I've finished "13th Boy Vol. 10" by SangEun Lee.

Product Description

Now that Hee-So knows how Beatrice feels about her, she's made it her mission to not avoid him and treasure those feelings as he tries to set his heart straight. As part of his effort, Beatrice returns the precious ribbon given to his cactus self by his beloved owner. But when she manages to lose the ribbon to the wind, the desperate Hee-So turns to Whie-Young for help in getting it back, blind to the impact it will have on his body.

My Review:

At the end of Vol. 9 Beatrice kissed Hee-So, told her he loved her and gave back the piece of ribbon she gave him when he was his cactus self.  Hee-So has decided not to avoid Beatrice after his admission and to treasure those feelings.

One day Hee-So skips school to hang out with Whie-Young when suddenly she loses the piece of ribbon to  that Beatrice gave her to the wind.  She begs Whie-Young to use his magic to get it back for her without knowing how it would impact his body.  Whie-Young uses his power to get the ribbon back but he collapses into the water.  Hee-So jumps in and saves him and takes him to the hospital.  He's unconscious for at least four days and he's dreaming of his younger self and learns a secret that might have an impact on his and Hee-So's life.

This volume showcases Whie-Young in the lead and we learn how he was treated like a slave by Hee-So in their younger years and how he would make sure she was happy.  Whie-Young has come to the conclusion if only he loved Hee-So he would be so much happier.

It was nice to see Beatrice away from Hee-So and working for his family (he gets paid for all his hard work).  He's trying to be more manly because that is the guys Hee-So is attracted to.

Hee-So has come to the conclusion that she likes Whie-Young and it looks like a triangle is starting.

4/5
