What's up?
- Currently in Japan for an internship and won't be back to the UK until September...

Im so behind in this manga, though i still think Pandora Hearts was better...maybe too soon to compare them, but it had more impact
ReplyDeleteUngh, I am not over PH even years after it finished... I definitely still favour PH -- that series really marked me. But I'm enjoying VnC a lot at the moment, even though I admit to reading it out of a sense of loyalty to MochiJun rather than genuine interest at first. VnC feels more polished and aimed at an older audience, not just because of its slightly erotic themes, but because it's really genuinely complex...... I haven't reread PH in a long time, but I distinctly remember the beginning being a lot simpler: "this is the MC, this is what he wants to do, these are the bad guys, ok let's go!" It did get a lot more complicated towards the end, when MochiJun began to deconstruct everything we'd been lead to believe as the truth and she blurred the line between good / evil, but the presentation of the plot in those first few volumes was very straightforward.
DeleteVnC, however, is on the other side of the spectrum to PH's beginning; it's more like the second half of PH. It isn't so clear, which is why I can totally understand why it can be hard to get into.
Speaking of new mangas, have you tried Tripitaka Torinique from the same mangaka of Kamisama H.? Its cute but more violent than her last manga, but so far im liking it.
DeleteI haven't!! My finger has hovered over the buy button on Amazon a few times, but I'm trying to wait a bit more before I get hooked on it... but the temptationnnnn...
