It's shonen. Don't sweat the art that much. If it's good, yeah! If not, the story's there. Isn't nice art what shojo gives us? I love Saint Seiya & he managed some framable pages, but more often than not...This title offers mythology/folklore.
Excel Saga aside, do we really get that many notes in Viz titles? They've been one of the worse in providing footnotes. One can hope to luck out, but they have trained most of us have learned hope is futile.
No. I was worried there they'd drag out the denial of his future further. I was relieved Rikuo took a stand |

The thing is that these chapters (I have only read the first few chapters) have some really busy artwork to them. They're so busy that I had a hard time figuring out what was going on; there were so many background details everywhere, and the author wasn't very good at distinguishing where the reader's attention should be. In other words, many panels here are quite framable--but they don't function well to tell a story. Rikuo's house is the worst offender, as it's always filled with yokai of every sort. Oftentimes, one in the background would say something, and it becomes difficult to know who said it until several panels later. It doesn't help that much of the speech bubbles have no tails, so anyone in the panel could've said it, or it might have even been offscreen. I've heard that this series does improve drastically around this point, where Rikuo accepts himself as the primary heir, so perhaps I'll keep reading. |
