Love blossoms over time in this volume of Not So Bad, as Eunhee has the chance to overcome his loneliness as a top movie star sharing his home with Gain and to Eunhee's ire his belongings too.
There are a few teething problems and complications when Gain settles in, but that is expected. Eunhee enjoys his time with him, getting used to being around him sending him mad at times. In between photo shoots and reading scripts he finds time for affection and closeness with Gain. In time they begin to get to know each other even though they are from different social backgrounds. Walking along together one afternoon, Eunhee and Gain talk about matters in the pouring rain. Gain has trouble with his feelings for Eunhee, while Eunhee wants to make a go of their relationship the only way he knows how. Eunhee considers his new acquaintance a naiive person, though he enjoys being around him and all his unusual habits. He thinks he is cute while Gain believes Eunhee could do with a little upheaval in his life. One night Gain decides to talk to Eunhee in his bed, and ends up spending the night with him, and Gain realises how comfortable he feels being around a male who truly seems to care about him, though he refrains from showing it most of the time.
Eunhee is too used to being on his own in bed, and is uncomfortable with sharing even when he has a lover, yet he does enjoy sharing his bed with Gain but will not admit to it. He is soon borrowing shirts and other things as he stays with the superstar who does try to refrain from showing much in the way of emotion. Gain though tries his hardest to bring a smile to his face when he is looking down or too tired from a hard day at the film set from being directed. Gain still does not understand how important Eunhee's life is to him and it is that which partially makes him annoyed at his nonchalant attitude towards his life. Gain being from the street is a strange yet modest lover in his life who has the potential to make it work if Eunhee really wants it to. The artwork is beautiful and filled with exquisite detail. There is a sense of delicate angularity given to the two main characters that create their unique feminine male look, rather than the more larger eyed characters so prevalent in other manga. The style captures the feel of the novel as do the accessories they wear. Gain is more roughly drawn as Eunhee has a more relaxed, and handsome look to him, showing his
The story is well written and paced giving the reader the idea what a movie star's life would be like every day, with the exception of the different life Eunhee has now got
as a result of picking up stray boy Gain. IN SUMMARY:
This volume is full of surprises, focussing on fun and humour surrounding the two lovers as they get to know each other more. Fans of Shonen-Ai manga will relish this delightfully composed piece.
