This is great! It's like Harry Potter meets Steampunk Frankenstein! Hollow Fields manages to be both cute and creepy at the same time. The artwork was beautiful, if a little carntoonish, and it was pretty short, all three volumes in one book. Lucy Snow, the main character is a very believable and relatable character. I liked how clumsy, gullible, immature and occasionally hot-headed she is, it makes her a much better protagonist than one that never makes any mistakes, yet she is also determin...more
Hollowfields is such a cute story with so much action that it should please most readers. This is my 14 year old son's favorite story so far.
Nine year old Lucy Snow is going to boarding school for the first time in the middle of the year. She gets lost and finds herself at a school. It's been raining and she is so hungry that she signs the school's contract just to stay inside. It doesn't take long for her to discover she has just joined a school for future mad scientists.

A unique and creative short manga that blurs the traditional lines between sci-fi and fantasy, between girls manga and science, and manages to have plenty of action and plenty of fascinating characters. And its short. This omnibus collects all three volumes in one which is a great way to read this story. Highly recommended for manga fans.
