These characteristics do make for a loveable character who is easy to connect with, but if you’re reading two series by Tanemura-san at once, it’s easy to get a little confused.Īll in all, the works of Arina Tanemura are breathtaking in both art and story. Headstrong, wanting to help others, a little clumsy, in love with someone unreachable, etc. In addition to physical design, many of these lead female characters share personalities. You might not notice if you read one series of hers, wait a month, and read another, but many of her leading female characters look a lot alike. In some of her earlier stuff, there was a bit too much of an emphasis on decoration, but it never took away from the story (though I’ve caught myself more than once pausing in my reading to observe all of the details).Īn issue I find between many of her works is similar character design. When I read anything of hers, I can’t help but think wonder just how she sees the world around her. One glance at pretty much any given cover will simply suck you into her beautiful world.
What draws many into Tanemura-san’s manga was the art. I almost always enjoy reading what she has to say, even when her comments have nothing to do with the book! She really gives the reader a lot of insight into how the characters and their stories came to be. There are a ton of side-panel notes, comments on each chapter, etc. One of my favorite things about reading Tanemura-san’s works is her notes. At any rate, her resounding success in the US should speak well for her talent. Though I’d be willing to bet that it may be a while (yay for scanlations!). With any luck, it won’t be long before we see Absolute Awakening Angel: Mistress Fortune hit our shores. Since the recent US release of Time Stranger Kyoko by Viz Media, all six of her first works have been received in the US with open arms.
Her stories are heart-warming, and looking through her works is evidence that there is true art to be found in manga.
#Arina tanemura manga full
Full Moon is no doubt one of the most popular shojo manga to hit shelves since Sailor Moon. It would be a shock to find a shojo manga collection that didn’t contain a single work by the illustrious Arina Tanemura. (Sorry this is going up a little later than intended! I had a few medical issues to attend to, but all is well now! Enjoy!)
