Battle Angel Alita Vol. 1 by Yukito Kishiro
5.0
The. ART.
I'm so very, very new to manga and anime. I've seen the movie (I know). I am finally reading. I read this on my computer, which was nice, because I was able to ZOOM and MY GOD. I need this in my hands. The art is stunning. I've always been a texture person and the hatching and line work is just *chef's kiss*. There were a couple of panels I found striking, the ones where she's swinging through the air, somehow the movement shown has the wind whistling in my ears. Then there was a panel where she shakes out her wet hair, and my dog does the same thing and I had to laugh, it was so spot on and just funny.
This story is compelling and I can't wait to finish up the rest of it. It was a delight for the eyes.
