This is the first manga style book that I've read, and I totally underestimated the appeal and addiction! The artwork was beautifully depicted! And it only took me a few moments to get into the grove of reading backwards in every way possible! Front to back, right to left, I think I've got it now!

The characters aren't really complex, since most of the actual writing is dialogue. While we are on the topic of dialogue, I should mention there was a lot of it, and a lot of back story. But perhaps that's normal for a manga? The story went really fast, lots of action involved and a little bit of a romance, but nothing steamy.

I don't think I'm going to do my regular star rating, because I'm not sure how to apply it to this style of story-telling. I'll just do an overall rating instead.

Overall, this was really different for me, but it was fun to read, and the story left me intrigued enough to want to read more. Perhaps I'll have to pick of Volume 2! ]]>
