13th Boy: Volume 5

by SangEun Lee, 183 pages

It's Sae-Bom's birthday and Hee-So begs Whie-Young to bring the girl's stuffed bunny, Toe-Toe, back to life as a special gift. The party is eventful in more ways than one as gifts are given and received, confessions are made, revelations are triggered, and lives are changed.

Oh, things are messier now than ever, but the characters are more aware and honest this time around, so it still counts as progress. Now, if Whie-Young would just come out and explain why he's always so fatalistic--and if Hee-So would stop being so dense when he tries to tell her--things would clear up a little; but everybody has choices to make, so we'll just have to wait and see where the results lead them.
