| Comments | First of all let me point out that this is not an artbook! I am reviewing it because the book is a manga that can be easily confused for an artbook due to it’s elaborate presentation. That being said, the artwork is stunning, and for those of you who are familiar with the ‘Video Girl Ai’ series, you’ll have a good idea of what I mean 
This book is a special edition of the M manga, which btw is a story about two young adults discovering their sensual sides with eachother (definitely not a book for minors.) At the back of the book there is a 4 page colour sequence of images entitled ‘A Virgin’ which I can only presume, from viewing the images is a short reflection on a virgin girl ‘discovering herself.’ Again this is not crass or overt. I decided to give this book an average rating in the end, because while it isn’t an artbook, the artwork of the manga is stunning, and the book’s presentation is unique and interesting. |
