Sommaire
A young man finds and returns a lost wallet and cell phone to a beautiful young lady, thus begins the destined relationship between two strangers. Sound typical? Well then, how about making the young lady the young man's future homeroom teacher, and give them both a twisted sense of right and wrong. And just for kicks, let's have the young man help himself to a self proclaimed reward from the lost wallet before returning it… but of course, this scenario wouldn't be complete unless the young lady was very unforgiving when it came to teaching one of her students a lesson on morals.

I've read a great deal of mangas and I have to say this has to my favorite of them all. My opinions have changed over time but I feel this one will always stay on top of my list.

This manga achieves outstanding artwork and is a factor the keeps the viewer glued. I started reading this manga at 9pm, and I finished all 9 volumes despite having final exams next week. I'm glad I didn't miss this because even though the plotline is predictable, the development of characters and the artist's ability to draw in the viewer is flawless.

Unlike some other great manga that are super long like Conan, Unbalance x Unbalance has real developments in relative few chapters. So the viewer doesn't feel like he's wasting his life just to find out details in bits and pieces. The romantic relationship between the main character Jin-ho and his homeroom teacher Nah, Hae-young develops steadily; unlike the disgustingly long relations we see in Naruto b/w Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, this manga's pace makes it seem to be in real time.

I'm especially into a kind of romantic mangas/anime, and even though I loved Kimi no Iru Machi, this manga rivals and beats it without a doubt. I'm surprised how undervalued this manga is. Too bad the publications stopped after Chapter 72 of Volume 9. I shouted out loud at the injustice of not having a publisher for this manga. Apparently some party of the development process went bankrupt.

I demand this manga back! It's my favorite and I need it now!

This series is definitely one that gets better as one reads on. It started out rather weak, having nothing to distinguish itself besides barely above average art from the usual rabble of ecchi fanservice manga/manhwa.

Certainly, the first half of this series is ... well, not very good. The writer insisted on using cheap and unrealistic manga/anime gimmicks to bring the two protagonists in embarrassing situations and to bring them closer, it really felt like a half-assed effort that couldn't possibly form a believable plot.
Just when I thought that Unbalancex2 was destined to be nothing more than thinly-veiled ecchi fanservice, it actually started to deviate from that. The plot started to thicken, manga drama gimmicks (at least the really cheap kind) became rarer and rarer, and the characters had reached a point in development where I could really get behind them and understand them.

It took a while, but by the end the series had managed to make me care for both protagonists and to actually root for them to get together (which wasn't the case for majority of my reading). I liked the protagonist, especially how he didn't have trouble seeing through people and the usual drama tricks didn't seem to work on him. He had plenty of faults, but he wasn't a helpless stand-in for the reader that was just getting dragged along wherever the plot needed him to be.

All in all, Unbalancedx2 reaches a point, somewhere midway, where it seems like it's an entirely different work before and after. It also explores a lot of the moral implications of a teacher growing feelings for his/her students. In the end the answer it provides (don't be a teacher anymore) is nothing new and rather simple, but it works well enough and I enjoyed the fact that people were not afraid of calling her out on the sheer insanity of pursuing a relationship with a student.

The art was good, the plot started as little more than fanservice excuses but ended up being solid, an I liked the characters introduced.

An 8/10 from me, if only because it managed to make the last few arcs not suck, something I honestly had not expected.

tl;dr: Hold of judgement on this manhwa until after you've read the first 5 volumes or so.

Let me state this right now: UxU had potential to get a really high rating, a 9, but just no.


Unbalance x Unbalance is school based ecchis romance comedy with some drama. It looks like every other average title with same genres and cliche ideas, but then it hits to your face with the characters, good pace and out of blue moments making it enjoyable to read.

Myung Jin-Ho, our mc, is a lazy fuck, like me, but extremely kind yet a total badass. His life philosophy is superior, it's twisted and fucked up, someone could say unbalanced, yet interesting more than anything. If someone hurts his friends, he goes to berserk and fixes the situation. He doesn't care if that's just a little girl, he kills that bitch and moves on. Gosh, I love that guy. Most of the situation he is in, are intense, emotional and hooking. Could say something similar to Great Teacher Onizuka's appearance. Everyone knows Onizuka is the best character ever, right? The atmosphere makes even hardcore readers sweat.

Hae-Young Nah, isn't meh or nah at all, unlike my jokes, but very interesting female character. Moreover, she has huge breasts. She goes trough some intense and dramatic shitz, showing how many sided character she actually is. Her character development being pretty awesome. What makes UxU unique is the way 2 totally different characters are building relationship. How author manages to connect them life together and show how much they effect to each others.

Unfortunately the awesomeness stops before the manga ends. The point where UxU fails is the last volume. Mangaka started also being lazy fuck like me and the MC guy. Writing goes fully retarded during last chapters, characters start to act out of them character, ending is rushed and forced. The manga is not satisfying with the ending and reader is never rewarded. Higher rating would feel like I'm fooling myself and others.

Unbalance x Unbalance (UxU) is a Harem, Ecchi, Romance manhwa dealing with what will become some interesting love affairs. It's remarkable how this manhwa portrays this sort of forbidden romance, however for a title that had so much potential, I'm not too please with how it all turned out.

Enter Jin-Ho Myung, a seemingly regular guy, coasting through his High School life. That is until a new homeroom teacher, Hae-Young Nah enters the picture. It is by some amusing coincidences that the two have several run-ins with each other and it were these unusual circumstances that sparked an interest between the two. From there the story for this harem is rather exciting in the way that it is not so straight-forward, when compared with most of the childish harems, in the familiar High School setting, as there are plenty of twist. Another thing I appreciate is that it doesn't focus on trying to find as many ludicrous opportunities to show some panties, but rather just dealing the main issues at hand. However as the chapters go on and a lot of the romantic ties remain unsettled, the story tends to drag and actual progress occurs at a snail's pace. Also there were some very questionable moments throughout the duration of its serialization, especially towards the end.

Yet just like with some of Dal Young’s other works, the artwork is pretty much perfect for this kind of manhwa and it is really hard to find any major bad points to it. There are well drawn environments but of course your attention will be on the characters. Sure there are plenty of well-endowed, attractive young ladies, which is what makes this an ecchi romance in the first place; however the guys also look appealing and that’s a rarity within the genre. Though one thing that irked me from time to time is the perpetual blushing. Once you yourself notice it, you'll struggle to un-notice it.

Well like in any romance, the story and artwork mean nothing without the characters to help bring it all to life. UxU does that well, with some very intriguing character personalities that do not follow the usual criteria (well not always). The male protagonist is a welcome change from all the typical "loser-kuns" or the incredibly "nice guys" we find in harems, however it’s easy to have mixed feelings on Jin-Ho because of how he operates. In short, Jin-Ho can be a bit of an a-hole. Then there’s Hae-Young, who is an attractive and nicely portrayed heroine and has plenty more appealing traits. Together they make some interesting chemistry, something that's needed to make any couple or potential couple interesting, which is where I think the title fell short. Not all the girls had interesting chemistry with Jin-Ho, so in the end they felt more like side characters, than the main characters they were meant to be.

Overall UxU is one of my favourite harem titles, which really doesn't feel like a harem title, because it shows a relationship not hindered by typical indecisiveness but by society’s judgement. Yet at times it does feel like the mangaka it constantly trying to impede on any real romantic development, with some indecisiveness on the female-front. Jin-Ho can be a bit of an a-hole and his action's may irk some, but he is still a refreshing change from the norm and it was nice seeing him persevere, in his own way. It's a shame the author couldn't do the same and persevere with the quality of the story, as the story took a turn, in the final volume and degenerated into what cannot be described better than a generic Korean soap opera drama. The ending just felt cobbled together turning UxU into one of those titles that had so much potential, but screwed it up towards the end. So if you enjoy your harems or romances then be sure to check this one out, even if the story ends out of balance.
