   	Well I picked this up at the SFPL Main Genre Graphic novels section on   
   the 1st floor.   
      
   	This is a well-drawn fantasy of multiple levels of manga   
   reality.  The writer falls into his manga, his manga characters   
   escape into the past of the story and into his reality.   
   	The escaped character wonders who is drawing the reality   
   in which she finds herself.  But there is a lot of confusion   
   shifting between the levels of reality.  The escaped to the past   
   manga character may kill the villain in the past but he has not   
   figured out that he was introduced later in the story to deal w   
   ith the villain.   
   	If the villain is killed early will the continuity be   
   able to continue as it was? If the heroic guy kills the villain   
   will the series collapse back onto itself?   
      
   	Don't ask me!  This is one of the densest manga I have   
   every encountered and if was not a library book would stop   
   reading it for a week or so to let my weak mind integrate   
   the shifty nature of the action.   
      
   	Seems to be worth the price charged in the shops.   
   	I might even buy it eventually.
