Synopsis

Meet Pamela, a tarot card reader who helps supernatural beings living in the human world. She'll help anyone, whether they're a love-stricken cat, a vampire spending eternal life running from his one true love, an unattractive waitress looking for the man of her dreams, or even a magician who creates a humanoid doll to serve the woman he loves. Although she is good-natured, there is a deep dark secret that she must deal with before she can move on to the next life.

Looking for OG Goth vibes content? You got it here!

The Tarot Café was the first manwha I ever read, many years ago, when I thought it was just some horror manga, and I was wrong. The characters are interesting, and their designs are amazing. The history develops at a good pace, and the mysterious atmosphere, both given by the café and the characters, is intriguing. You're constantly wondering how things will develop and what type of characters Angela will have to deal with.

At first, you might think that the episodic chapters are all what the story is about, but slowly you fall into the ...

Pamela... Far as I can remember must be the only character from the manga/anime medium to look authentically trad-goth. None other could pull it off right. (The japanese author Mihara Mitsukazu published a couple works that attempted to. Without success.). Goth-ness is often misunderstood, so is Gothicism. But I'll give it that one sole pat on the back for getting one thing right nobody else could. Oh, and the art is lovely. Though I shouldn't have to say this, as anyone already into this visual style will be inclined to agree.

So far from what I could tell this does the typical mushy, mish-mash of story ...
