Katherine, the series hasn’t been discontinued! A blogger wrote to Dark Horse to find out what’s going on, and they’re actually bringing out Volumes 3 and 4!

That truly is sad- of all the manga series I’ve ever read about online, this is one with almost 100% positive reader feedback. I’d go so far as to say that it’s one of the best manhwa/mangas out there right now, and I’m gutted that the official translations are being discontinued. Still, at least the Korean originals are out there.

Dark Horse released two volumes in 2007, but has not yet announced plans for any further volumes. (Six have been released so far in Korea.) My guess is that it didn’t meet sales expectations, and so it was shelved. It’s too bad, because I’d take BOTWG any day over MPD Psycho or

Oh dear, it’s on indefinite hiatus? Why? It shouldn’t be for lack of reader interest- I’ve only read as far as Chapter 36, but I’m guessing more have been brought out in Korea. When you say the series is on hiatus, does that mean that Dark Horse has discontinued it for now, or that the manhwaga (I hope I have the spelling right!) is on a break? I think I’ll investigate Dokebi Bride in its absence…

I agree, Drusilla! I thought this was one of the best new series Dark Horse published last year, and am very disappointed that the series has gone on indefinite hiatus. I really want to know what happens next!

Oh, my…this is a BEAUTIFUL series. Not just for the artwork, but it actually sets up a fairly interesting chemistry between Soah, Habaek/Mui’s dual forms, and now Hoo-Ye too (and as for plot, I’m most definitely intrigued enough to want to see what lies ahead). If it ever became available in my area (I don’t have credit cards and can’t shop online) I’d definitely buy it. And I’m glad it looks the way it does- a story like this really wouldn’t work with overly moe, typically-shoujo artwork (and I’m a sucker for a good folk tale too- though this reminds me slightly of the Cupid/Psyche myth archetype).

I really hope you enjoy it! This was a total pleasure to read (and review), and left me with an even higher opinion of Dark Horse’s manwha line. They’ve done a great job of culling the herd and licensing grade-A titles for the US market.

This series sounds sooooo like a perfect series for me. I love myths and fairy-tales. I’m really glad I ordered it now!

Oh, yay! I’m so glad to hear that this is as good as it seemed like it could be.
