ARE YOU STILL MY GIRLFRIEND?,
By Sesho "www.sesho.libsyn.com" (Pasadena, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rahxephon, Vol. 2 (RahXephon (viz)) (Paperback)
Ayato still hasn't decided where his allegiance truly lies: His now discredited home of Tokyo Jupiter where his friends and mom still reside, or with Terra and the rest of the Earth. Rising above all these conflicts is the overwhelming desire to protect Reika, his adopted sister. When his girlfriend Hiroko shows up in a group of Tokyo Jupiter refugees, quite a strain is put on Ayato and Reika's relationship. When Reika is struck down by a mysterious ailment, Ayato learns that the information that can save her can only be found in Tokyo Jupiter. But Terra isn't just going to let him cakewalk away and return Mu's ultimate weapon, Rahxephon!
While Volume 1 of this manga adaptation focused a bit too much on fanservice, Volume 2 takes all the good elements of the anime and puts them into a format that also helps you understand the anime a little better. For example, to me the Mu's origins were never really explained in my mind, but here we do get a bit more background on where they came from, and also Ayato's true nature. While the storyline is a bit different here, I had no problem reconciling it with the anime. In fact, I enjoyed it just the same. While Momose's art is still a bit unimaginative, I guess I became used to it and it didn't bother me as much as Volume 1. The story is what made it great.
