1/2 Prince has a captivating storyline. The characters and their personalities are well-developed, the plot flows seamlessly, and even the tiny disregarded details are important causal agents in building up and finally explaining the entire mystery behind Second Life.
I grew impatient at having to wait 1 to 2 months for the manga chapter to be released, so I had spent the entire day reading the original untranslated 1/2 Prince novel series by Yu Wo (御我). [You can find the online novel here: http://www.wretch.cc/blog/kim1984429&category_id=11169901]
To my chagrin, the story is written in Chinese. Although I personally prefer reading in English, because the Chinese language has never been my strongest suit, that choice and such a selfish request is not available to me. Furthermore, the existing online 1/2 Prince English-translation website that posts up translated works by Yu Wo has yet to catch up with the manga chapters.

Nonetheless, I charged on with my resolve to uncover the entire plot in 1/2 Prince! And I must say, the results did not leave me the least disappointed.
I am highly impressed by the plot development; the unexpected twists, surprises, and of course the ultimate revelation have left me quite literally...dumbfounded. I am in the midst of recovering from the delightful surprise and the ending which, in my honest opinion, could not have been more perfect.
I hold the greatest admiration for the writer, Yu Wo.
