I really like this one. It's strange and the way it has been piled up is different too. I think that's what makes it much more interesting. Also, the stories are human, mostly love stories. I would recommend it. It's fun to read too. The main female character is a funny one.

Whimsical masterpiece

by Odette

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

This manhwa is not for everyone, but it can be very rewarding for those who enjoy things that are different.

Be aware that it takes a while to take off: this is a story where the sum is greater than its parts. It takes a while for each episode to seep in, settle down like a layer in your psyche, and gradually turn into a watercolor painting of emotions. The theme of this painting is not really any particular people, but the idea of Love, which here includes familial love as well as romantic love. (Pardon the cheesy painting metaphor, but it's the best way I could describe it.)

Before starting this manhwa, you might ask yourself what you are looking for. I liked this series without caring too much about its flaws because it had hard-hitting substance underneath the strangeness. I was patient with the fact that the main couple was not really focus of the story. The first few volumes may give off a rough-around-the-edges, disjointed feeling because of the seemingly unrelated stories, which at one moment might be a dramatic tale about aliens traveling through time and space, at another moment a comic interlude about high school students. But if you suspend your need for logic and order, you might feel your mind expand in an exquisite dreamworld, full of wit, charm, and poetic twists of fate.

When I finished the last chapter, tears unexpectedly welled up in my eyes. It was not a tragic ending, but the beauty of it left a deep impression on me.

one of the best manga out there!

and i can be pretty picky about manga.

i agree with all the positive comments mentioned in other people's comments. This is definitely a manga I can imagine myself picking up time after time and experience the same emotional impact I had felt when I first read it. Great mix of comedy, drama, romance, and the supernatural. It is perfectly balanced and there are no slow parts. I enjoyed reading about the author's mentality (she has a note in the beginning of each volume i think)- how she doesn't like all those sneering wish-granters who would grant a wish but twist it around for their own amusement. She writes about a magician who would try to grant people their wishes without hurting them. And there are just so many twists that grab at your heart in a good way. Haven't read a manga this well-written in a while.

One of my favorite

'I Wish' is a manhwa I have read many times. I can't remember how many. It's something like xxx holic but more romantic and comical. The art isn't the best, but is decent. The story line is a masterpiece. The author did such a good job on mixing comedy and seriousness. It begins as a more comcial manhwa in the beginning and the middle, but as it reaches the end, it become more serious and heart breaking. It will take a while for the whole story line to appear, but you won't regret taking that time. It's one of my all time favorite manhwas.

This manhwa is really interesting, although some of it is a little complex to understand, in the end, you slowly realize what's happening...The only thing is, that is there suppose to be a romance relationship between Jin and K, or what? Is it just cases that revolve on love? It's odd how they put random half-Homosexuallity-ish stuff in the cases, because you cant tell if it's weird or not, since their straight and innoccent o_0. Anyway, it's really interesting! I'm looking forward to other chapters!

Absolutely loved it

I thought "I Wish..." was a lovely manhwa (probably one of the best I've read) because it did a wonderful job of combining comedy with tragedy in a very unique, intriguing way; I was sincerely touched by its simultaneously heartwarming and heart-wrenching plot arcs. Admittedly it was a bit quirky and confusing at times but, all things considered, the emotional payoff was very worth it. The romantic idealist in me really, truly loved the whole thing.

Great story truly worth it when you read all the way to the end. What bothered me was their names were J,K,Y,D,and 7. At first when I heard he had more disciples but some are dead I though "oh they must fill in the missing alphabet" but no they threw in a number

Felt disconnected somehow

It was a very interesting story but the romance seemed a bit disconnected. The ending is dealt didn't have enough bang to it as well. Artistry is as usual with manwha's ( big hands, girlish faces; with the men)

I girl in her jealousy of her families vacation wishes their plane to crash?! Wth?! Then when it actually comes true she is sent to magician that grants wishes. He is rude and abusive but on a promise he made to her brother he looks after her. She then is drawn into his world and sees first and how his wish casting works.. She then starts to meet friends of his and she starts to chane him little by little.. It cuts in and out of the past and present.. Apparently her brother is a sort of god that was cursed to live only till he is 20 and be born again thousands of times... As the story progresses it seems the magician has Fallen in love with her and because of a side effect that comes with his race. When she does his heart explodes. Having a old "friend" come back Into the picture for revenge it puts a bit of a distance between them.. But on the last moment he snaps out of it and saves her from killing herself.. And in his cold times he cast a cruel wish on people.. So to make up for it he chose to die, and apon his death all the things that were given to him as trade for others wishes got returned back to them.. She then thinks of him to be the one she wishes to return to her instead of her family.. And he does.. Her feelings are shown in the end.. But it isn't a progressive story about their romance in my opinion.. Was kinda just rushed towards the end. I also thought the scene could have been more nicely dramatic.

Interesting story!

by Kinky-Chan

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

Although sometimes I find Jin very irritating but she's not dis-likeable. She's interesting and I find K MUCH MORE interesting. This manga's storyline is not dark (thank goodness!) and it's very fun to read as well. All of the story seems amazing but I find the one with the mute boy so touuuuching! And that story is the one that I laughed a lot, especially when she said that she fell down with her panties being shown. xD

But overall, it's a good read (and good art!! oh bishies!) You might want to pick this up if you want something that's light and not overly depressed manga!
