arsenic's review against another edition

Un 1er tome plutôt intrigant qui donne envie de voir la suite même si pour le moment, on ne voit pas trop vers où se dirige l'histoire.

I get that this is going for a strange "mundane life goes on even when the world is ending" kind of vibe, but it would be served better if it made ANY SORT OF SENSE.
Reading this felt like I was off-kilter and inches away from Getting It every other page. These aren't characters, these are weirdos who said weirdo things that make NO damn sense. Could I tell you the difference between the two best friends if they didn't have different hair? Hell no. Why was there a weird almost teacher/student subplot?? Every single theme, character, plot, scene, conversation felt like half of it was missing from the story entirely. It was just ODD.
I did grab the first 3 volumes from my library, but I don't care enough to continue.

Der Manga hat mir leider überhaupt nicht gefallen.
Das Einzige was ich wirklich richtig gut an dem Manga fand, war der Zeichenstil. Der gefiel mir unglaublich gut. Diese kräftigen Striche, die unglaublichen Details und die Dynamik waren großartig. Auch die Art, wie die Gesichter gezeichnet wurden gefiel mir.
Die Handlung allerdings ist so wirr und merkwürdig, dass ich überhaupt nicht verstand, was man mir hier sagen will.
Eine Art großes Ufo schwebt seit einiger Zeit über der Stadt. Die Menschen wehren sich gegen die von Zeit zu Zeit herumfliegenden kleineren Ufos ohne eigentlich zu wissen gegen wen sie da kämpfen. Hauptsächlich geht es um 2 Mädchen, die einfach oft total aus dem Kontext heraus reagieren oder einfach nur zu abgefahren sind. Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass das Ganze philosophisch, metaphorisch sein soll, aber ich bin wohl zu dumm dafür. Mir sagte das Ganze einfach gar nichts.
Leider besitze ich bereits Band 2 und werde diesem noch eine Chance geben.
Inhalt 2,0/5
Zeichenstil 4,6/5
Gesamt 2,0/5

Not exactly what I expected when I read it had mechs and aliens, but trusting I love Inio Asano's work, gave it a go anyway.
Needless to say, I was not disappointed. While there are those sci-fi elements, the whole setting and focus of the plot seems to be the most normal and grounded thing about it. Despite the fact there's an alien invasion and constant tension, this seems to only grab the attention of the general populace sporadically before they return to their day to day life. Shedding a light on the fact that the invasion didn't actually stop the mundane nature of day-to-day life. The teenager escapism that the girls constantly seek isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's a really interesting take on the whole alien invasion thing and worth a read if you like his other work.

Wow, I had a *really* difficult time following the thread on this one. I almost felt like I was reading a book with every other page torn out! Of course the very last page is where it starts getting interesting, but I don't think I'll be continuing this series.
