Featured Reviews

Naoki Urasawa once again shows that a great story doesn't have to be a long one!

As an avid fan of Urasawa's works since my mid-teens, it always gives me a sense of joy to read his stories. "Sneeze: Naoki Urasawa Story Collection" has managed to cram the joy of a full series into multiple disconnected stories, all carrying the type of feeling you'd come to expect from the great mangaka. His writing is as impressive as always, and each story captures you even more than the last.

These stories are brought to us in English by the same translator-letterer duo that brought "Mujirushi" to our English-speaking minds: translator John Werry and letterer Steve Dutro. Werry's translation reads fantastically, and is complimented greatly by Dutro's beautiful lettering and custom-made personalized typefaces. I always know I'm going to see some great lettering when I see Dutro's name!

This is a must-have for any fan of Naoki Urasawa, and a great way for new readers to familarize themselves with the mangaka.
