A review by erat
Battle Angel Alita Complete Collection by Yukito Kishiro

4.0

My first manga book! Not bad, not bad. I was told to start with this book because the series has an end (otherwise, I'd be committing to a lifetime of endless manga sequels, something that I guess turns some folks off to manga altogether). I'll go ahead and label this as slightly above young adult but not full bore adult in nature. The illustration style was actually quite good and very imaginative, and the story was unique if not overly challenging. All in all, a cool, easy introduction to manga. I'll definitely at least move on to #2 and see if the series is worth continuing.

Oh, and unlike other manga books, this one reads left to right. I thought I'd throw that in. I don't know how the whole right to left reading thing will hit me, but I'm about to find out.
