I look forward to reading more of this manga adaptation of the classic "Count of Monte Cristo" story. Set in an interstellar future, the Count plans slowly to bring pain and humiliation to his enemies. The are is equisitely drawn and the storyline has the right combination of action and dialog.

One note--given the fact that this retelling takes several volumes, I would not recommend it to a teenager who needed to read the "Count of Monte Cristo" for school. ( )
