Comments: Reviewed By: MaRy Volumes Read: 10 Story and Plotline: 5/5 :Another mind-twisting, apocalyptic, and intricate story by CLAMP. It's a very interesting adventure story that's just filled with surprises. The story moves accordingly and, as always, revealing every single detail and mystery at the end. Art: 5/5 :The facial is a lot heavier in detail compared other works like Cardcaptor Sakura, but none the less the same in essence. The art is very beautiful and elegant, even though it gets a little gory sometimes. Extra: --- Overall Score: 5/5 >>>>>S Stigma Creator: Kazuya Minekura Total # Volumes: 1 Total Page #: ~140 Rating: Action/Adventure Rating: Older Teen (16+) Brief Summary: Stork wakes up one day naked and beat up in a pile of garbage with no memory of what happened. He's a rather grim guy that just wanders around until he meets a little boy named Tit. Tit is searching for birds. But the sky have been long tainted ash gray and birds have already considered extinct. But something Tit's enthusiastic smile that just makes Stork's heart lighten and so starts their journey in search of birds and a never ending blue sky. Comments: Reviewed By: MaRy Volumes Read: 1 Story and Plotline: 4/5 :A very confusing one I might add, but interestingly enough to keep you hooked on to read on to the next chapter. The overall feeling is that it's short but a strong impact comes from it's simplicity. While reading, I couldn't help myself to think the story was somewhat sweet and mutter "aww"s in my head now and then. Art: 5/5 :All color pages, baby! You don't just admire the beautiful art in color but there's a bigger impact that comes from the colored pages. It's subtle but you you feel how the mood changes when the skies are gray compared to the brighter yellow mood when Tit is there. Speech bubbles are always drawn in for speech. It's sometimes incorporated into narration which is pretty unique. Extra: --- Overall Score: 4/5 |
