Summary: Surprisingly enjoyable!
Review: I read various comics and graphic novels, and occasionally like to try something under the radar. This book hasn't garnered much attention it seems, but it's really funny in its own charming way.
There's something odd, yet amusing, about a "southern" Asian woman with a thick country drawl trying to fit in with the big-city crowd. For example, the first thing she says in the entire book is, "Heba! Y'all kin call me Haruo!" There are no giant robots, demons from hell, or graphic sword fights, yet it's crazy as hell because the characters themselves are so bizarre. Both the artwork and writing make it easy to follow along and enjoy this quirky adventure of our main character, Haruo.
Simply put, the book is strange, yet adorable. It's fun to read, and easy to share with with your girlfriend, even if she's not into anime or graphic-novels.
Dark Horse Comics has released two volumes so far, and the third was supposed to be out by now, but Dark Horse has a sketchy record of releasing things on time, so that's the only downside to reading this series. Otherwise, I recommend reading this if you just want an amusing story to read, especially if you have a thing for pretty brunettes.
