Hansel and Gretel · review
So i found this little Gem on a whim. I was looking for another Hensel & Gretel Manga i heared about, but instead this one was available and i gave it a shoot. Glad i did, it is really funny if you like dark humour. Some stories are better then others, but they are quick to read anyway. I'd say they range from 6 to 8,5. I enjoyed the first and last story most (Hensel and Gretel and I.N.R.I.) which are the longest ones. The Jesus story in particular goes pretty dark ,so skip it if you are easily offended i guess. I looked it up afterwards and wow, this storyis from Otomo the creator of Akira, which came as a suprise ,but i can now say i enjoy his tragic writing as much as his kind of humour.
Art: strong 8,5 ,very detailed and nice linework.
Characters: 6,5 ,some are pretty blant but others have a certain likeable edge.
Story: 7 ,the very short ones didn't stick as much but the others have some pretty good ideas.
Paneling: 7,5 ,it flows really well.
Enjoyment: 7 ,i'm happy i read it and can recommend it to certain people.
