Manga hates Korea

Here is what Asia Times Online had to say:
"Apr 20, 2006 -
A Japanese comic book that puts down Korea will do nothing to ease tensions between the neighbors. The manga authors say that while many Japanese are caught up in all things Korean, the so-called "Korean Wave" has also created a backlash of anti-Korean sentiment that the mainstream media ignore. - Matthew Rusling"

The Wikipedia Entry contains a translated synopsis from the official website:

"Kaname Okiayu was an ordinary high school student that could be found anywhere. She found history difficult, and to put it clearly, she had no interest in it. Not to mention that neither would she have any reason to be interested in South Korea. She merely had the vague assumption that "Japan did bad things to Korea". She was taught that at school, and TV and newspapers also said that. But since the Korea-Japan co-hosted World Cup, she started to feel that "There's something fishy about South Korea"……

As Kaname becomes a college student, she joins the "Far East Asia Research Society" history circle in order to learn more about South Korea. Guided by the seniors she meets there who are utterly absorbed in studying South Korea, she would go on to learn the surprising truth, and the "true" history of South Korea……"

The entry also includes a character list, table of contents, news about the sequel, & a blurb about various responses (spoilers galore).
