Review: Recorder and Randsell by Meme Higashiya

2 stars! ** 


Author:

Title: Recorder and Randsell (volume 1)



Atsumi, a highschool sophomore, and a fifth grader Atsushi aren't your normal, stereotypical siblings.

Atsumi is so tiny that she's often mistaken for a much younger kid and Atsushi is so tall that everyone thinks he's an adult.

Many misunderstandings happen because of this. He's often stopped by the police, because they think he's abducting a little kids.

Well. Maybe not so many. Because this "joke" that he's being arrested is in every chapter (and they are only couple of pages long), for the same reason over and over again.

Yeah. The first time it was quite funny. The second time it was okay. But the third? Not so much.

Also the layout was weird. It wasn't like it is in manga or manhwa. There were two columns on the page and each had to be read from the top to the bottom and you head to start from the left one.

Review: Muirwood: The Lost Abbey by Jeff Wheeler

2 stars! **


Author: Jeff Wheeler

Title:   Muirwood: The Lost Abbey



I chose to read this one because I loved the cover - the coloring, the atmospehere, everything. I didn't even read what it is about. And when I opened it, what was isnside was nothing like I expected. I thought it will be magical, that I'll be left breathless.

But I wasn't. Every page was in colour and maybe that's the reason why it was so hazy.

The first couple of pages I was so confused, because it just didn't make any sense. That was my own fault. It's read from right to left and I read it like manga, so of course it didn't make any sense (it was a tiny bit better after I read it the correct way, but no by much).

Lady Maia is a princess, but was imprisoned by her own father and now he sent her on a mission with a scary scarred man as an escort and protector. She also rules some sort of magical power.

I read only the part and probably won't read the rest. Mostly because of the art and the way the story was told. There were basically no dialogues and the describtions were too short and dry.
