Mao, Vol. 1 by Rumiko Takahashi

3.0

'Ramna 1/2' was my introduction to manga as a kid in the '90s, and since reading the recent reprints of the dark, unfortunately short, folk horror 'Mermaid Saga' this year, I think maybe I had too high expectations for what seemed to be a slower-paced, antiquarian, supernatural series. All these things apply, although it isn't the serious or dark route I was hoping Rumiko Takahashi would settle into in her 60s. I still plan on keeping up with it though.
