Angel Diary: Volume 12

by YunHee Lee (story) and Kara (a.k.a. Yoon-Gyeong Kim and Eun-Sook Jeong, art), 181 pages

Dong-Young runs away from home (that would be Heaven) and falls in love with a boy, Bi-Wal, at the school she orders her minions to hide her in. It's only after-the-fact that she realizes he is the arranged fiancé she'd been running away from in the first place and not so awful as her imagination had made him out to be. Just because he's the next King of Hell doesn't mean he's a monster. She decides that the only way to make everything right that long-held misconceptions and misunderstandings have made wrong is to become the next Queen of Heaven and change some laws. So she asks Bi-Wal to go home to Hell and wait for her while she returns to Heaven and works toward her goal.

This series is a little hard to follow, politics-wise, and there are lots and lots of characters to keep straight, but it's fun and fluffy and even made me a little sniffley once a few volumes back. The main story mostly wraps up in this penultimate volume along with two extended side stories on the pasts and futures of a number of the characters.
