Lol-ling over Zippy Ziggy

I’ve recently read the Korean Manhwa (their version of anime manga) Zippy Ziggy and all I did the whole time I was reading it was laugh my heart out! If you guess that this Korean anime is all about comedic antics of its leading character, then I’d have to say you are absolutely right! And it doesn’t help your poor lungs that it was drawn waaaaayyyy hilarious! I was only on the fourth page and I was already laughing so hard! Well, if you don’t believe me, then take a look at the page I’m talking about:
Now, you believe me right? *Insert Major LOL*
But comedic and breathtakingly funny Zippy Ziggy may be, it tells of a struggle (err, okay not really) of a teenager named Gan Shinji to be known and popular to his school and especially to the female body (telling it that way really does not make it much of a struggle now, haha!)
However, the misadventures of Gan Shinji is what Zippy Ziggy is all about (at least from what I’ve read, that’s the plot I’m getting). It all started with lies just so he could boast in a subtle way that he holds of a strength which could help save lives, ala modern-day hero. The funny thing about Zippy Ziggy is that when he is about to be busted for his lies, he is saved everytime. And he found his ultimate savior in the form of girl who can pass of as an expert at fighting (just not sure what style of fighting it is).
Unfortunately, translating its Korean language into English is taking a while (perhaps) as it’s still not finished where I’m reading it. Booooo! Haha!
To end this article, let me leave you readers with a funny memory of Gan Shinji which I hope will haunt your thoughts and make you laugh so hard as it did to me. Haha!

I’ve read only a few mangas but this one you posted? About the robber slipping on shit? *lmao* Tama ka, Aimee! It’s so funny! I’m afraid that if I continue to stare at that picture, I will only burst out laughing. All alone at my desk. In the office. Frightening my fellow copywriters. *lol*
“I owe it to that retard robber who slipped on shit.” Best line I’ve encountered after a long time! *lol*

@ Anna: See, I told you it’s so funny! I was also at the office supposed to be working when I read that and I can’t help but laugh! Everytime I remember this at that time, I’ll burst out laughing again! You know me when I find something really funny, I really laugh out loud! Hahah! This manga’s one of the few which made me laugh so hard! Read it, it’s a great stress reliever!
