Product Description

In an era when rulers controlled the masses with oppression and fear, one young woman would stand against the tyranny and inspire a nation. The Legend of Chun Hyang is one of Korea's most enduring folktales, and now you can read about her adventures as they've never been seen before--as manga! When CLAMP (Chobits and Cardcaptor Sakura) puts their unique spin on the legend, anything can happen. Filled with martial-arts action, romance and adventure, The Legend of Chun Hyang is a gem from Japan's premier creative team.

Customer Reviews

A nice read
The Legend of Chun Hyang is a nice read at only one volume, but may not be exactly what the reader expects. To begin with, this book is by Clamp, so of course the artwook is very beautiful and clean throughout the entire volume. One who enjoys detailed artwork could buy this book and be satisfied just with that. But the story is a little different than advertised. This book does not exactly tell the full legend of chun-hyang. A brief history of the real legend is given in the beginning of the book, but the actual stories don't really tell the story. It's sort of like Clamp's other works, such as Clamp School Detectives. Each chapter tells a little story about the characters' adventures but there isn't really a strong main plot line. For this reason, I gave the book 4 stars. The book has 3 chapters, the first of which seems to begin to tell the legend, but...the other two don't really follow up on it. Other than that problem, the book was really very good. There's adventure and fight scenes, sad situations, and a little bit of romantic comedy. If you're looking for a nice little adventure to enjoy with beautiful artwook, then this book is for you.

hmm
this was not one of my favorite CLAMP mangas, all though I did love the art, it was just the story that I didnt fall in love with. it was pretty good though, not horrible at all.

Really good story, wish they continued it :D
