My Comments: I am more used the art now; however, it’s still not what I like. The biggest thing holding this manga back is that the style of art is not your typical Japanese manga, yet, it tries to incorporate the typical manga humour, but it just does not work, and does not feel like it fits in. The story still feels very western, and the supposed serious tone is wrecked by the awkward humour. Through this adaptation, the puzzles lost all their ingenuity and wonder. Lastly, the main antagonists here, the monsters Jin and Jod, they are drawn so cute, and does not convey the ugliness and evilness of the siblings. This is a boring volume, it’s hard to recommend when the books are so much better.
