Mizuki has a loose style and no problem taking up an entire page to get the point across. Readers used to seeing a manga loaded with panels, side jokes, and an overabundance of writing crowding each page might find this book a little jarring, but there's a real beauty to it that ought to catch you off guard. You'll find yourself reading along at a fairly average pace, your eyes going from panel to panel when suddenly you're stuck on one particular image for an extended period of time and not necessarily because it's some intricate piece of work. Often the eye-catching work is nothing more than well-placed black ink on a white background, but it's enough to really grab you and keep you there. I like books that control me rather than the other way around, and Ba-Ku manages to pull that off quite nicely. Read Full Review
