Reviews for A Midnight Opera manga volume 2

[empress8411 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I picked this up on a whim at 2nd and Charles, and although it received rather bad reviews most places, I thought it amusing, interesting, and fun. An immortal – something of a cross between a vampire and werewolf – after having ensured the safety of his people, decides to become a Rock’n’Roll legend! And yet, at the height of his career, those who once persecuted his people – the other immortals – return and he is forced to choose between his life and love, and his people. In the middle, is his brother, who never left the fight to free their people – and the evil, dark-haired immortal female who is all that humans feared in immortals. Told in bold strokes and dynamic art, with lots of black and white, this is a fast-paced story that jumps between the Dark Ages and Modern Time. The author is German, and so the view of Europe has an authenticity that is pleasing after reading so many attempts by Americans to properly capture that land in writing. While this isn’t a new or unique story, it is a fun take on an old theme, and quite a perfect read for a dark and storming night.

It's more than a little confusing. I have no idea who most of the people are and they seem to die so fast that it doesn't matter anyway.I have no real attachment to the characters, though I suppose I'm rather fond of Ein and Dahlia. I like the concept behind Ein.Sometimes I like the art, sometimes I don't.
