Yazawa Ai - Paradise Kiss, vol. 04-05 (Eng. trans.)
Fri, May. 25th, 2007 12:51 pm(Now trying to post this for the 18th time.... LJ, never leave me again!)
This is one of Yazawa's weaker series, and probably her weakest since before Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai, which is when I think she both found her art style and her voice. I am a little happier with it now that I've read the ending; while I can see why some people might dislike it, the end actually made me like the series more.
( Spoilers for series )
So. I'm still not quite sure what to think of the series as a whole; I don't think I'd actually rec it to anyone except a Yazawa completist, but if you've started it, it is worth continuing on to the end.
