The first few volumes of Bride of the Water God are really funny and entertaining. Habaek and his friends life among the stars. Habaek may not be a monster looks-wise, but personality-wise the kid's a terror. I first heard about Bride of the Water God on Stella Matutina, and wanted to read it because it's pretty clearly based on the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast: Soah's father sells her to the town as a sacrifice, and she winds up going to a magical castle filled with quirky characters and a mysterious hubby who's not what he appears. A handsome man, no less, who tells Soah his name is Mui and whom Soah really likes. What she doesn't know-even though someone mentions it in every single freaking volume-is that Habaek is cursed to be a boy during the day and turns into a man at night. But when she finally travels to the land of the gods on her wedding day, she discovers that Habaek is a grumpy little boy who doesn't expect her to fulfill her wifely duties. Soah is a young woman whose destiny is to be the bride of water god, Habaek.
