Despite her awesome skills and fantastic strength, all she really wants to be is…well, normal.
Yuki Lee is your average everyday martial arts prodigy with mystical powers. Welcome to the twisted journey of Japanese schoolgirl Yuki and her Panda nemesis. Genre: Action/Adventure, Comedy, Graphic Novels, Leading Ladies, Manga, Martial Arts, Original Series, Romance, School Life 2 is just as much fun and as well produced as Vol. I give Yuki vs Panda a solid 3/5 and hope Vol. But other than that, I highly recommend you read this book. Her teacher/Grandfather, Master Lee, hits on a woman and says “Ni Hao you doing?” which is most certainly not Japanese at all. They claim that Yuki is a Japanese schoolgirl but her last name is Lee (not Japanese). Even with all of this going for it, I just can’t overlook all the non-Japanese elements in this story. I usually hate this cartoon-style of comic book artwork but with Yuki vs Panda, I felt like I was watching an Adult Swim future hit. This semi-violent exchange turns into a future rivalry that makes the Chicken vs Peter Griffin look like a kids schoolyard fight. You are thrust right into a young Yuki basically tormenting a baby Panda with her ice cream. All this makes for a fun story and something more than a knock off.
Regardless, this did not deter me from reading this comic which, for a better lack of description, is a great mix of Project Ako/DragonBall/Teen Titans and Family Guy. The cover seems to fall flat and depend on a lot of Photoshop. Yuki vs Panda’s cover is a little misleading in terms of what we get on the inside. That brings me to this very different looking comic book that should be more of a spoof on anime and Asian culture than just a Gaijin knocking on the outside doors of manga.
So, since I am a huge sucker for anime and manga, I look at what other people consider manga.
Comixology has supplied us with so many interesting independent comic books that sometimes I just don’t know where to begin.
