Yoonha is an attractive, but also incredibly sexist, young man. Right before he’s about to graduate from junior high, he wakes up one morning to learn that an important something is missing. After the requisite freakout session, he learns from his father that during their teen years, everyone in his family switches genders, and that his parents fell in love when they were both girls. Not willing to have anyone know what’s happening to him, he begs his parents to move, and two years later is the most popular girl in school, with both the boys and the girls.

Yoonha is almost too irritating to read about in the beginning, but would be cool after the time jump if she didn’t maintain some of the sexist attitudes. There’s a shoujo badboy biker who likes the tough girl who wears men’s underwear after her, as well as the foul mouthed and stubborn girl he liked before the genderswitch who’s been looking for him for the last two years. Except that he liked her because he thought she was meek and obedient, and she acted like that because she thought she had to to get a boyfriend.

Weird, and without particularly likable characters, but interesting. Has anyone read any of the other series by Youngran Lee that Netcomics has licensed? And more importantly, did Netcomics put out the entire series?

So, lately, I have been watching The Inside with [livejournal.com profile] prozacpark. It's a pretty spiffy about an FBI team. The boss, Web, is a bit evil and sadistic and likes to surround himself with people with Issues. Because apparently, people who could snap at any given time are much better at it than anyone else. I rather love him for it, because it means that he stamped the approval papers for Rebecca Locke, a young profiler who failed the entrance exam several times, due to the part where she was kidnapped as a child and returned on her own a year later with no memories of where she'd been or how she'd escaped. She's wonderfully unhinged.

But before Tim Minear got ahold of the series, it was this: 

 

THE INSIDE: At first glance, DANNY ROBERTS (RACHEL NICHOLS, “Dumb & Dumberer”) seems to be the quintessential American teenager, dating the quarterback at a suburban high school. Only a few know her secret: Danny is not really a high school student, but a 22-year-old federal agent working undercover. Helping Danny – who is actually Agent ELIZABETH WORTH – maintain her cover is Agent SEAN ECKHARDT (PETER FACINELLI, “Fastlane”). In the pilot episode, Danny/Elizabeth’s drug investigation is sidetracked when her high school “boyfriend” is murdered. She must confront the pressures of getting personally involved in the lives of her classmates, while working to solve the murder and put the drug investigation back on track – all without blowing her cover. Over the course of the series, Danny’s assignments will vary, but she always faces the unique challenges of going undercover to solve crimes.

ETA:  Seriously, it went from that to this:



Though, the idea of Rebecca in pink...

*wonders if Rebecca even knows what pink IS*
