Jiu Jiu, Vol. 1 door Touya Tobina
This manga is about a gril from a demon hunting ninja clan that is tasked with raising up two male were-dogs from the time they are puppies/toddlers. After having lost her older broter, she fears getting too close to them and experiencing another heartbreak. They desperately want to please their "master", as any good dog should, but things become quite awkward when they grow into teenage boys and decide to accompany her to school. While I like the artwork, I'm not sure that I care for the premise. In just a couple of years time the two male characters go from being toddlers/puppies to being the same age as the main character and possible romantic interests.… (meer)
A supernatural manga fun and tortured.
Indeed, there are several entries to this reading. One is fun with the young wolf cubs: Snow and Night who grew up and became two handsome young men. Despite their physical appearances similar to those of teenagers, they are still children who adore to plan many malicious mischief. They are also undisciplined and do not listen much to their mistress, Takamichi.
Then, there is the relationship with death. The changes caused by the pain, suffering and the loss of a loved one. With Takamichi, the author approaches the difficulty of grief. The guilt for staying alive while the other is dead.
Some subjects which are quite heavy offset by the antics and clowning of the wolves.
In addition, topics such as loneliness, withdrawal, exclusion, fear of taking care and bonding with someone are also discussed with the help of the vampire and ghost characters. The mixture is quite interesting and moving.
Of course, since this is a manga, there are a few scenes a little crazy to ease the reading.
Monsters and fighting scenes appear too, since it is in the supernatural genre.
As for the drawings, they are fairly simple with fine lines. Clean bubbles clean, without too much detail.
An interesting manga that I wait impatiently to see more.
