Dreamy Watercolord Imagery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is the first manga that I have read by So-Young Lee. What drew me to it was the combination of the fantasy elements and the exceptional artwork. This is not your usual teeny-bop manga! The drawings are lush, complex, and poetic. The cover artwork really draws you in... The story itself is a tad slow, with some confusing elements, but this won't stop me from reading the rest of the series. The care that went into the drawings more than makes up for the occasional "Huh?" experienced when reading it!
One of So-Young Lee's best works

This is the second manga by So-Young Lee i have read. The fisrt one, Model, though, does not compare to Arcana's beauty. Lee's artwork is hauntingly beautiful, in both novels. Though the plot of Arcana is much better than that of Model, and set in a fantastical world, which i personaly prefer. A youhg girl, Inez(spelling?), has the amazing ability to talk to animals. This gift plays a bigger role in everyone's lives than Inez could possibly imagine. She lives in a mythical land in which it only snows evey hundred years. And with the snow, comes the dragons. With the help of a mysterious item, an old wizard who adopted Inez when she was orphaned, and a pet dog, Inez must set out to rid her country of the dragons. The art is amazing and the end of the first novel leaves you wanting more. I highly recomend this manga to anyone who is looking for something mystical and dark to read.
