The Umbrella Academy by way of Moebius. Interested to see where this goes, and since this series is only four volumes I shouldn't have too much trouble finishing it.

The art style was interesting and the plot was fun, but I didn't feel like the story was going anywhere. It was also rather confusing because everyone is named after a number.

Have you felt like you are too dumb to understand a book? This manga was exactly that.

Truly a work of art!! Pretty confusing in the beginning because half the characters are named #1 through #10 and you have to remember which is which. If you like Tekkonkinkreet or Black & White by the same author u will love this.

Difficult to put into words what I feel about this. I bought it on a whim because the cover was pretty. It's completely surreal and difficult to follow but I found myself more and more intrigued. I will be picking up volume 2 at some point.

This literally made no sense and I have no interest in continuing the series. Reminds me of why I didn't care too much for Cats of the Louvre.

So fucking trippy. The art was odd. I don’t know. I need to mull this one over.
