Just the thing for all readers who think manga has to be about big eyes and tiny noses, flowers and demons.  This has far more in common with traditional American comics than anything else and combines a fairy tale kingdom with modern humor, some gross-out goo and some rather neat imagination.  I particularly liked the composite monster, animated buildings and laconic style.  It’s a quick read, but all the better for not being long winded like too much conventional fantasy.  In fact, if you think fantasy has to be verbose and manga has to be Japanese, then this book will come as something as a cliché-buster, and that has GOT to be a good thing.  Bravo Yen Press!
