  Because it's marketed under TokyoPop's steamier BLU imprint, I have to assume that Voice or Noise gets sexier. My guess is that once junior high-schooler Shinchiro, who is the age of consent in Japan (15 years-old), gets into high-school, his clothes will start coming off, and his relationship with Narusawa will become less affectionate and more physical. So far, the confusion on both parts (on Shinchiro's side as he becomes more aware of the animal life around him and his part in the animal world; on Narusawa's side in regards to his feelings toward Shinchiro) dominates volume one. Many of the emotions get muddled and I sometimes wonder if it's due to Enjin's limited (but growing) visual vocabulary. Certain backgrounds are missing as well as scenes - scenes that could have cleared up the sentiment of both characters. Since this is only volume one, and Enjin's first manga series, we'll have to wait and see. Read Full Review
