We practically get the shots of characters on 42nd street, in front of the array of various grindhouse movie theaters. However, unlike exploitation films, this manga has a production valume you can see on the page. Akimi Yoshida has an art style that reminds me, a lot of Katsuhiro Otomo, from the way she draws faces, to the detail in her background. If I was to lay one complaint at her work, it's that she doesn't draw black people very well. It's not that the characters are drawn like Black Sambo (like some artists have a bad habit of doing - lookin' at you, Akira Toriyama). The character of "Skip" is supposed to be a black kid in his mid-teens - but his lips are drawn just a little too big. It's not so much that it's a caricature, but it's enough to stand out and be jarring. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

VICE CITY: NEW YORK IN THE 80s... Nature made Ash Lynx beautiful; nurture made him a cold ruthless killer. A runaway brought up as the adopted heir and sex toy of "Papa" Dino Golzine, Ash, now at the rebellious age of seventeen, forsakes the kingdom held out by the devil who raised him. But the hideous secret that drove Ash's older brother mad in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into Papa's insatiably ambitious hands--and it's exactly the wrong time for Eiji Okamura, a pure-hearted young photographer from Japan, to make Ash Lynx's acquaintance... Epic in scope, and one of the best-selling shojo titles of all time in Japan, Akimi Yoshida put an electric shock into the genre and gained a huge crossover audience through Banana Fish's stripped-down, non-stop style.

Since this story actually came out in the 80s and is intended to be ABOUT the 80s, it works well enough, rather than the beautifully done and more visually enjoyable anime adaptation that also kind of Frankenstein-monster'd its way to modernization while still attempting to retain the aesthetic/culture of 80s America, which truly doesn't work. The story here just doesn't work as is but set in 2016. But here, it's fine. If you combine the visuals of the anime with the story here, you get something solid between them. And that's not to say the art is bad here, because it is rather good (even if I don't care for how Eiji is drawn, and the way the manga sometimes does bad stereotype art for black people), but the anime does have much better art mostly. The plots that were good in the anime come right from here, including
