The Second Bakery Attack - 2.5 stars
I remember reading this one in Desire and I loved it back then, I still do in fact. The illustration did nothing for me as I had already built up the story in my mind.
Samsa in Love - 2 stars
I feel like i've read this one before but I know I have not. It did not leave the imprint I wanted to on me but Sansa's genitals burned my retinas and I might sue.
Thailand - 3.5 stars
I loved the colours and the story itself as well. It was a bit refreshing and I was very intrigued by it! The part of having a rock inside yourself, heavy and you are dragging it along as the years go by... I haven't seen such deep thought from Murakami in a long while. I really would love to read the actual story of this one.
Just like the previous Manga Stories, I did not like the art itself (except for the colours in Thailand). I would read the 3rd book but oooonly to see if there is any improvement. But never take my comment on this man's art as something significant as I did not follow my dream of an art degree and understand nothing. :)
