They're hired by a cop to take out a gang, which they do quickly and efficiently, BUT choose to spare the life of the gang's prostitute, Alex.Īlex is my favorite character from the manga. They do all sorts of tasks around Ergastulum (which I'll just assume is somewhere in Europe, hopefully Italy, with that name). This volume introduces a pair of "handymen" - Worick and Nicolas. Kohske's art is beautiful and sharp, suiting the gritty violence of what is essentially an urban crime drama. It's interesting to read the hard copy because I notice all sorts of little details I hadn't before. This is part of the Viz Signature line and it's a beautiful edition. (Support the things you love!) Also, since the ending of Blade of the Immortal, this has become my favorite manga. I read fan translations of these chapters a few years ago but I wanted to buy the US adaptation because this is one of those titles I never expected to see licensed.

WHY THE HELL DID I WAIT SO LONG TO READ THIS?Īt first glance, this seems to be a typical crime story. Shades of Gray by Brooke McKinley *****5 Stars***** This inventive, powerful debut novel-equal parts action-packed and thought-provoking-belongs completely to its talented author from the first page. It’s a fascinating conceit, reportedly pitched as “ Mulan meets The Song of Achilles,” though it doesn’t seem to draw inspiration directly from either of those works-the skeleton of the story belongs to the real-life Hongwu Emperor, including his humble birth, brief stint as a Buddhist novice, and years as a warrior that lead to an even greater destiny.īut what Parker-Chan makes from the story of Zhu Yuanzhang is both inseparable from its real-life inspiration and wholly original. But as the title suggests, She Who Became the Sun isn’t about a boy named Zhu Yuanzhang who rises from his peasant origins to rule a united China it’s about a girl who does the same. Shelley Parker-Chan’s new novel She Who Became the Sun lays claim to the story of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang. In the case of a story based on a person from history or myth, the discussion broadens: is ownership even a useful concept in that case? If a real-life person’s story fundamentally belongs only to that person, can that story be re-written, re-envisioned, transformed-and in the process, does it evolve into a new story, with a new answer to whose story it has become? Who do stories belong to? Some would say a story belongs to the author who wrote it, and copyright law would back up that interpretation, at least for the first 75 years after publication.
