Bookoplathon – Manga

S obzirom da ne posjedujem nijednu mangu, od prijateljice sam posudila prvi nastavak StarCrafta. Znam da se radi o SFu, a i robot na naslovnici me je privukao.
Svezak se sastoji od 4 različite priče iz svijeta StarCrafta. Povezane su samo tim nekim globalnim činjenicama da ljudi vode galaktičke ratove s vanzemaljskom rasom po imenu Zerg (naravno, puno je kompliciranije, ali igricu nisam igrala pa ne mogu reći ništa više o priči). Svaka priča je posebna, prate različite likove i radnja se odvija na različitim planetima. To mi se zapravo i nije svidjelo. Nisam mogla ništa s ničim povezati, nijedan lik mi se nije stigao svidjeti, već je priča bila gotova. Manga je malog formata, manjeg od A5, ilustracije i slova su mi bili premali. I još crno-bijeli. I to mi je smetalo da se ufuram u radnju. Ali ipak me vuče da čitam dalje pa ću prvom prilikom uzeti drugi svezak. Možda u njemu dobijem nešto više objašnjenja.

The only one I liked was the last one, and it was to be continued in volume two. *sigh* I suppose I'll read the next one, just to see if I get on better. Because they're shorts it's really hard to get into. I feel like I just get a handle on the characters and what's going on, and it's over.

I expected little going into this, and that's what it delivered. The stories were relatively run-of-the-mill plots, transposed into the StarCraft universe, and tailored to showcase units from the games. I had hoped that some of them might have some new perspectives on the world, but alas.

The art style, meanwhile, was often somewhat muddled and unclear, and I often found myself trying to piece together what was happening. At other times, it seemed to be mostly a cavalcade of shots of military hardware in different poses.

I did have a feeling that this was going to be all fan service, and that turned out to be accurate. I had hoped, though, that there would be a bit more originality, and maybe some more interesting and multifaceted characters. Ah, well.
