Summary: An intro in Korean shoujo
Comment: This was one of my first forays into Korean shoujo manhwa and I have to say that I'm very happy that I was introduced to it via INVU.
I've had a chance to read up to the 3rd volume, and though I am just as big of a fan of cliffhangers as the next person, each of the three volumes literally had me on the edge of my seat. I'm still waiting on word for the release date for v4.
It's common for most shoujo manga have a very soap-opera feel, and INVU is no different. What I enjoyed about this series isn't necessarily the original storyline, but rather, the way that the creator staggered several storylines of each of the characters, giving the readers small glimpses here and there of each of their lives, all the while keeping the continuity intact. From the sheer number of characters to the segues to the "coincidental" situations the characters find themselves in, I wouldn't be surprised if INVU is incarnated as a live-drama sometime in the future. In the world of INVU, everybody knows each other directly or indirectly through a friend, family member or other such degree.
Would I recommend this title? Yes, most definitely. The characters are all very engaging and you cannot help but be drawn in to their stories and their dreams. The art is pretty, and I'm rather impressed with the fashion choices the artist Kim Kang Won creates for the characters. It's not as edgy as Paradise Kiss, but it's still good.

Summary: Highly Reccommend
Comment: I first picked up the book because I really was taken by the art on the front cover. Reading the back, I still couldn't decide how much I'd like the story, but the guy at the counter said it was really great and reccommended it so I cast my doubts aside.
I've enjoyed book one of this series very much. To me, it leads up a lot to the next books in the series--setting the stage, introducing the characters, their dreams, some mysteries and a few explanations.
Sey is a fairly normal 16 year old girl with a famous author and not very "motherly" mom who decides to up and move one day, having Sey stay with another family--that turns out to be quite a bizarre household with Hali, the daughter, pretending to be a guy named Terri for the mom's benefit. As the story goes along, you get a feel for Sey's closest friends lives as well as those of the family she's staying with. The more I read the series, the more I adore it. I love Sey's character, their situations, a guy who hangs out with the rougher crowd and has quite a... unique family background. There's romance, funny moments, mysteries, and dreams in this story not to mention very nice artwork. I highly reccommend it.
