First off, this is my first review and since I adored this manga, I just had to review. Lately, I've been wandering the shoujo category and incidentally managing to find a lot of yakuza type plot manga. However, Hot Blooded Woman’s simple plotline, multiple twists and the weird, wacky and certifiably insane characters with just a touch of supernatural had me cracking with laughter from the first page onwards.

I get that this is a Korean manga, so the characters names were not really a surprise, just don’t ask me to remember ANY names… The fight scenes need a bit of clarification (be either guesswork or dialogue). There a few times that the manga timeline just jump around without much warning.

What I really liked about this manga was it characters. In the beginning the characters came off as typical but as you get deeper into the story, the depth shown for most of them was a bit scary. Especially for Ha Ji and Sin Uoo. For one, I was really prepared to hate Aram, who came off as a typical and weak female character. However you had to sympathize with her feeling at the end. Actually, I sympathized with all of them. It was nice to see stereotypical characters molded, then break out with the weirdest quirks and somewhat grow on you. After all, everyone is unique and handles situations in their unique way. What makes someone mentally strong enough to get up and keep going when knocked down, where another would falter and give up? To say the least, I was really fascinated by the individual actions of each character and the consequence that followed.

The ending was… totally hilarious. For me, it wasn’t as satisfying. Realistically, I could have guess at least half of the ending. -_____-; I totally encourage people to read this manga if only for the laughs. ^______^
