Manga Review: "Skyblue Shore"
"Skyblue Shore" by Nanpei Yamada and published in English by TokyoPop has to be the most boring manga I've ever read. I struggled through the entire first volume because I love "Orange Chocolate" so much. But, alas, this first volume is a lifeless turd. Basically, it's a beach themed slice-of-life drama. There's a pointless love triangle between two 16-year olds and 25-year old man and boring bit-- plays the useless 4th wheel. I'd like to thank TokyoPop for leaving most of the effects untranslated and for a translation that includes the phrase, "back in the day" coming from the mouth of an uber-innocent 15-year old girl. FAIL. I weep for Yamada-sensei...
