I found 'Odd Girl Out' when I searching if there wasn't any webtoon to read on LINE Webtoon application as always. In fact, I've read it a few times before, but because of the thumbnails and the title, it didn't quite grab my attention. I like fantasy, I like action and I love mystery thriller. I love them all, but 'Odd Girl Out' felt like it will deal with the stories of adolescent girls and hence, I wasn't really drawn to it. And as soon as I finished episode 1, I didn't stop (or couldn't stop, to be precise ) and ended up reading all the episodes that came out so far.
The cute girl is Oh Nari, the main character of this title. After a successful diet, she created the best shape of her life, which indeed made her feel good about her first day of going to high school. At the new high school, she was thrilled with the joy of living a new life after a diet, wondering about what high school life would be like. Meanwhile, she meets a girl. The girl's name was Lim Yuna. She was a childhood friend of Oh Nari.

Yuna was the daughter of her mother's friend, the two mothers of these girls were also friends since their childhood. But due to some sort of incident, the two girls got separated when they were young and met once again in high school. In fact, Yuna was the most precious childhood friend for Na-ri, but after breaking up with her in Year 6, it was the first time for Na-ri to meet her again after a long time. Among the readers, some presumed that Yuna would be the villain at first because of her disregarding and exploitative attitude toward Na-ri (even I had speculated the same). The truth was that Yuna was the person who valued Na-ri more than anybody else. Yuna despised Na-ri for being stupid when she first met her, but as Na-ri genuinely cared for her after getting a tremendous trauma due to a traffic accident, she started considering Na-ri as a friend and showed the efforts to overcome previous feelings (though she couldn't express them since being a tsundere)Until then, there were only people who approached her just by looking at her appearance, status, and financial background. Yuna had decided to go to this high school in the first place because she wanted to go to the same school as Nari. It was indeed an act of reconciliation and friendship. She plays the most important role in the webtoon and has the closest relationship with Nari. She is the jack-of-all-trades who doesn't lack in anything including appearance, wealth and intelligence. In the webtoon, she is very much admired by many people for her outstanding looks and cool personality.


Nari, who has become self -confident after a successful diet, thought she'll be in the top 20 in terms of appearance after seeing her classmates on the first day of high school. And in order to get to know a friend sitting in front of her, she handed her the cookies she brought herself and the figure of Seonji turning back was as the above image. She was like a goddess, or perhaps, goddess herself. She became Na-ri's first friend after Na-ri came to her class in high school and she had a classic beauty look, white skin, and silky hair. In fact, it was extraordinary to be pretty in such style. She was very pretty even if she had long braided hair which was quite outdated. Seonji was an outstandingly beautiful girl who had an appearance that could be on par with, or above Yoo-na's. The boys in the same school claimed that her face is the prettiest. Of the four main characters, Seonji was the most introverted and least talkative character with passive sides who was less popular in the class. Because of those who were jealous of her, she even had to get bullied due to the bad rumors that spread. (At this time, the images of Seonji going through such bullies were very explicitly and realistically illustrated which even made the readers heartbroken. I think this is one of the capacities of the artist.) While getting bullied, Na-ri sided with Seonji to go through all the disapproving eyes of their classmates and continued to grow with each other. Watching them as a third party who already knows everything was indeed very painful. Despite that her household was difficult, Seonji was a very strong and nice character who has delighted the readers.

Seo Mi-rae also had a good-looking appearance that was comparable to Yuna and Seonji's and she was an example of a pleasant friend with the warmest heart who made people comfortable. She was the friend who wouldn't reveal her own wounds, but encourage others to overcome theirs. Since she had half German blood, she had the most exotic appearance among the four main characters. She had the tallest height and the best shape. But in the webtoon, she actually looked smaller than Yuna. She was very active, had an easy-going personality and an excellent sense of humor and therefore, was very popular. After enrolling into Na-ri's class to follow Yoo-na at first, she saw Yoo-na's positive attitudes towards Na-ri and also became curious and fond of Na-ri, Personally, I think that the chemistry between Na-ri and Mi-rae works really smoothly in the webtoon. I suppose these two characters fit well with each other. There is one disadvantage of Mi-are though which is her optimistic personality that handles everything sloppily which goes beyond just being simple. Her such personality is too careless even for Na-ri to adapt to it.

As there definitely is a limit to fully explain the emotions of this title in a text until you actually read it, I strongly recommend you to give it a go. Face the growth of the beautiful girls and realize that the world we live in is not yet so dry through their life experiences.
