Mars v.1 by Fuyumi Soryo – 200 pages
The beginning of an odd-couple romance, bad-boy motorcycle
racer Rei starts talking to a quiet artistic girl, Kira, when he sees one of
her beautiful drawings. Rei promises to
protect Kira, and as they start to learn about each other, Kira realizes she
judged him harshly by his appearance at first, and she starts to experience new
feelings, including courage. Despite Rei
pushing a friend with a long-standing crush on Kira her way and the jealous
bullying of Kira by other girls who want Rei’s attention, they slowly start to
fall for each other without realizing what’s happening. This manga hooked me quickly with its
excellent characters and plot, and made me want to know the stories behind
these two damaged people. The artwork is
mostly linear, with slight use of black and tone, and the faces of the
characters are drawn to be very beautiful.
There are 15 volumes in the series, and I’m hoping each one is as good
as the first.
