--- Zig * Zag 1-9 ---
Plot: Ok
Gambar: Ok
Penokohan: Ok

Saya membaca komik ini setelah membaca Unrequited Venus, berharap sesuatu yang lebih dan lebih lagi dari Unrequited Venus (siapa tahu saya ternyata cocok dengan semua komik Nakaji sensei) (●´∀｀●).
Tapi nyatanya, membaca Zig * Zag setelah Unrequited Venus?
...Pilihan yang salah.
Makin salah karena saya terlalu suka dengan Venus bertepuk sebelah tangan itu.



Seperti biasa, penceritaan ala Nakaji sensei begitu ringan menyenangkan. Tapi karena saya sudah membaca Unrequited Venus, saya menjadi terbiasa dengan humornya (yang lagi-lagi tidak semanis di Unrequited Venus). Malah, sebenarnya saya rada jengkel dengan sifat tokoh-tokohnya yang notabene mirip-mirip dengan Unrequited Venus (atau nyaris versi yang lebih menjengkelkan). Syukurlah makin saya membacanya, makin saya sadar perbedaannya dan mulai menghargai dan terikut arus cerita Zig * Zag (fufu^^).


Favorit saya di komik ini... tentu saja Suwa bon!! >////<

Tapi... ada beberapa ketidak puasan sih, apalagi dengan endingnya (mungkin cuma saya haha).
Untuk mereka yang tidak pernah membaca karya Nakaji sensei atau tidak pernah membaca Unrequited Venus, saya rasa akan menikmati Zig * Zag ini lebih daripada saya XD.

I really liked this volume. Some of the chibi faces made LOL. Of course you tell that there are going to be pairings. I would like one of them to be Taiyou and Kenbuchi together they crack me up with her always calling him squirt, (but there is another girl that Taiyou like Marika so he could end up with her). His friend Tatsuki also made me laugh. The way he chases down Mei and then Kenbuchi always stops him and they get into fights and he calls her a tomboy. (Hmm that could be a different pairing Kenbuchi and Tatsuki). Then there is Mei who is always being chased by Tatsuki and she is afraid of Sonoh. Of course Sonoh is one of my favorite types in the manga the boy with the bad attitude but secretly has a nice side. The other character in this book is the resident advisor JinJin. I loved the way he is always hugging Taiyou and Taiyou reactions. Of course since this is the first volume it is almost hard to guess who may end up with whom.

I've also read the few volumes of Venus in Love which were published in English and must admit that this one is the stronger of the two stories. There's something about Nakaji's style (or is it the translator's style) that I really like -- unfortunately this is another series that was left unfinished thanks to a weak North American manga market.

Better than the first!

It has fresh concept, but as fun as Double and Scramble Next Door. Sayang karakternya mirip2 semua.
