This was just ok. Nothing about the art or the story blew me away or brought anything new to the table.
I'm not a Japan fanatic, however, so if you are, this may boost your appreciation of the series. I wouldn't be able to say one way or another if the Japan part of this story is accurate, but other reviews make it sound like it was pretty spot on. I did like that were explanations on the monsters at the end, but I still don't have enough interest in Japanese mythology for it to change my mind.
If I hadn't already purchased Vol 2, I'd probably be putting a halt on this series. I'll read the next one and go from there.
