A manga about a mysterious girl who offers people a chance to revive someone if they kill three people.
We’ve discussed this on an episode.
This series is very strange. Not because of it’s story or anything but because of the process in which Shinji Inamitsu drew it.
The entire series was created through CG artwork. While that’s not abnormal for modern manga artists, it’s very obvious that Inamitsu took 3D models and posed them in different positions to create each panel. It makes this manga actually looks like a Playstation 3 game cutscene or something.
I know Inamitsu is capable of drawing in a traditional style because of his current series Seishokuki. I would really like to find out why he decided to use this process to do his art for this book.
Currently available in English on Crunchyroll.
