Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Adult/High School–Two sorceresses, up-and-coming heroine Lina Inverse and her foil, Naga the White Serpent, fight both villains and one another in a series of madcap manga short stories. Characterized by high action and goofy humor, the narratives are set in a world in which dialogue is screamed, movements are hyperkinetic, and buxom sorceresses wear G-strings and capes. Not much time is spent on character development and plot; fighting, spell casting, and explosions are the primary concern. (The stories move so quickly that at times it seems like whole pages are missing.) The book is presented in the original "right-to-left" format; some readers may enjoy the increased authenticity, while others may find it distracting. Despite their flaws, these slight stories will appeal to some fans of the genre. –Douglas P. Davey, Halton Hills Public Libraries, Ontario, Canada

This review is from: Slayers Special: Spellbound (Paperback)
Compared to its predecessor, "Lesser of Two Evils," "Slayers Special: Spellbound" was a disappointment. The artwork is a notably more jumbled -- sometimes to the point of incoherent -- as many of the micro-episodes are more action-oriented (a carriage race, for example) which, in my opinion, doesn't flow particularly well on a manga page. They also (poorly) copied the Slayers season 1 episode introducing Prince Phil. This book isn't without merit -- the first 3 micro-episodes are quite well-done and consistent with the Slayers Special flow of silly action. Unfortunately, though, there are a total of 7 episodes in the book.
