Sorry about not being able to post anything yesterday. But i have some good news, Yesterday i went to Book-off in Canada. I was able to pick a new series that i havent really read before. That is Sakura Taisen. First impression for me was that the art was very clean. The plot of the series is very interesting as well. A short series, but a well constructed series.
Based off a video game, the series uses steambot type robots, unlike gundams or other “human” looking robots, this series does not use those overused robots. Its got a very simple constructions and the detail is very good.
Although the cover images are tokyopop english version of Sakura Taisen, i got the Japanese version.
A great series i think everyone will enjoy.
Sorry again for the short update and not being able to post anything yesterday.
