A review by pivic
世界の終わりと夜明け前 Before Dawn and the End of the World by Inio Asano, 浅野いにお

3.0

I read this without any knowledge of the Japanese language. And yes, this is a book written in Kanji. Hence, I can only review the drawings and how the lettering hits me. It was a quite intense feeling, somehow trying to read the story simply from the characters' faces, the emotions rolling throughout the book: extraterrestrials, sex, tears, pop-manga teens, and an inkling that this book is drawn by the same guy who did "Death Note", which is one of my favourite comics. All in all: strange, weird and fun.
