Reception

Joy Kim of Manga Life also praised the art style saying the characters were distinctive. She criticized the relationship of the lead couple, Si-Joon Lee and Mu-Yeon Park, saying that Mu-Yeon should not be so sweet and protective of someone who does not return her feelings. Kim praised the character Ji-Oh Yun as the most interesting character in the series and that his relationship with Mu-Hwa Park is interesting. [13] [14] Melinda Beasi of Manga Bookshelf reviewed the first volume and concluded that despite being "somewhat muddled, the visual storytelling is not. The art is clean, lovely, and easy to follow, with a nicely restrained use of elaborate backgrounds and imaginative panel layouts. The character designs are pretty, distinct, and occasionally even creepy, as with Mu-Yeon's eternally smiling mask. The overall look is undeniably "manhwa" – a draw for some and a turn-off for others." [15] Erin Jones of Mania.com noted the distinct and typical romance story in the first volume, but found the first volume enjoyable and noted that the interactions of the "Pig Girl" are what will drive the series despite the volume ending without strong development of the characters. [16] A review of volume two by Pop Culture Shock gave it a "B+" despite confusion caused by the plot and "vagueness on the villain front, Pig Bride is still a very entertaining tale." [17]

The series was received negatively by Katherine Dacey of Mangacritic.com where it was listed as fifth on Manga Critic's "The 2009 Manga Hall of Shame Inductees". Dacey criticized the series' lack of comedy, art style, and the personality of girls stating the author must hate girls. [18] Kurt Hassler of Yen Press rebutted Mangacritics review and disagreed and praised the characters and the art style. [19] Hassler's response to the review led to Dacey modifying her review to specify it was not hatred of women, but of the characters. [18] Hassler also highlighted a quote from a review by Julie Opipari of Manga Maniac Cafe, a personal website, which stated, "The art alone makes this title worthy of a read, with its fine lines, elegant details, and overall attractiveness…the vision revealed inside this book is gorgeous. Dramatic and comedic scenes are played out with equal effectiveness, making the visuals a joy to behold." [19]
