Ueda Hajime

This is an odd book but that is a good thing. It is not the typical manga you may read. There is very little in the way of plot or story. There is good art but this is a book about oddity. It's about embracing oddity. If you can do that you can enjoy this book.

Ugh. What a horrible, no good, confusing, visually appalling, poorly told adaptation of what is considered an anime classic. I could have just rewatched the series! But no! I'm honestly debating if I should put myself through book 2, even though that would finish the series. I wonder if the light novel is better?

even harder to follow than the anime, somehow. I should re-watch the anime.

Honestly the descriptions sounded so interesting but I the panels were impossible to follow. I always felt confused. I give up on this series.
