Hmmm, so I had a nice weekend visiting some friends and while I was at it I borrowed a HUGE pile of manga. hehe For real it is like 30 books...
Since I tear through manga and sometimes forget if I read it I thought I would post in my blog.
Last night I started with 11th Cat.
This series is complete at 4 volumes. I had read the first one a few years ago when it was first released, but decided to get back to it when it was further into the series.
I must say that the read was VERY disappointing. NOT GOOD. It starts off interesting. Has some cute elements and characters but is very choppy in the story. Now I can't say if it is how the artist did it or if it is a complete fuckup in printing by the company (IceKunion-a now defunct publisher)
As I went through the books it was just terrible. There was a LOT of jumping in the scenes. It looked like the pages might be out of order. And there were probably pages missing since I found multiple instances of pages repeated in the manga. I was appalled at how bad the mistakes in publishing were. So of course the story suffered. I don't think the jumps in story were completely due to the printing issues. So to me it was a choppy and just not a great story. I think it definitely could have been done better.
Oh well. hehe, that is just 1 series. Got a few more to check out. At least I am glad that I never bought these manga. hehe
Gotta go clean and jobhunt. bbl!
