Today's post is on MARS volume 7
by Fuyumi Soryo. It is the seventh in the series and is published by
Tokyopop. The cover has Rei on it looking cool. The intended reader
is young adult women but with all the drama and angst adults can get
a kick out of it too. There is no sex, some mild language, and some
violence in this book. The story is told from Kira's perspective.
There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From
the back of the book-
'Til Death Do Us Part
Kira
and Rei knew their love was to die for... but they never dreamed it
could be deadly! Masao is the new guy at school with a criminal past-
and now he's decided to direct his violent temper towards Kira. When
Kira's mother is unexpectedly hospitalized, Rei and Harumi offer
their undying support. Masao, who hates seeing Rei's sensitive side,
is outraged, and he attempts to put Kira out of the picture forever!
As murderous plots are hatched and hidden secrets revealed, Kira and
Rei must fight for each other- and for their lives.
Review-
So the crazy kid Masao thinks that if Kira was gone then Rei would
be more like him. He almost gets himself killed more than once in
this volume. But the really interesting thing is what he knows about
Kira. We get to see something in flashbacks that happened to Kira but
no real idea until the last two pages when she freaks out on Rei. I
find the drama very interesting because I think that most teenagers
do not know really too much about stalking or the other scary things that can happen but
they make good drama. So this is almost a first introduction to this
kind of behavior, now I could be wrong, just going off my own teenage
years and what little I knew about others then. The art again has some
moments of real beauty and they happened when the violence was at the
worst. The contrast was good and added more interest to the scene.
I
give this volume a Five out of Five. I get nothing for my review and
I bought this manga with my own money.
