I work in a used book shop in a small town in Sweden. I often prefer to spend my evenings with a book rather than the TV. I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy, but the occasional non-genre or literary fiction book slips through too as well as crime. I read to relax, to escape and recharge. I read shockingly few books in Swedish, my native language, and I keep telling myself I should read more without much happening.

This manga is one of my absolute favourites. I haven't read it in a long time, and then it was as translated scans I found online. I never thought it would get an official translation, so I was both surprised and happy that Seven Seas picked it up. The second volume has been sitting on my shelf for awhile, but it's time now. I ordered the remaining three volumes earlier today. #Manga #Reading @bookstodon@a.gup.pe

A sweet fairytale, with unhappy children on a traditional quest. Sometimes funny, occasionally cute or a little weird, but always with a melancholy undercurrent, written with grace and compassion.

While I wasn't entirely sold on the first volume of this classic, I am slowly coming around. In the first one, I sometimes found the art a little difficult to make out in the action scenes, but it has either got better or I am better at understanding it. Taking my time on the pages and not rush through them certainly helps. Faces can still be a bit awkward looking, but backgrounds such as castles and landscapes are often gorgeous.
The story is interesting, though I definitely prefer the scenes that doesn't involve fighting, and develop the characters and their relationships. A lot more politics too this time around, something I expect will be a trend for a long while.
I have a the third deluxe edition volume already, and will definitely get to it soon.
