Shi-Hyun Lee is pure bad luck, or at least everyone says so.  Shi-Hyun has bought into the myth of her dark cloud (somewhat), and she believes that she may have caused her old school to go bankrupt.  Going to her new school means Shi-Hyun will spend more time with her stepbrother, Shi-Woo, the object of many girls' affections and also very good with a needle and thread.

There's so much drama to deal with at the new school.  Everyday, Shi-Hyun must face off with the minions of The Queen Bee - Hee-Young Lee - the school's boss girl who has superb fighting skills.  There's also The Cool Prince - Ma-Hyun - who has good looks and that cool demeanor that attracts swooning girls.  He actually has his eye on Shi-Hyun.  Then, there's Shi-Hyun's new friend, Hee-Soo Yuh, who comes across as so in love with Shi-Hyun, but has a secret agenda.

Good Luck by E-Jin Kang is a romance and drama manhwa (Korean comics), or better yet, a romantic, teen melodrama.  Cat fights, rivalries, boyish territorial disputes, and spats over girls: it's all here.  There's even a darkling revenge subplot, and the art is plenty gothic.  This is bishounen (beautiful boy comics) for 'tweens, and maybe older readers into Manga goth.
