Junko Mizuno's Cinderella by Junko Mizuno

2.0

This one was weird, and not in the way I like. I don't really even know what to say about the plot. The whole story was really hard to follow and the writing was... not good. I'm not sure if this was a translation, but that's what I'm going to blame the bad writing on.

Things jump around without any explanation, and the whole zombie thing in the first few pages made no sense because I guess it wasn't supposed to? This also is not for kids, definitely a book for a mature audience, so I can't say the ADHD type story line was meant for a younger audience.

I enjoyed the art though. It was actually pretty great contemporary art, in a Juxtapoz way. I didn't hate this book, it was just tough to get through because it was so ridiculous. Gave me a bit of a headache trying to finish it in one sitting. Like a lot of times the ridiculousness seemed to be for simple, unashamed shock factor, and other times just a "look how weird I'm being" type panel series. It wasn't weird in a smart way, if that makes sense. Or, I'm just not hip enough to appreciate it. Giving it 3 stars for the art and originality (I guess that's what you'd call it). In one word, this book was absurd.

A few panels for your amusement.
