Editorial Reviews

Gr 8 Up

Aspiring comic-book artist Da-Il is starting his training under the supervision of Ho-Go, an experienced creator. Ho-Go's former student Ga-In arrives to help out on the latest issue, but when Da-Il finds himself in an alternate reality that seems to resemble Ga-In's memories, he soon realizes that weird forces are at play. Could the death of Ga-In's friend be the cause of the angry ghost that Da-Il and his coworkers are now forced to battle? Does Da-Il have the power to "draw" and "erase" reality? Unlike most manga/manhwa titles, there is no introduction to the characters or summary of the preceding volume's plot, so readers are forced to guess about the characters' relationships and the story line: slice-of-life interactions between particular characters are followed by drawn-out battles between others without any explanation as to how the two scenarios relate to one another. Although Croquis Pop does have well-done artwork and an intriguing art-based premise, libraries without a strong manhwa audience can skip it.-Dave Inabnitt, Brooklyn Public Library, NY
