Pretty funny and interesting

by Celianna

You can always tell when you're reading a manwha, and not a manga. The girl main character with long wavy hair, and huge sparkling eyes. The love interest with a pointy chin that could stab someone's heart and big sparkly eyes as well. Then of course, you can't help but notice that everyone seems to be involved with some kind of gang, or bullying - and the fanclubs.

And that's when you notice Don't Touch Me! is a parody of all those other manwha's out there that are exactly like that - but take themselves far too serious. In later chapters, it now deconstructs the tropes found in this manwha, which makes for an interesting read. So the earlier chapters are parody, and can probably make you laugh a few times, and the later chapters will try to deconstruct these parodies and give a real world spin to them.

The Manwha is about a girl named Mirang, who as a little kid, always used to bully a boy who was friends with her brother. Because he took her brother's time away from her, she hated him, and bullied him. She hit him, threw rocks at him - awful stuff. But the boy named Won would always say it didn't irritate him, it didn't bother him, it didn't hurt - and that pissed her off. Later on she moves away, and comes back 7 years later, where she sees he has grown up way taller than she has. She notes he has a weird looking face, when previously he had a cute face and she promptly starts to make fun of him again, even hitting him again. Won again says it doesn't irritate him, and Mirang faithfully noted that even though he grew up, he was still the same Won - and she liked it.

The heart of the story is about Won's face. Won apparently grew up looking hotter than the hottest guy on earth. This made people (men and women alike) fawn over him, and get into fights over who would approach him first, or date him, or touch him etc. Eventually they all decided to never touch Won, so that they could all stop fighting, and the fanclubs were born. Because everyone started to avoid him, Won begins to think his face is ugly, and decides to cover up half his face with a scarf to not make people so uncomfortable around him.

Funny thing is, Mirang will gleefully note his face makes her laugh, something she considers a great compliment because her ideal man is a comedian who makes her laugh - but to Won it's like a stab at his worst insecurity; his face is so ugly it makes her laugh. That's where most of the humour comes from.

Don't Touch Me is about Mirang liking Won and trying to get him to like her back as well, while the plot will deal with Won's pretty face and his overly obsessed fanclub with him. In later chapters this gets deconstructed and adds just the tiniest bit of realism to it.

It's a funny story, a parody really, with likable characters and charm to it. It's not to be taken serious, and it doesn't pretend to be anything different - which is why I like it. Give it a try and read the first 10 or so chapters, if you found you still don't like it, then it's not for you.

Downhill

Ok, so the art was always terrible
But the storyline hooked me at the start. The characters and storyline were really original
But after the two main characters started going out, things went downhill, with alot of WTH-inducing moments

I think it's a satire of Manwha cliches.

by omenivorous

Rating: 8.5 / 10.0

There are many cliches used for comedic effect and yet somehow the more I read it the more I like this manwha. It makes me like something I normally would not like or think little of, and to me that is a special quality. Most of the characters have bad personalities and yet the manwhaka adds just enough extra touches to make them sympathetic and charming. Even in the most absurd situations, the feelings of the characters are still heartwarming.

At this point I've read through chapter 5 and I think this is where I am beginning to like it. I was somewhat bothered in the beginning because this manwha combines what I think are cliches specific to korea, (somehow jjangs are everywhere, people get offended by the slightest hint of disrespect while at the same time regarding anyone but themselves as trash, idolization of popular kids to astronomical degrees, [particularly shown by the fanclubs,] ridiculous amounts of angst caused only by pride and indecision, and many more, but the more I read, the more I realize that they are so over the top that the author has used them for comedy and to poke fun at how prevalent the cliches have become.

Cliches like those cause me to generally avoid manwha, but here it seems like the author throws them into a big pot and lets them stew and somehow what comes out is delicious and hilarious. After five chapters the only conclusion I can come to is that it is a satire, and each page reinforces that assumption.

This manwha uses a lot of the things I like about manwha and a bit of good storytelling to make fun of all the things I hate about manwha. Although some of the general situations may not be original, I think they are used only as much as is inevitable in order to parody them. With that taken into I think the characters still have original personalities, and that "their story" itself feels original and not formulaic.

I'm finding myself getting bored already with the same ole' story line. The art and facial expressions are well drawn but that is the only thing keeping me sated. There are a few funny moments but otherwise I'm disappointed.

ITS RLY GOOD

GIVE IT ABOUT 4-5 CHAPTERS AND YOU ARE GOING TO FALL IN LOVE.

At first i hated the girl character and how its so typical shojo-ish.
BUT was i wrong or what. The development gets interesting and its so funny later on.

The main guy, Won, has to be the cutest (but dumbest) guy ever.
The things he do is squeeels

Well the main girl character does have a princess-like personality...BUT she also has the face to boot it, so its cool.

Try and you won't regret it.

Are we reading the same manhwa?

Lots of the comments that I've read have said that it's cliche, but I didn't get bored with any of it! Where else can you laugh like this? Where else is that silly shoujo love sequence replaced with, "your mine cuz I licked you first" and "Doesn't it hurt, doesn't it hurt, isn't it annoying?"
or a fight is won because someone threatens to bleed on someone else?
Read this again at least to ch.5 to see that this is an amazing parody

You have to read at least through the first 2 volumes...

If you only read the first few chapters, then you will think this manhwa as ordinary or very cliche. It's how the main character develops in the latter volumes that makes this series original. I also was irritated by the main character after only reading the first volume. However, the events in the second and beyond made this series worth the read.

Wonderful characters

I love how the characters were created. The author did an amazing job on making the characters and the relationships between them. The story was a bit normal and lacking in the beginning but it gets better later on. The art is fairly decent and very cute. I love the huge eyes of the characters.

Hilarious!

Actually, it's not so much a cliche, it's more accurate to say that this is a parody! The characters are so purposely outrageous, it's absolutely hilarious! The main female protagonist (vain idiot) is like a cross between a spoiled princess and a rabid dog, the main male (clueless idiot) is apparently so good-looking that even guys and teachers fought over him, and then there's the legion of rabid fangirls (petty idiots) who fail miserably on picking on the main girl.

And even the girl herself says it: "It's like a manhwa! Even if the girl is ugly or not worth much, as long as she's the main character, there will be lots of guys around her!" cue mental image of lots of guys prancing around her

It's like a cheap laugh, but for me, who cares as long as it's this funny? I'm not sure how it will develop after the first volume, but so far it's a darn fun read.
