Stray Dog

Stray Dog by VanRah
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I read this French manga on the internet (http://www.mangamagazine.net/read-man...) because the English version hasn't been published in book form yet and I don't speak French. 10 chapters (about 590 pages) and more to follow.

The story is interesting and I honestly want to read, so why only 2 stars? Well, I'm not a huge fan of the art work. Yes it's beautifully drawn but many of the characters look alike and especially at first I had a hard time knowing who was who. When I reached chapter 9 I had long ago learned to see the difference between persons, but during the big fight between Toru and Tarot I didn't always know who was who. It was confusing.

Continuing on the artwork. I don't know if this is a disadvantage or not, but you can tell this is not Japanese. The style is totally different. It looks more like something influenced by manga than actual manga.
I prefer real manga.

Still I recommend it. It was great fun to read, loads of blood and action, and even a little "romance" (beginning of a romance, they hate each other) (I ship them).
