Tokyo Alice is superficial fun as well as an outstanding example of exactly how digital-only releases enable for much more diverse kinds of manga titles in the us market. In this case, it’s a story of a group of young women searching for like (whether they recognize it or not) in the huge city, told by Toriko Chiya. Josei manga (aimed at adult women instead of girls) has been a difficult offer in English, although I’m always glad to see much more of them.
Fu doesn’t concern about having a sweetheart since her enthusiasm is shopping. She’s in debt, can’t pass up a sale, as well as is trying to save up for a Chanel bag. Her manager may be thinking about her, in spite of her extreme behavior, however she hasn’t yet noticed. She’s been warped by her unreliable dad as well as his different company schemes, which made her dealings with money rather skewed.
Her 20-something buddies are in different combinations of relationships: Mizuho is a shojo manga artist whose sweetheart is a wannabe musician without any reliability or income. Rio is a psychotherapist with a trick crush. Enjoji is a rich woman whose household is identified to set her up with an elite guy; up until her interaction becomes official, she’s sleeping with as numerous guy as possible.
I am trying to withstand comparing this manga to Sex as well as the City, since just about any type of story with a group of metropolitan young women gets compared to that, however here, it’s quite similar, especially with the brand name-dropping.
Fu as well as her buddies have big eyes as well as triangular faces that reminded me of the style of Moyoco Anno. It’s much more fashion-focused than the younger-skewing shojo that’s taken up so much of the romance manga market here. Tokyo Alice is silly however addictive — I want to see the women end up with great boyfriends as well as accomplish their dreams, even if they are surprisingly material.
