Pandora Heart



I read this manga sometime last month or the month before. It was decent enough and had some good moments but the flaws are too jarring to be great.

The part I read was up to after Oz met the guy who is probably the reincarnation of Baskerville Glen (edit: oh his name is Elliot). The manga was already in the terribad territory because of how preachy and pretentious it is before that point. But damn was the scene of that guy lecturing Oz ridiculous to the point of hilarious. I have to give point to Pandora Heart for having a lot of energy and trying hard, but there is this feeling that the author doesn't know how to step back a little and look at the whole picture. This is a product of an amateur who is too occupied with their own story and world that they can't control the flow and presentation of the manga in a skillful way. Still it's a nice read and does make me curious to how the story is going, though there is this doubt that I'll find the ending stupid and forget it soon after finishing anyway.
