Family Compo isn't your typical family story!
I enjoyed this manga very much. The beginning of the manga was a bit slow and stereotypical for me, since it follows the whole "Abandoned kid gets rescued by forgotten family member" plot. As soon as it hits the later chapters, alot (and I mean ALOT) of crazy stuff happens that will make you say "WHAT?".
The art reminds me of something that could be featured in Shonen Jump more than Shoujo Beat but it doesn't distract too much.
Yes, the story is about crossdressing females AND males but doesn't follow the "bishounen formula" for the males (which, let's

So I finished ‘Family Compo’ by Hojo Tsukasa, a 14 volume manga from 1997. I’m both sad and happy right now. Very sad it’s over and there isn’t anymore. Especially as the ending is rushed.

Family Compo is a unique manga, its gonna take you a lot of time to find something this strange and interesting at the same time.
Story - 8/10 I'll try making it short and without too much spoilers, the story is about a guy who always wanted to have a normal lovely family, but his mother died and later the same happened with his father, so, that can't be helped he thought, but then appears his mother's sister/(brother) and our main character becomes part of her/(his) not so really normal family. Why not so really normal? Well, would it be normal if you discovered that your aunt ... |
