This time, a manga by an established author. Hajime Kazu has been a mangaka for over ten years and has already published series in Weekly Jump, although I don’t think any of his her manga were ever published in the west.
[Edit: I have been informed that Hajime Kazu is female. Wikipedia agrees. I can't believe she'd blame me for getting confused by the name, though...]
‘Luck Stealer’ currently running in Jump SQ (so it’s a monthly series). A oneshot was published in Jump the Revolution in 2005, and another (?) in the Akamaru Jump (winter edition) that year. I did not read the Akamaru Jump oneshot, but I read the JtR oneshot. Since both the oneshot and the two chapters tell independent episodes, I won’t really talk about their plot here anyway, but only speak of the premise. Which I like. (more…)
