China is a lovely young woman, the kind of beauty people write songs about or name stars after. She`s as spectacular as Fourth-of-July fireworks and as striking as lightning, and Jim Floyd -- the technical assistant to the crazed Professor Breckenridge -- just got struck! In fact, he`d give China the moon if he could. Odd thing is, he can. So that`s just what he intends to do. Spirit of Wonder is a delightfully touching tale by one of Japan`s most respected manga masters.

China is a woman who runs a restaurant who has two boarders on the second floor of the building: Professor Breckenridge and his young assistant Jim Floyd. The PRofessor and Jim happen to be broke and can't pay the rent. Well, they're not really broke as much as they spend all their money on equipment. Realistic characters and twisted science mixed together. Very funny, very enjoyable. Kind of what H.G. Wells would of made if he had been a beer drinking Japanese manga artist.

One of the most touching stories

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2000

It's a story about spirit of innocence, bashful love, and as the title says -- wonder. Drawn beautifully and written deeply, this book is easliy one of the easiest reads but at the same time it's one the most touching stories I have. There is some nudity, but even that's done tastefully and very innocently with no connotations about sexuality. Everything about it is art. I highly recommend this book!

I love "Spirit of Wonder" !

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2000

This is easily the best Manga I have ever read. I just picked it up one day at my local comics store because of its interesting cover art, and the art is great! The author Kenji Tsuruta has an amazing style of art that is just breathtaking. The story is excellent and very romantic, with a nice scientific twist. I highly recomend the manga for anyone!

One of the best Illustrators in comics today.

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2001

One of the best Illustrators around in comics, Kenji is an underrated artist in need of some much deserved attention. He could easily take on most comic artists of today and mop the floor with them. Beautiful, graceful, meticulous artwork + simple storytelling= a superb graphic novel of such high quality that is seldomly seen in comics today. With more published work, he can easily join the ranks of Herge, Uderzo, Eisner, etc...BUY THIS ONE.
