I borrowed a comic "Life with Mr Dangerous" from the North York Library.
The comic is about the daily life of a single girl, who has unclear discontent and obscure depression. She feels everything is going wrong.
The story progresses calmly. Actually, I prefer extraordinary stories, like action, conspiracy, fantasy and sci-fi to these kind of realistic stories.
However, if I learned sentences like "I'd rather die, so bring it on!" from them, I would never use them.
Though, would I have a situation where I'd say "You're one of the only girl who doesn't seem boring."
Okay I'll read whatever I want!
But it doesn't mean I don't like 'Life with Mr. Dangerous'. I like it.
One of attractive traits of this comic is its graphics. It's drawn with highly clear lines, and not painted shade, like a printing.
This printing like flat graphic makes the story more objective. The comic refuses to empathize. I'm an observer of her everyday life. Then, every so often when she thinks something or watches TV, shading comes out.
The contrast between the flat and the shade makes expression of her feeling effective.
There aren't many scenes with shading effect,but they are impressive.
I like this!
