Park, Judith. YSquare Plus. 2008 (December). 192p. Yen Press, $10.99. (978-0-7595-2927-4). Gr. 9-12.
Yagate tries to get his friend Yoshitaka help him catch the man of his dreams, but his friend Chana has her eye on the same guy, handsome college student Ra-Myun. The story shows the value of friendship, and the love triangles among several of the characters are angst-driven but humorous. The action moves quickly, and the illustrations are clean and contemporary with exaggerated faces and eyes in the tradition of manhwa (the Korean version of manga). Written and drawn by Korean-born Park, the sequel to the manhwa Y Square is translated from German. -Nel Ward
