The ''Diary ng Panget'' tetralogy (''Diary of an Ugly'') is a series of romantic comedy novels by a Wattpad author under the name of HaveYouSeenThisGirL. The original, unedited story was first posted on the online literary site Wattpad. The story was split into four books and topped the rankings on the bestseller's list of Philippine publications in major bookstores. In September 2013, during the Manila International Book Fair, Viva Films announced their acquisition of the title and its long-awaited film adaptation that was shown in 2014. This is the first movie adaptation of a story first published in Wattpad. ==Origins and publishing history== Described her piece as "''Sobrang simple lang po, sobrang cliché, isang girl na mahirap na di kagandahan makaka-meet ng guy na suplado at mayaman. Yun lang po.'' (Very simple, very cliché: A poor plain Jane meets Mr. rich-and-snobbish. That’s it.)". ''Diary ng Panget'' became an internet sensation accounting the online novel with over 12 million reads. Its popularity gained the attention of Arnel Gabriel from PSICOM Publishing which held the account of turning the online novel into a book series and even hold the risk of publishing any Wattpad properties. In late 2012, Gabriel wrote to the author about seeing her work as a physical book but due to mix-up with her email addresses, it took two months for Denny to reply. Due to its length, ''Diary Ng Panget'' was split into four volumes, each ending in cliffhangers. When the first volume hit the bookstores in May, it became the best-seller in an instant also with the remaining three volumes. The book version was the same as the Wattpad version except for some characters until its fourth volume came out and new content in it was different compared to the original ending in Wattpad. In May 2013, the eBook version of the story has been removed from Wattpad by the owner, in order to prevent further unauthorized reproductions of the work. At the release of the last installment of the series, Denny released 2 new series, which are also from Wattpad, entitled ''Voiceless'' and ''She Died''. ''Voiceless'' was published as a 2-part novel series while ''She Died'' is currently being published as a Filipino manga, with its reading direction alternate from the Japanese manga, from left to right and is illustrated by Enjelicious, with the assistance of Jeff Nice. Both of her series is again published by Viva-PSICOM Publishing Corp. (formerly known as PSICOM Publishing Inc.) In March 2014, the series was again published as a movie tie-in and also spanning 4 volumes, which will be available on the nationwide caravan for Diary ng Panget the Movie. The movie tie-in edition is again published by Viva-PSICOM Publishing Corp. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diary ng Panget」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
