I am seriously in need of brushing up when it comes to Manga, the Japanese comics form, and probably the world’s single most popular style of comics. A friend gave me Mai as a gift, and man, what a great way to continue my education. Written by Kazuya Kudō and illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami, the story of a teenage girl who comes into her own superpowers is an often-used device, but the moody black and white drawings, lively characters and insightful take on human interactions brought out in the writing only enhance the rich story. And it’s a lot of fun, too!
