Manga Mystery


There is a little catch to reading Manga. The book's back cover is really the front cover and you read it back to front?!?!?! And you read it left to right, okay? By the little diagram above you are shown how to read the comics, you can bet that I kept my finger inside that cover while I was reading it because it was a bit confusing. There is so much going on with the characters and drawings that you need to check that diagram once and awhile. The way the characters are drawn - well - everyone has long hair and it is usually across their features so you can't tell the boys from the girls, their names might be nicknames or Japanese style, so the same character might be called by several names. But why get all bogged down with that? It's about a school academy for day students (humans) and night students (vampires) and the 2 main characters Zero and Yuri try to keep the peace between them. It's fun and light hearted and since scifi and fantasy are my middle names, well, I am hooked.
