5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Different--Try it!, October 5, 2003

This review is from: Baby Birth, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

From the moment you first open the book, you'll see it's like no other. Sure, manga plot is often recycled, with suicide, wars, and really magical swords being especially popular, but Baby Birth is none of these. It's a fantasy manga, with the Apocalypse of the world on the brink of the horizon, but it's not what it may seem. The drawings are excellent--the artist really put a lot of effort into making this manga top-notch, and if you're one a fan of Planet Ladder or even Clamp, you should get this book. Like now.

2.0 out of 5 stars so much potential lost (nothing to do with translation)..., January 18, 2004

This review is from: Baby Birth, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

I was very excited at first with this series. Looked good, sounded good, as fare as I could tell translated well, and the first volume was great! But, (yes but) it completely let me down with volume two. It was so pushed, cramped and out right bland and more. At first read great, leave it at that though. Disappointing!
