Read or Die · review
First, I really enjoyed the OVA. I think that had me in a certain mindset when I picked up the manga to read. I was generally disappointed by the manga for a few things: 1) It was confusing. The flow from panel to panel was not smooth, especially the action scenes (See #3). 2) I couldn't tell who was talking. The speech bubbles often didn't have the little tag to show who was talking. Sometimes it seemed that someone in an entirely different panel was talking, but I had no direction as to who was talking. 3) The action scenes were confusing.Again, I'm comparing it to the ova, but if I hadn't seen the ova, I don't think I would quite get Yomiko's Paper power very well.
The plot was fine, but for me it didn't 'salvage' the manga. I nearly didn't bother finishing it. Too much other better manga to read.
