miss_h 's review for:
The Tale of Genji: Dreams at Dawn, Volume 1
by Waki Yamato
I don't often read Manga or Graphic Novels, but I picked this off NetGalley for 2 reasons.
1) The cover left me dying to see what kind of art style it had
2) It's the Tale of Genji which I want to read but have no yet aquired
Obviously this is a Manga version of the ancient classic, but I thought it would at least give me a taste of the story and themes.
I definitely did.
So the thing is, Genji the character is a something of a womanizer. If you're going to read his story (in any of its forms) you're going to have to be ok with his Oedipus Complex and sleeping with every attractive woman regardless of her relation to him.
But, the thing is, that's what happens in Greek mythology and that doesn't bother anyone
