I've read a great deal of mangas and I have to say this has to my favorite of them all. My opinions have changed over time but I feel this one will always stay on top of my list.

This manga achieves outstanding artwork and is a factor the keeps the viewer glued. I started reading this manga at 9pm, and I finished all 9 volumes despite having final exams next week. I'm glad I didn't miss this because even though the plotline is predictable, the development of characters and the artist's ability to draw in the viewer is flawless.

Unlike some other great manga that are super long like Conan, Unbalance x Unbalance has real developments in relative few chapters. So the viewer doesn't feel like he's wasting his life just to find out details in bits and pieces. The romantic relationship between the main character Jin-ho and his homeroom teacher Nah, Hae-young develops steadily; unlike the disgustingly long relations we see in Naruto b/w Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, this manga's pace makes it seem to be in real time.

I'm especially into a kind of romantic mangas/anime, and even though I loved Kimi no Iru Machi, this manga rivals and beats it without a doubt. I'm surprised how undervalued this manga is. Too bad the publications stopped after Chapter 72 of Volume 9. I shouted out loud at the injustice of not having a publisher for this manga. Apparently some party of the development process went bankrupt.

I demand this manga back! It's my favorite and I need it now!
