Natsume Ono (Japanese name: オノ・ナツメ) made her professional debut in 2003 with the webcomic La Quinta Camera. Her subsequent works not simple, Ristorante Paradiso, and Gente (a continuation of Ristorante Paradiso) met with both critical and popular acclaim. In 2009 Ristorante Paradiso was adapted into a TV anime series. Her current series House of Five Leaves (Saraiya Goyou), also adapted into a TV anime series in 2010, is running in IKKI magazine.
Ironically enough, this volume shows that Jean is more shrewd that he lets on and would probably excel in a position of power. The ending feels true to the series and doesn't disappoint; it wraps up all the loose threads yet leaves enough room for you to imagine what's next. Ultimately, ACCA 13 is stylish, atmospheric, thoughtful, engaging, and unlike anything I've ever read. It's my favorite work from Natsume Ono and one of my all-time favorite manga in general. I cannot recommend it enough.
I never really thought of reviewing manga, which is just odd when I think about it. This one is really brilliant. The pacing is leisurely and the setting is really unique. I think the art is gorgeous. Since I, unfortunately, didn't keep track of the volumes as I consumed them I will be posting the same review (more or less) for every one of these. This is a must-read, both in terms of the art and the characters.
The final volume is really brilliant. Everything comes together really well and in a manner that was not obvious. I really love how every character was kept in mind! It's definitely one of the best manga I can think of. There's not much action or stress which is actually very refreshing. I read this as a comfort read since the brilliant anime kinda spoiled the ending but it was totally worth it!
i have stalled in reading this book for over a year so it lost all kind of momentum, i barely remembered the characters and storyline before this but! after the first two chapters i actually started getting into it again and by the end i was satisfied and enjoyed it. i just might binge watch the anime tonight looking forward to seeing the characters come to life <33
An excellent final volume, with things wrapped up enough but still room for the characters to breathe and the reader to imagine what might happen next.
