Blank, Volume 1

by Pop Mhan

Murder, deceit, dames...and trig tests? The life of a secret agent is not an easy one, especially when you have amnesia. So when the thick-witted young pervert who calls himself Blank shows up at her school claiming to be one, Aki Clark has every reason to be skeptical. However, between his dedication, his ridiculous way with women, and his ability to make her laugh, Aki finds herself drawn to this man with no memory. But when they find themselves in the midst of a dark plot by the terrorist organization Raizen, Blank had better remember his secret agent skills quickly, or risk losing a lot more than his memory.From the manic mind of Pop Mhan (Batgirl, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man, SpyBoy) comes a sordid tale of spies, satellites and sexy schoolgirls!

This might suit fans of Gintama or Blue Monday, but it was definitely not for me! I kept wishing that this book was worth reading so I'd have a reason to finish it other than being a completionist. Sexual harassment isn't funny, guys, and it's the only humor this book has, not to mention that it seems to be half the plot as well. And girls don't fondle their friends, warning or no. Sorry to step on your fantasies.

I think this is American manga. It's too American for my taste. The flavor is decidedly different than Japanese manga -- its boy fight boy, boy ogle girl and girl fight boy. The key words are fight and ogle -- there's no interpersonal substance to this. Fortunately, I stopped at volume 1.

Exciting and fun American manga with just a little too much fan-service.
