Unlock Now Mai: The Psychic Girl, Book 1 (Mai: The Psychic Girl, #1) By Kazuya Kudo Released Through Publication

art an story, so one of my favorites! An okay read but that definitely feels dated, It's interesting to note how different manga storytelling is compared to the past, The writing and plot here are a bit clunky and a tad childish, There is a lack of smoothness in the way the story is told,

Drawing side, this is clearly an earlier work of Ryoichi Ikegami, He's come a long way since then, The backgrounds are not particularly clear and sometimes it's hard to understand what is happening when Mai uses her powers, However, his drawing of people is still, as ever, on point, Mai's daddy is just chef's kiss Selain Mai, kalau tidak salah waktu itu Misurind juga nerbitin Yawaranya Naoki Urasawa, tapi cuma beberapa jilid saja.
Sesudah itu kayaknya nggak nerbitin manga lagi deh, Reread for me still a classic of it's genre! ThrowbackThursday Back in the 's, I used to write comic book reviews for the website of a nowdefunct comic book retailer called Rockem Sockem Comics.

From the Julyedition with a theme of "Manga Month!":

INTRODUCTION

It's manga month!

Viz Communications has been America's major importer/translator of Japanese comics for about a decade now.
Eight months ago, Viz launched one of its boldest titles, PULP: MANGA FOR GROWNUPS, As the title suggests, PULP is an anthology which features adultoriented stories: more complex and more sexual than your standard manga imports, Alert: You're going to see a plethora of nudity and sexual content warnings in this month's column, Obvious whiteouts and obscuring speed lines lightly censor most stories, but this is pretty racy stuff, folks,

I like the idea behind PULP, though the execution has been a little sloppy, In my reviews below, I'll try not to punish the Japanese creators by remarking upon the barely adequate lettering and extremely stiff dialogue imposed upon their work by Viz's production staff and team of translators, but I want my audience to be aware that PULP does not contain the topoftheline Japanese to American adaptation seen in the likes of LONE WOLF AND CUB or even MAI, THE PSYCHIC GIRL which is reviewed below.
I hope the quality of PULP's adaptations improve, but I am happy to have access to the material regardless,

This month, Viz is collecting several of the more popular serials from PULP into trade paperback format, If you have a little money left in your budget after buying all of DC Comics,,issues, here a few collections you might want to consider.


FROM THE BACKLIST

MAI, THE PSYCHIC GIRL VolumesViz Communications

Hey, guys, and I know most of you are guys don't let the title throw you off.
Sure, MAI, THE PSYCHIC GIRL is about a teenage girl with psychic powers, No, she doesn't have large breasts, No, she's not a "bad girl, " As a matter of fact, she's a good girl in a good book,

MAI, THE PSYCHIC GIRL is a good, oldfashioned adventure tale about a girl who discovers she has telekinetic powers and must confront the agencies and villains which try to capture, manipulate, and destroy her.
If you've read Stephen King's "Firestarter" you already know the gist of MAI, THE PSYCHIC GIRL,

What makes MAI, THE PSYCHIC GIRL unique and desirable is the magnificent art of Ryoichi Ikegami and the solid script by Kazuya Kudo with translation by veteran comics scribe James D.
Hudnall and Satoru Fujii. While Mai is an interesting character in her own right, her adventures are made more thrilling by the high caliber opponents she must face, especially her coldblooded but enthralling nemesis, the German psychic girl named Turm Garten.


MAI, THE PSYCHIC GIRL does contain a significant amount of nudity, but no sexual situations, Indeed, Mai's clothes are torn during a climactic battle with some psychic boys and she spends the last couple

of chapters topless, I have mixed emotions about the repeated nude scenes of the adolescent heroine, For the most part, they are unnecessary, though tastefully executed, The topless finale is especially handled well and actually serves the plot, Still, the nudity seems exploitive and borders on pandering to pedophiles, While the target audience in Japan for MAI, THE PSYCHIC GIRL was teenage girls, here in America many parents would probably find it unsuitable for their children based on the excessive nudity.
I give MAI, THE PSYCHIC GIRL leeway on this issue as it is a drawn fiction, If this were a movie or done in still pictures featuring a real adolescent girl I'm sure there would be justified outrage at its release.


Grade: B Ini dulu diterbitin di sini, sebanyakvolume oleh penerbit yang kemudian kena bredel, dan diterjemahkan bukan dari versi Jepangnya tapi dari versi bhs.
Inggris Viz. Dan mungkin janganjangan ini manga pertama yang aku baca dulu

Ceritanya seru banget, Mai yang punya kemampuan psikokinesis dikejarkejar oleh organisasi jahat Tema 'sederhanabinudahbanyakkepake' pun tetep bisa menarik tergantung penceritaannya.
Nilai kurangnya cuma di editan, yang banyak dijumpai di komikkomik lawas, Apalagi karena ini diterjemahkan dari versi bhs, Inggris, sfxnya hampir semua dibiarkan begitu aja dengan bunyi "vroomm", "bwoosh", "munch", dan lainnya Kanji Name: sitelink 工藤 かずや Kanji Name: sitelink 工藤 かずや sitelink,
