approach to this fast-paced manhwa as literally many odd things happen adding to the enjoyment and also taking you through a tornado of emotions all with “love” as justification of means of course!

The characters are based around a reverse harem story- so one should expect the usual suspects and a range of personas.

Overall a very enjoyable manhwa indeed :)

I don't give 10 outta 10s very easily to just any manga.. this is definitely recommended! 100% perfect girl is one of the few mangas that will take you on a roller coaster of feelings ( i cried a lot ), and it's especially liked by shoujo readers because it's about a bunch of guys falling in love with 1 girl :)

Story
Amazing! The beginning isn't exactly eye candy but when jarte meets jay .. it gets interesting. i won't spoil the manga by summarizing it .. the story keeps you on the egde of your seat.. especially the latest chapters ( series not yet complete )

Art
Beautiful!!!

Character
They didn't really explain much about characters .. it's basically focused on jarte and jay.

Enjoyment
OMG I LOVED IT! lol that's how much i enjoyed it.. it made my skip a beat! It made me cry so much that my eyes would be swollen the next morning.. :(

Overall
This is definitely recommended once again.. if you read this and you like it then i definitely suggest that you read Wann's other work - Can't lose you - ( series completed )
It's awesome!! Well this is my first review.. :p hope i did a good job. <3

100% Perfect Girl is something I sort of just stumbled upon. I didn't read about it beforehand, or know anyone else who'd read it. I barely even read the synopsis... I simply plunged myself into it, because I like to be surprised. Well, I was definitely surprised. The first chapter or two into this manga, I figured it was a sweet little love story. As it turns out, "sweet" and "little" have nearly no relevance here. It is much more BIG AND MESSY. Halfway into the story, I found myself thinking... "How are they EVER going to repair this horrendously dysfunctional, broken relationship?"

While the story itself has a lot of overly dramatic and downright unrealistic occurrences, I have to give credit to the writers in that the actual emotional responses of the characters seemed very realistic and plausible to me. This means that their reactions are not always pleasant ones, and very much contributes to the overall story. Never did I find myself asking, "Why are these people so stupid?", because their poor decisions always seemed real in some way... except for maybe the fact that all these handsome men were inexplicably drawn to the same somewhat average woman. But hey, this is a manga, what can you expect, right?

Maybe it's because I'm an adult with a family of my own, but I really appreciated the emphasis put on how easy it is to hurt the ones you love, and things don't always go the way you think they will. I would not suggest this manga for a younger audience, because it does discuss darker psychological themes, such as rape and murder. It is not overly graphic in this regard, but they are not a part of the story you can easily overlook, either.

With all that said... I have to be honest and say that, even though I have a lot of respect for character portrayal and deeply appreciated the "real reactions" factor, I didn't 100% (pun intended) enjoy this manga. Why? Simply put, it is not terribly fun. Honest? Maybe more so than most. I would definitely recommend it to a more mature audience if you want to read a good, messy drama. However, while it has a lot of romance in it, it is NOT a sweet little love story.

First the art is pretty cool & gives you very unusual feeling. this manga is not your typical type of love story manga but rather really layout styled. the story is set in korean culture , the art is very detailed.

the webtoon version of it just come out & its very refreshing i bet. the character development is pretty good.

The mafias, gangsters, royalty with latest trend is really new & cool thing , you can imagine what power as equal to lord of country can do.

overall its pretty amazing & is wroth of your time. the side characters have their own unique features that you can look forward.

"I don't want love anymore."

100% Perfect Girl started like a fairy tale but along the way it shifted. Left me wondering how could love sometimes mess us up so to the point where we don't even recognize ourselves…

You have your average fairy tale story of a regular girl, Jay, who is living her normal life. While running an errand one day she meets Jarten. He is captivated by her. He had never seen anyone so beautiful and he has to know her, to have her. Jarten looks like royalty and it’s later revealed to her that he indeed is a Prince. After spending time with him and getting to know him he has to fly back to his country. Not before he proposes to her and asks her to go with him. Love knows no boundaries they say, Jarten and Jay will put that theory to a test.

Was it perfect? No. Like a lot of manga, the heroine was coveted by most of the guys, almost all. She was nice to boot and changed people’s lives, sometimes for the better and sometimes she was a calamity that befell on them. To say it with the words of someone in the manga, “She was like a cancer..” There was so much drama that it makes the story far-fetched but still leaves you wondering, what next?
You have your assassination attempts, bodyguards, weapons dealers, pro shooters/snipes, mafia, and the high class parties. Need I go on?
The plot sometimes got repetitive in a way but it's a common thing I have seen with long manhwa.

It started like a regular fairy tale of Prince falls in love with a regular girl who feels trapped in her life. He loves her, needs her? She saves him with a promise to be by his side. Unfortunately, the other side is not greener in this case it’s just bigger and with it brings seclusion.
Havoc was at every corner for them, one after the other, you witness the relationship change. All that mattered is that she was by his side. At first it surprised me the gloomy turn the manga went. But it made me like it even more. Because not all love is great and it does have it’s darkness.

I want to say that this is a romance but that’s not exactly true. Love meets that thin line that borders on obsession and restraining order.
Was there love? Yes, but it sometimes it was masked to look like obsession. The love became selfish, started changing them all while it makes the one you love self destruct by your mere presence in their life. that’s how you know. That’s what happened to them.

It showed love at its worst, destructive.

You’ll meet characters you’ll like and one’s you’ll hate to your core. Others you’ll love to hate or hate to love.
There’s villains up the wazoo, but then again it is to be expected when the hero of the story is a rich Prince who seems to have it all.

Jay is kind and doesn’t know the meaning of evil. At least not at the beginning. The characters whose change takes the longest is hers, in way. Because as a person you tend to have to hit rock bottom before you can really start to pick yourself back up and that’s what happened to her. I find that I really did like her character and you start to see her become who she wanted and not who everyone thought she should be.

Jarten was the hero but his character made me feel like I was in a malfunctioning elevator. Sometimes I liked him and sometimes I wanted to throw crap at him. He was actually pretty flawed, borderline psychotic at times. He’s the type that loves someone so much that would rather see them dead than with someone else.

You have your best friends whose role you sometimes enjoy more than the actual protagonist. The devoted bodyguard who’s story helps in creating and developing a great love for a character, Making him one of your favorites. You have villains that are so ruthless but yet so wounded you can’t help but feel for them in a dark and twisted way.

The art was nice. I had to get used to the way some features were drawn but after it will become the manhwa’s style and you start to enjoy it. There’s a beauty to the characters that give them a surreal look. Also, got to give Wann props for making the guy characters look great without their shirt on. They all look the same a little bit but still, a girl can appreciate.

The writing is amazing and the use of imageries and metaphors was great.
The ending, be a judge for yourself, it wasn’t my favorite the first time around. The second time I gotta say I kindda digged it. I still think it should have ended differently but hey to each their own.
Life, death, lies, obsession, coveting, selfishness, betrayal. This one has it all and it shows you, even being a princess is nor all it’s cracked up to be.

Well, I've never written a review here so there I don't expect it to be quite helpful. But this manhwa had me aggravated. That's the closest I can describe this feeling. I considered dropping it twice within the less than 24 hours it took me to read. The only reason I stayed was for the art which was magnificent. Then there was also the need for closure. To see how this author would try to chummy everything up after so many horrifying events taking place.

This has always been one of my top favorite manga. Let me say that in the beginning it's a bit boring here and there because of the falling in love quick but it got better and better as you keep reading it. Somewhat the main character girl piss me off so much but at some point I don't completely hate her because it's not her fault and for the main guy, he's just darn gorgeous. I don't know why they didn't make this into a korean drama, like wth? It use to be one of the top manga in mangafox LOL. Well I like this manga because I could feel the chemistry between the two characters and I am just so teared up when something happens between the two of them. I dislike how the writer just made the girl a bit too weak that...I just don't like it. But overall I love everything. The storylines, and the events that occur in the manga is..so well done. I wouldn't mind re-reading this manga when I have the time.

The story opens up with the main romantic interest reading a short story written by Haruki Murakami called “On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning”. The short story is about a young man who walks past a girl who attracts his attention despite being plain, but he ends up not having the courage to speak with her. This reference to the short story is honestly marks the beginning of a long line of willing suspense of disbelief as the writer of the manhwa wants the reader to believe that Jay is a plain girl who does not stand out at all, and the male characters whine about it constantly to the point it becomes annoying. Sound familiar?

Think Twilight... minus the fantasy and supernatural elements of course.

Jay is a plain looking girl... that is, compared to his highness’s little sister. Compared to every other female in the series she is actually gorgeous and breath taking. She is far from what I would describe as being a plain girl, particularly when she ends up having two other guys falling for her. A good portion of the plot involves conflict between the three men in her life. I might as well add that the conflict... or fighting really pushes and the suspense of disbelief, but there are other things. The conflict just doesn't seem real at all.

Where the plot doesn't involve conflict the plot ends up being about how the men in her life take advantage of her, but also do things like keep her safe from the other guys. Yup... there is another comparison to Twilight there... the fact we have love triangles... in this case a love quadruple... and we also have males who are over protective to the point of being abusive... and this time it is three guys instead of the two. We also have a female who can't take care of herself and constantly is whining about how she can't take care of herself.

To be honest though the problems don't end there.

At the beginning of the story we have the main character all weepy because her parents don't want her to pursue art school. That I can understand despite the over dramatization. What I can't understand though is how her school takes away her chance to participate in a big art competition because the other student was rich and going to an actual art school. This is despite the fact the Jay is their top student when it comes to art and she would better represent the school.

Another time the belief is pushed by a system that is able to identify people by their earlobes at one-hundred percent accuracy. For most people the one-hundred percent accuracy would cause some speculation because no system is completely accurate, but instead it doesn't raise any speculation. One of the downsides to identifying people by earlobes rather then fingertips comes from the fact you can reshape the ear and there is also the fact that while we now know that the accuracy rates for ear identification are high, this particular story was written before we really knew how accurate it was.

There is also the fact there comes a point in time when Jay has to give up her painting because of post traumatic syndrome, which causes her hand to shake to much and makes it so that she can no longer do the fine detail she became known for. Can I add here that she is a genius at art too? But back onto the PTSD. PTSD does not cause the loss of fine motor skills. While it is true that she may not have had interest in making art anymore, the fact remains she wanted to continue making art work AND it would have been a great way for dealing with the actual PTSD.

In the long run 100% Perfect Girl is blatant wish fulfillment, and likely not one of the healthy kinds. Despite the beautiful art work the actual story telling is poor due to exaggeration that were not needed as well as inaccurate details. The thing that honestly bothered me the most though was the fact the creator of this particular manhwa tried to piggy back their work on another writers work, a piece that despite it's short length is a far better read then this particular piece.

Okay, i dont write many reviews but i just really can't help but write a review for this manga. I'm not going to talk about it piece by piece cause that would take too long, but here i go.

I really enjoyed this manga. Its very original and it got me hooked from the moment i started reading it to the very end. My favorite part was that during all the serious parts, they made it funny by adding those pictures. I'm not sure exactly how to say it but they made the character faces all bubbly and so on (you'll see what I'm taking about if you read it.) I love that because it allowed me to easily relate to life like for example in chapter 80, page 4. Its filled with serious drama and romance with action and a little comedy. I think that it would be great for everyone.

I pretty much loved everything except that the male lead was a jerk here and there and that he didn't understand her very well. He even doubted her and didn't believe that she actually loved him until the last few chapters which made him look like a total dumb-ass. Other than that, i thought that it was amazing and that it's not a waste of time reading.

I enjoyed this manga so much that i almost finished it in one whole day and practically stayed up the whole night until i collapsed and fell asleep. Well, thats basically what i wanted to say. I hoped that this review helped some-what (:

Alright, where do I start? Seeing as this is my first review, I'll do the best I can.

STORY -- 8
It starts off as one of those cute little cheesy stories where the rich and handsome prince falls head-over-heels for the poor, average female lead. You know, those stories that give you a warm fuzzy feeling where you feel like "Oh, why can't my life be like that?" Ohohoho, now after that is where things get a little crazy. One heart-breaking event after another, leaving you partially depressed, but somehow, it mends your heart in just a few chapters at the end. Wann also makes it so that everything falls into place, and everything makes sense. Especially misunderstandings. But Wann makes it so EVERYTHING makes sense, pulling you deeper into the story.

ART -- 9
The art was amazing in my opinion. I personally think manhwa art is really nice, but this one is just the cream of the crop. Wann laces the whole story with intricate details, and the characters look flawless.

CHARACTER -- 10
Okay, I personally think this is one of the strongest parts of this story. You get the see how the two main leads of the manhwa gradually develop into what they are at the end. As not to give out any spoilers, it's magnificent to see how the two leads can start off as a innocent first love and develop into a relationship full of heartbreak, loss of trust, and shattered pieces of love that are pieced back together piece by piece.

ENJOYMENT -- 10
This manhwa made me so psychologically unstable throughout the whole thing. I found myself feeling happy, sad, angry, and dumb-founded all at the same time for multiple times throughout the story. It just has so many highs and lows, it's like an emotionally roller-coaster. Nonetheless, at the end, it gives you a feeling you can't forget.

OVERALL -- 10
This is definitely on my list of favorites, for many reasons obviously. I absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a story worth your while.
