Book Description

June 10, 2008 Gimmick (Viz) (Book 1)
Kohei Nagase, a genius when it comes to makeup and special effects. He uses his skills to expertly disguise people from the press, criminals, or anyone wanting to do them harm.

 

Things get rolling for Kohei and his stuntman sidekick Shingo when a sexy young starlet asks for their help in ditching her sleazy manager. Later, Kohei is commissioned to replace some zombies at a local horror theme park, but can he also prevent a disgruntled make-up artist from blowing the attraction sky high? And an actress whose reputation was sidelined by an accident that left her body scarred hopes Kohei can get her career back on track.

3.0 out of 5 stars Have a problem? Call the guy with the special makeup tool..., October 13, 2010
This review is from: Gimmick!, Vol. 1 (Gimmick (Viz)) (Paperback)
I found a copy of this manga while looking through the shelves at my local library, and I checked it out to take a look at it.

Kohei Nagase is the main character of this series. He's a makeup and special effects artist who is able to come up with incredible makeup and special effects by using his special makeup tool. He helps to disguise his friends from their enemies and to get them through predicaments they may find themselves in. Unfortunately, there are also those people who try to take advantage of Kohei's skills for their own financial gain. Kohei has a muscle-bound sidekick named Kaminazuki.

Gimmick! had an interesting concept, and I think there could be potential in future volumes of this series. However, it should be noted that this manga series is geared more toward adults than to teenagers; this volume contains some nudity and subject matter that is a little more appropriate for older readers. I would personally recommend this manga series to readers who are seventeen or eighteen years of age and older.

I wrote this review after checking out a copy of this manga volume through the King County Library System.
