We did a manga roundtable a while back and I messed up my contribution by stringing it out too long. Basically, I don’t know manga and have the usual outsider’s reaction to the characters’ odd features, etc. I could have boiled my thoughts way down. As in:
Manga Haiku
Man, those eyes are big.
People like this shit? Jesus!
I prefer Batman.
I don’t mean it, though. We all read some of YKK and the art was first-rate. Now we’re reading Helter Skelter and the art is also quite fine and quite different. The story … well, gee, why spoil the moment?
“Now we’re all reading Helter Skelter.”
-gnarly!
