Up there with Akira, and Slam Dunk.
by Jump Guru
Another great manga, but there is a few flaws: 1) As a first, it's flopped, but the artwork is not altered! Which I think is great. 2) The Japanese sound FX are replaced with English, I would prefer putting a tag at the bottom of the panel saying: JP FX: Viiiiiin (EN: Shoooooom). I consider that altering the artwork. 3) Sometimes they just roughly translate the dialouge, and sometimes add extra exclamation points when they don't need them. Like I said on the I Saw It page, that didn't stop me from enjoying it. I am a Jump fan by the way, see my Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Jump_Guru
