I got the review of this Mars Manga (Comics style)
Counterpart of the series in J Fan Manga
Artist: Fuyumi Soryo
Author of review: Karen D.
Date review submitted: June 10, 2003
I haven't read a more romantic manga in my life. Mars is beautiful, and a true masterpiece.
The story starts off with a girl named Kira who's sketching drawings at the park. Suddenly, this guy, Rei, goes up to her and asks for direction to a hospital. She quickly draws the direction for him on a piece of paper, without noticing that on the back is a sketch of a mother and a child. She leaves quickly after because she's shy and doesn't talk to guys. Later at school, who else buy Rei show's up at Kira's class. He sits next to her, and in her head she doesn't think he would remember her. Instead, he DOES notice her and starts whispering to her to get her attention. Since she's so shy, she tries to ignore him so she won't get in trouble. Rei gently pulls her braided hair and says "Hey, I'm talking to you." Impossible to believe, but Rei saved the paper she gave him because of the picture on the back. Rei finds the picture to be a symbol reflecting his own life.
From there on, the romance between Kira and Rei just gets bigger and bigger. Their first kiss is a scene to remember. There's action, racing, suspense, a lot of drama and love, and some comedy here and there. Even without the comedy, this manga would do just fine since it's a definite page-turner. The art is also just as beautiful as the story. It's very detailed in every single line, and the facial expressions are so powerful that it will have you laughing when they're laughing and crying when they're crying. This manga is good to share with your non-manga friends; I'm sure they'll love it.
Overall Rating: 9
