To all our fans and friends, you all know DQ for the yaoi/boys’ love manga that we publish. It is our hope that you will also embrace the wonderful manhwa (man-hwa) stories that we will be bringing out this summer. The manhwa titles from DQ will be some of the best stories from some very talented Korean authors.
Why manhwa? To put it simply—the stories ROCK! Korean comic authors seem to be able to write stories that are grounded in everyday life, but have twists and turns that change the ordinariness of life into unexpected adventures. The elements of great storytelling combined with detailed, beautiful, and sometimes outright cute artwork—makes Korean comics an addiction that’s a pleasure to indulge in. Yes, the yaoi line will always be our flagship, however, our love of comics is boundless, and we are very excited to have the chance to launch the DQ Manhwa line. From our perspective, creative talent should have no borders, and we owe it to you and ourselves to showcase these talents, wherever they may be, so we can all enjoy the creativity and imagination of these individuals. Like with everything that the DQ staff does, you can be sure that the manhwa line will be done with much love and passion.
With each book that you buy from DQ, know that we put all our heart and effort into it so that it will be as precious to you as it is to us.
Without further ado, please read on about the first two series in our manhwa lineup!

Sincerely,

DQ Staff

Coming This Summer 2006, Twin Releases by Popular Author, Kye Young Chon: AUDITION and DVD

AUDITION
10 volumes - complete.

Ever dream of being in a rock band? Ever dream of being in a GENIUS rock band? Could there be such a thing? For Chul, Dal Bong, Mickey, and Rae-young, it’s not a matter of if, but of when.
These four deviant misfits of society find themselves stalked, caught, and coerced into forming the greatest boy band of the century. It doesn’t hurt that they have talent, looks, and personality. A female detective, an heiress, a Betsy Johnson-inspired wardrobe, an evil dude, a cute evil dude, and other casts and characters all come together in this brilliant high jinks story of rock 'n roll, friends, and yes, love, that will make you wish you could have been there for the Audition.

Don’t miss having for yourself what other fans have been raving about from Korea to Germany!

DVD
8 volumes - complete.

A lighthearted comedy about the trials and travails of friendship.
The heroine: Ddam Shim
The heroes (maybe): DD and Venu
Fate brought these three together through a chance encounter at a department store lingerie department. A double D padded-bra tag with a cell number… Sometimes, you never know what can happen if you make that call.

For Ddam, making that call leads her to a night club dive where DD is the punk rocker DJ and Venu is the decoration. These two have more going for them than Ddam first thought: like how DD waxes poetic about a girl’s eyelashes and Venu downplays his good looks by focusing on the importance of … big breasts.

Since Ddam has her own idiosyncratic behavior to deal with (she talks to cows, among other things), being with these two unrepentant, semi-uncouth, not-bad-bad boys, could be what she needs to help her get out of her funk and maybe figure out what life’s about…. Although DD and Venu aren’t the sharpest wits around, there’s something about them that makes Ddam want to live.

*This is the fourth title from Ms. Chon and by far some of our staff’s favorite. We hope you will enjoy reading about our punk boys as much as we have!
