Excellent and unique,

This review is from: Martin and John Volume 1 (Martin & John) (Paperback)
Translation: Top notch, no spelling errors and the English did not come off stilted or odd. I felt the dialogue flowed very well.
Presentation: Lovely cover with muted colors and the 2 page color insert is fairly nice but I hope to see this trend continued in further volumes and maybe with more colorful art. Story: I am always on the hunt for manga with BL/shounen-ai/yaoish elements that defies the usual uke and seme tropes or any other stereotypes that can plague manga/manwa. This manwa definitely fits, as it tackles real life issues and makes social commentary while displaying some of the most sensual scenes without explicit sex you can see in a manwa. Basically, this first volume starts with telling the stories of different John's and Martin's, and the trials and tribulations they face together whether as couple or as a family. As usual with this mangaka, the secondary characters are handled with care and the women are real and very much a part of the story without being cloying or crying all the time. This story is highly recommended and I can't wait for the second volume in November:) |
