Before diving into the other series, I’d like to mention briefly that Muddy’s ending was decent. It ended on a cheerful note, which makes it easier to accept its premature ending. I really hope Shou Aimoto will get another chance eventually, and be more lucky.
Now for ‘Psyren’ and ‘Shiki’, possibly with spoilers. (more…)
Definitely spoiler. Read at your own risk.
‘Shiki’ started in the 01/2008 issue of Jump SQ. It’s a manga adaptation of a series of horror novels by Fuyumi Ono. Ryu Fujisaki, author of Houshin Engi, is the one behind the artwork. There are only two chapters out – a prologue and a first chapter – but it’s a monthly series and these two chapters actually amount to around 130 pages of manga. That should be enough to form a first opinion, I feel. But to be honest, I’m not really sure about ‘Shiki’ yet. I will keep reading, because I’m curious what it will develop into, but I can’t say I’m in love.
