Shuri Shiozu

I finished this odd little series in one afternoon. Although volume one started out quite strongly I quickly lost track of the characters in volumes two and three. This last volume was a bit less overwhelming as it centered mostly on Mitsuo (main character who sees and channels spirits), Hasnuma (Mitsuo's classmate/protector/crush) and Mikuni (the rather perverted shinto priest). This does have a parental advisory which I assume is due to the subject matter as graphically, nothing really is shown. My main complaint with this was that after four volumes the ending seemed to be a bit of a tease.

Overall this was a relatively entertaining series certainly worth a few giggles. I might have to do a re-read because if I can keep up the characters and storylines a second time around I think I'll probably like it better.… (meer)
