My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
I’m a Beauty and the Beast fiend and always on the lookout
for anything to feed my addiction. After
seeing a blurb on Surlalune’s blog for this GN, I quickly made my purchase and I was not disappointed. In Act 1, we
were introduced to Beauty, her family and the Beast. Since this was the first volume, there wasn’t
much to the plot just yet than the usual building up the background story. A nice change was that her family was
actually nice and that the townspeople didn’t always liked Beauty. What's cool is that the Beast’s origins might be slightly different from the usual. The drawings are well done and
clean. The panels are easy to
follow. The artwork is more like an
American comic than a manga. And for some odd reason, the pages
are slightly tinted yellow.
Overall, I like it. The only
reason I gave it 4 stars was because I wouldn’t be reading this over and over
again. But it is definitely worth
buying for my BatB collection and supporting the artist. I
can’t wait for Act 2 to come out.
