Reviews

[Michela Cacciatore · Rating 3 out of 5]

Malgrado sia una narrazione datata, mantiene il fascino del dramma.
Le ambientazioni sono molto fantasiose ma esotiche ed affascinanti, è un Egitto immaginario, con rimandi a doversi elementi esterni.

Sicuramente nel complesso è un'opera che appartiene ad un modo diverso di fare manga rispetto a quello a cui siamo abituati oggi. Ma molto affascinante.


Despite its dated narrative, it retains the charm of drama.
The settings are highly imaginative, yet exotic and fascinating; it's an imaginary Egypt, with numerous references to external elements.

Overall, it's certainly a work that belongs to a different style of manga than what we're used to today. But it's very fascinating.
