      From: bliss-sf4ever@dslextreme.com               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.               bliss              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
