Slugline: Good even for those allergic to reminders of high school English classes

Though I managed to miss reading The Count of Monte Cristo in my journey through high school I remember ample that it is story of revenge. So there is no real singled-out character to follow through here, but that just may be just the fault of the original material. Not quite certain who is the protagonist here, the Count is a bit alienated from it seems humanity itself while the children of the villains

are a little clueless, naive or distracted to really do that work. that manga is connected to the anime of the same title that was released a few years ago, and shares the same design sensibility, though the full effect is lost in the translation from a full color anime to a black and white manga. 1 is additionally available from Right Stuf, Intl., an online retailer specializing in anime and manga

-Ferdinand

that is a science fiction adaptation, with spaceships and the like, but it is not too terribly updated, with the sense of old Europe, of nobility and tradition overwhelming any other aspect of the story. I did like the character work, the understated bits and expressions, that work is what makes that interesting, not any newness of the story or the actual characters.
