Spirit of Wonder holds true to it's name. Kenji Tsurutas art style is most defniatly it's strongest merit ,but it is not it's only one. The story takes place in Bristol ,England, in the early 20th century. Our main characters are of course the charming `little Miss China´ ,her love interest Jim Floyd, the flower lady Liilly as well as the `mad´ scientist Breckenridge. There are 3 storys about their daily life at Miss China's Restaurant , where Breckenridge and Jim are tendents of the upper floor, devising all kind's of scientific experiments. Some of them with astounishing resaullt's like being able to carve a birthday messagefor Miss China into the moon.
All of these main plot lines are being sweetened by Miss Chinas charming and bashful actions and gestures. She will cook and clean after you but you better be paying her , her dues, espacially rent ;) . She also kicks a lot of butt in this, literally.
The art is great as all of the authors work is. In fact it's some of my very favorite. He has a particullar style when drawing , especially when drawing women that just sooth's my soul.
He takes ages to finish a Manga, and it really always shows just how much effort went in.
It's a quick read and i can't recommend it enough.
