But being so popular it's well-known that it's a deconstruction of the genre. And Gen Urobuchi, who wrote the story is amazing, if you search his other works as well you will see that this man can write intriguing stories. I would also urge you to watch the anime version too, it's worth it. I'm more an X-men than a Watchmen type though :) Konnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650740689826904595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749963558058074095.post-2718133104070255232015-05-09T20:45:58.203+03:002015-05-09T20:45:58.203+03:00I had always been put off these books because they...I had always been put off these books because they looked pretty shallow, but seeing as they're a deconstruction of the magical girl genre .. now I'm interested. I just bought Watchmen almost a week ago and it is, from what I understand, a deconstruction of the superhero genre, so it seems like this is kind of like that in a way. I haven't read any manga, but seeing as I'm trying to read more comics/graphic novels I'll probably give this a try eventually. Thanks for your review too, you really made me open my eyes to these books!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
