kristid's review against another edition

This is the second volume in the Dark-Hunter manga... obviously since it has "volume 2" on the cover!
These manga's are based on the paranormal romance series of the same name and by the same author. I don't have much to say about it, except that is was fun. I'll probably continue to read the series, they aren't all that bad. Kinda neat. A lot different from my normal reads.
I'm not exactly all that sure how to feel about a manga in general. This is the only series I've ever read, so I'm not even sure what a "good" manga is. There isn't a deep connection with characters since basically the writing is completely composed of dialogue. It's hard to get into the mind of the character see what makes them tick, what makes them likable or relatable. It's also different to shift from taking the authors words and depicting my own visualizations, to having the actual images right there in front of me, showing me the story.
Overall, I think I might enjoy reading the actual novel over the manga itself, but I still find the manga series enjoyable and different. I just enjoy a closeness to the characters that I think is hard to reach when the novel is in manga format.
Instead of rating individual elements, I'll just be giving an overall rating.

Why is Simi on the cover? She's not in the book.
Other than that, see review of volume 1.

Mini-Manga-Review Pt. 2:
True facts, Nick's character get's a complete redesign from the first volume in the series. In the original books, he's a streetwise, French Cajun, little punk. In the first manga he looks something like this...
It's very 90s, but at least his character looks somewhat similar to the original description. By the end of this book though, someone must have said to the artist that in later volumes Nick SPOILERS SPOILING SPOLIERPOO. So Campos scrapped the original cheesy design for something more BISHOUNEN, and thus we now have a Nick that looks like a male host.
.
And yet, I still love these books in the same crackilicious way I love the rest of this series!

Actual rating: 3.5 stars
Commenting on the cover: WTF?!
What's wrong you might ask? Let me offer you a list:
--Ash's hair is supposed to be GREEN; it's specifically mentioned IN THE STORY!!!
--Why is Simi on the cover? She hasn't even been introduced in the series yet.
--There's discrepancies between the Nick on the cover and the Nick in the story; the Nick on this cover matches the Nick in [b:The Dark-Hunters, Vol. 1|6599344|The Dark-Hunters, Vol. 1 (Dark-Hunter Manga, #1)|Sherrilyn Kenyon|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1441294073s/6599344.jpg|6580741]. Why wasn't there consistency?
--Could we maybe have put Amanda on the cover instead of Artemis since Amanda's the main heroine and Artemis is basically only referred to? She only shows up at the very end of the book...
