Review: All I can say is GIVE ME MORE! This is one of the best examples of werewolf fiction, but I have to ask, where is the rest of the series? I mean this can't be it...Can it?

Summary: Where's the rest?
Review: One of the greatest manga books I've read in a long time. Diverse characters, historic arcs and a real feeling of mytique. And even a naked chick for those who are shallow enough not to care about that.

But where's the rest? This can't be all, can it?

Summary: Great Manga
Review: This is one of the better graphic novels I've ever read, and one of the best werewolf novels (even though the main character is actually a werelion, not a werewolf). Each new plot development is suprising, and yet at the same time makes perfect sense- if people who turn into animals really existed in the modern world, how would they behave? This book gives some realistic, yet unexpected, answers. Nobody is a complete good guy or bad guy- every character is a complex figure, and even the bad guys have some very good reasons for what they do. Leo is an innocent caught in the midst of it all, but nothing like the "helpless killer" stereotype of American werewolf movies- he is a person in control of his own powers, trying to decide what to do with his life now that so much has changed. The only thing that struck me as weird was that werewolf/squirrel thing that was like a cross between a wolf and a flying squirrel- it just didn't seem possible that such a bulky thing should glide around like that. Also, the artist draws Leo's were-form in some odd ways sometimes- in certain scenes, he looks more like a tiger, in certain scenes he looks more wolfish, and in only a few scenes does he fully look like a lion, though the dialogue makes it clear that he is a lion. There is no graphic novel continuation, but there are more comic books continuing from the point where the graphic novel ended.
