Probably, this cartoon is the first one from Japan. Written in Japanese.
I regret this book is NOT made with high resolution. Bit, I know Kindle book format has many limitation on high resolution picture. So, I rated 4.

The story is good. I feel a warm glow in my heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quietly effective (and yay, English!), March 26, 2010

This appears to be chapter one of a longer manga (or possibly a rather open-ended short story, although I hope it's the former). Tetsuro Kenmochi is a young man employed doing photography and digital retouch of sexy women for a men's magazine company. Back in high school, when he was a budding photographer, he had an unrequited crush on Karina, another student at his school and an aspiring idol singer, who went on to be a model and now features in one of the photographs he's working on. His crush has obviously not gone away.

The story (so far) is slow-moving and character-driven. The art is spare and cleanly laid out, and the pages are well-composed although text-heavy in spots, but the actual draftsmanship is rather weak. The translation is clean and fluent, and the retouch and lettering are fine. I look forward to more installments.

(I previously reviewed this when it was in Japanese only, and now that it has been updated to be in English, I have revised the review.)
