If I could be quite honest, the fact that there are no reviews here is understandable, since I think the volume was only published in Brazil, by itself, it's pretty bad, and it's hard to talk about these stories. My intention here is to give you some reasons why you shouldn't spend your time or money on this work, given how uninteresting it is, and apparently rushed, or by an author who... Let's get to the facts.
In short, this manga sucks. In the end, it is clearly understandable that this must have been one of the first works of an author, but even so this
...
is far from being a justification for the fact that each story seems to have been invented in an interval of three minutes each, and with a narrative. lazy and not intriguing.
In the volume, there are exactly five very divergent stories in relation to their characters, themes, messages and narratives. All four of which are horrible and it's not hard to explain why. By themselves, they start with uninteresting themes, like a powerless protagonist in a family of heroes who save the world (?). It's a shallow story, without salt, made in a few minutes, and that ends without any purpose, since it doesn't send any kind of interesting message, it doesn't hold you to the narrative of the events and much less generates some interest from the reader for the characters, who also are completely forgettable.
Precisely, all these words are a good example of the whole book. Uninteresting stories, without any intriguing message, completely forgettable characters, added to a narrative that in no way holds you back.
The one-shot's only salvation here would be the penultimate story, titled “coyote”. She does start well, being the only one where you can feel any empathy whatsoever for the situation of the characters, since the protagonist has her job in a brothel, providing sexual services, and talking to one of her clients, she comments on her life. difficult at home and why she is there. This is a good example of a story that starts well, which already generates an interesting development in the protagonist, where you feel empathy for her situation, and having an outcome that truly expresses some message.
In short, the book is horrible. Of course, the quality of the pages and the cover properly equate to the price charged, but the content within the pages sucks, and it's certainly not worth your time.
