Flavor Girls
by Loïc Locatelli-Kournwsky
adventurous
fast-paced
Love the artwork. I can see the French and Japanese stylistic influences – a little bit of bande dessinée, a little bit of manga... And Locatelli-Kournwsky’s knack for shape and silhouette is uplifted by de Santiago’s vibrant colours.
The fight scenes are slightly hard to follow, but that moment where Troezen yeets a makeshift weapon and it flies out of the confines of the panel, seemingly towards the reader... that was very cool.
There are some interesting concepts, like magical girls being coopted by the state; the image of Naoko in her leotard and tights being deployed from a military aircraft – ugh! So good.
It’s really promising! This volume is only the introduction, laying the groundwork for (hopefully many) future instalments. I’m hungry for more.
