Sankarea - 'A Zombie comedy romance manga'
Quote:
So far a pretty interesting manga. I'm liking the male lead Furuya, he has a cat like attitude you see what I mean heh. The female lead Sanka is more interesting though especially considering her disturbing life won't say more than that since it's a spoiler. In a span of two chapters you can see the two leads come to care and like each other, after ch 3 don't know where the series will go... will it be a romance comedy or a tragedy romance? maybe both. As you can tell by the artwork it's by manga-ka who did Neko Jump and Umisho. So expect interesting humor and colorful characters. |

It's interesting, alright. I actually disliked both Inu Neko Jump and Umisho. I didn't like her short-haired, perverted, somehow rather annoying lead girls very much at all, but the heroine here is quite, hm, different. It has potential to be both a morbid romantic comedy or an outright tragedy, one way or another, because of her drastic circumstances.
Said circumstances, though, annoyed me. I'm willing to forgive it for now as a necessary pace-setter, but it'd better be resolved soon, preferably bloodily if you know what I mean. There are elements which I didn't care for very much in the manga -- Miss Extraneous Childhood Friend (who unfortunately looks and acts lot like the mangaka's earlier heroines), the annoying best friends (argh, the perverted friend cliché!), and that unfortunate thing about our heroine's life -- but I'm willing to stick this out for at least a few chapters because the romance in the first few chapters was pretty wonderfully done so far. Their romance's not very deep, yet, but it's sweet and plausible with its own Romeo & Juliet charm. |

Well the fact Rea's father accidentally killed her and is hinted to be pedophile taking pictures of her sets him as the main antagonist of this story.
Its dark that Rea tried to commit suicide by poison just to escape her father locking her up from the outside world. Even her father ordering Furuya to be castrated if found makes him a mentally unhealthy person. Oh anybody noticed Furuya's dad eating those poisonous leaves? There more to that guy than we think. |

I'm really liking it so far. Hopefully it can balance out everything well enough.
Edit: Chapter 4 is scanlated. I haven't seen a plot like this before, so this is really interesting me. Aside from that, SHE'S SO CUTE GAHHHHHHH! This is a really talented artist. Last edited by OceanBlue; 2010-03-17 at 20:31. |

Haha, the story amuses me so far. It's really interesting. Last time I've seen an undead chick that was on the good side was Makina from Shikabane Hime and that wasn't even a comedy. Well, I have hopes for this so I'll stick reading.

Well it looks like she hasn't lost all of her sense of touch in a certain area implied in pg 18.
Anyways I think the leaves will put her close to normal 'alive' self but still be dead. The page covered in stained could play a part in reviving her though. Last edited by ZODDGUTS; 2010-03-18 at 10:55. |
