Manga and the Japanese Comics Tradition

I read Yaoi Cinderella Boy for this week's assignment. I have never liked or appreciated Manga before, and i still dont. but not to the extent before i actually read some of it. it does flow a lot better than i expected. the drawings and style is just way too much for me. the stories are actually kind of engrossing but i am just taken out of it because i am literally disgusted by some of the drawings. There are some that i am very impressed by, the poses are so ridiculous that it would be hard to draw and they seem pretty seamless. as far as this story goes, it was not what i was expecting. it took me by surprise in a few places and i laughed out loud a couple of times. mostly from how ridiculous the whole thing was but it ade me smile through out. Just thinking about having that kind of life and lying to that many people would be so hard to do. i liked this all in all and wasn't completely pissed off by the end like i thought i would be!
