Another solid volume. I have to admit though, there's something about Pinoko that has me torn. On the one hand, I find her very cute. On the other hand, her split age understanding thing is just sort of weird, as is her insistence that she's "the wife"
This book has nine chapters — nine surgeries — but none of them confinced me I was reading something I could like. The stories, as the characters, were shallow. For me this book shouldn’t be allowed to call itself graphic novel.
