Roku is a fun little read. The art is nice and the story is fairly straightforward. Given the skills that the "secret weapon" possesses I would have liked to have seen the story get a little deeper. This didn't have to turn into full-fledged social commentary but making some kind of statement about what the girl represents within our actual society would have added some thought-provoking elements rather than just a generic assassin tale. What commentary is this about our current surveillance state that we live in, especially given that the girl admits that she just picks stuff up all around, not from any web connection, dark or otherwise.

I did enjoy it and will read the next one, should it come out, but I am not waiting impatiently for it.
