The hottest man I’ve ever seen is now my new boss— and I’m stuck in a house with him… Until one of us cracks. I’ve got debt—yeah, I know, so does everyone else on Planet Earth. But the bills I’m paying keep my dad and my grandma alive. So it’s pretty messed-up for Timofey Viktorov to use them as a threat to keep me under control. Not that he cares. As a billionaire CEO, he takes no prisoners in the boardroom. And as the don of the Viktorov Bratva, he takes no prisoners in real life, either. Which is why he has no qualms about extorting me into taking his deal. Live in my mansion… Care for my baby… Or suffer the consequences. But he’s not the only one with an agenda. Timofey has skeletons in his closet—and I’m determined to dig them out. He’s just as determined to keep me far away from the secrets of his past. The longer I’m in his house, the tenser things get. Every time we brush past each other in the hallway, something sparks. Every time we cross paths in the night, the ice grows thinner. Sooner or later, it’s going to crack.

    This kind of female lead is really not my forte. She was spoiled rotten by the people around her. As far as i did read, there is no character development on her. Like showing maturity or somethin

    "Zippy Ziggy" is an action comedy that follows the adventures of Kang Shingi, a high school student who appears to have everything going for him—intelligence, good looks, and a seemingly kind, wise, and generous personality. However, beneath this façade, Shingi is vain, selfish, and obsessed with status, willing to commit any dastardly act to gain an advantage over his rivals. His perfect high school life is threatened when Eum Seung-hee, a beautiful and equally skilled fighter, transfers to his school and quickly uncovers his true nature.

    The manga retains a frantic, gag-filled style throughout, featuring characters comically beating each other to a pulp only to recover moments later, frequent humorous asides, and clever instances of breaking the fourth wall. These moments are well-timed and do not become tiresome, including one particularly ingenious reference where a character cites an earlier chapter of "Zippy Ziggy" and shows an actual tankoubon with the relevant page.

    The manga also changes art styles depending on the context. During more realistic or romantic scenes, Kang Shingi is depicted in a detailed and handsome manner. In comedic situations, he is drawn in an exaggerated, unattractive style when plotting evil deeds, or in a simplified, cartoonish form with sharp teeth and a frowning face.

    The supporting characters fit their roles as broad comedic stereotypes perfectly. Kim Dukchill, a towering, immensely powerful delinquent who knocks anyone out cold for mispronouncing his name, is especially memorable. Despite his brute strength, he has a heart of gold, a strong sense of justice, and is awkwardly shy around women. Shingi's father, a handsome middle-aged executive, is even more diabolical and amoral than his son, contributing several standout scenes.

    One notable aspect of the series, particularly in the early volumes, is its ability to layer misunderstandings upon each other in increasingly hilarious ways, continually escalating rather than resolving them.

    However, as the story progresses, certain flaws become apparent. Around chapter 55, the author seems to run out of fresh ideas, leading to repetitive story arcs resolved in straightforward manners. Character developments, such as those of Ranmee and Jang Hyun, are abandoned without explanation, and overarching plot threads remain unresolved. Certain gags, like Kang Shingi being beaten by either Eum Seung-Hee or her martial arts master mother, are repeated excessively, losing their charm.

    This repetition is especially problematic regarding Shingi's and Seung-Hee's relationship. While her initial reactions to Shingi make sense, by the end, given how often he has helped her, she comes across as cruel, ungrateful, and unintelligent—a poor outcome for what should be a likable, attractive female lead.

    The final ending is disappointingly rushed, typical of some Korean manwha. It presents a dream sequence set ten years into the future, which readers will recognize as fictional within a few pages. There’s nothing worse than a conclusion that turns out to merely be a dream.

    That said, despite the lackluster finale, the last 30 chapters aren't bad and still offer some amusing moments. If the first 50-55 chapters rate an 8 in quality, the remainder is closer to a 6.

    Still, I would recommend "Zippy Ziggy" to manga fans who enjoy action comedies. It's genuinely funny, filled with fights and mischief, and its manic, silly energy is hard not to enjoy.

    Intro: Even though it is still ongoing (currently at the 11th volume) and only 13 chapters have been scanlated by ryColaa, I believe this manhwa deserves more attention. Additionally, the only review currently available here is in German.  

    The plot revolves around two primary characters, Shinghi Ghang and Sung-Hae, as their rivalry—and possibly budding romance—intensifies after they discover that both have crafted fake personas to deceive those around them. To avoid being exposed to their classmates, each devises plans to eliminate the other.  

    The story is presented with stunning artwork that has a sharp, edgy style, complemented by exaggerated and humorous facial expressions that enhance the overall atmosphere. As the characters navigate a series of wild scenarios and intense emotions, the manhwa delivers plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, exciting action, and a touch of ecchi.  

    So far, it has been a highly enjoyable read, and we can only hope that more chapters will be released soon. Rating: 9/10  

    Note: This review may be updated as additional volumes become available.

    Well... I think this manga is quite funny. The story revolves around a high school kid who is popular among everyone in school—girls, boys, and even teachers. Everything seems to go his way; you could say he leads a life of perfection (*cough* of lies). That is, until his friend gets into trouble with some delinquents. Everyone thinks no one can help him, except for Shinghi (they believe he's strong because he once stopped a thief, though it was purely accidental—like I said, he lies). So, Shinghi, pretending to be brave, goes to help so as not to tarnish his image. Long story short, he doesn't accomplish anything...

    He ends up getting help from a girl named Sung-hae, who coincidentally turns out to be a transfer student at his school. That's when Shinghi's life starts taking unexpected turns, like getting into all sorts of troubles and more...

    I think this manga is funny, but the problem is that it takes a long time for new chapters to come out.  
    Well, that's all I have to say. Ja na!

    Zippy has a strange title, which might cause many people to overlook it (I did at first too). It's not your typical manga with an intricate plot. Instead, it revolves around a tough female character who can handle herself in a fight and a male counterpart whose wit helps him navigate through various situations. They often compete against each other. Both share some similarities - they each have a facade hiding their true selves. Essentially, they are revered for things they don't actually do but still take credit for.

    The comedy is hilariously over-the-top... and the art greatly enhances the absurdity of their actions. I really love the art; it's funny all on its own.

    I'm not sure what else to add, except that if you're looking for something silly yet entertaining to read, with fantastic art, this is probably the one for both of us.
