They Were 11! · review

9 /10

Just another typical shoujo manga.. no, wait. That was what I thought before reading it. Now I can say that this is one of the most unique shoujo mangas I've read. This fairly unknown and underrated oneshot is on the same level with famous oneshots like Hotel, Island and Omoide Emanon. To me, this is better than any of those. Every self-respecting oneshot-fan should prioritize this manga now. How much can 2 chapters long manga (or any manga in general) offer to its reader anyway ? As much as They were 11 can, I tell you. What happens when there should be 10 people, who don'tknow each others, in spaceship but there is 11 ? How can they trust each others, how can they found out who is this extra member and what does this all mean ? Thats what this story is all about. Drama, love, mystery, comedy, meaningful message, they are all here.

So many characters in this short manga. They all are there on purpose, everyone is unique, likeable and memorable. They are not just drawnings on the paper, they have realistic personality. Their behaviour fits for normal human in the same situation.

Art style is also very unique. This manga was made in 1975 and I don't have that much experience about art style back then. I love the way characters are drawn.Their expressions and feelings reach the reader so the author is indeed a talented person. Backgrounds are made with simple and soft lines. I do like it and I would give it a score of 8.5/10.

Enjoyment is on the top. I love unique stories and when they are as much success as this, then its impossible for not to enjoy this manga for the fullest.
