One of the few realistic manga told from the perspective of a young, geeky Japanese woman, Complex Age's dramatic storyline looks beneath the surface of cosplaying to show what it really takes to live the life of someone devoted to fandom. Twenty-six-year-old Nagisa looks like a normal office worker, but unbeknownst to her coworkers, she leads an extraordinary life as a cosplayer. In her secret life, Nagisa puts countless time and effort into conceptualizing and designing costumes to attend shows and transform into her favorite anime characters. But despite her talent and notoriety in the cosplayer world, she must keep this all a secre more
Overall I've come away from Complex Age rather impressed. The story has been well thought out and approached respectfully, and the artwork is simply wonderful to look over. Cosplay is a subject that generally isn't covered that well, at least not as a main subject matter, so it'll be interesting to see where the story is taken from here. My only issue is that the story we're led to believe we're getting doesn't even begin until the end of the volume. That said, I'm more than happy to stick around for what's to come and I'm willing to bet almost everyone else will be too. Highly recommended! Read Full Review
