DOLL by Mitsukazu Mihara

read another manga series!!! this time its DOLL by Mitsukazu Mihara... i bought the book because the cover is so drop dead gorgeous! her characters all feature the ghotic lolita / lolita / schoolboy look.

its about these human like robots that were designed and sold to the public and these mechas are called dolls. some use them as a personal companions, some as maids and some for sexual gratification. in other words, these dolls can do whatever a human can, only better and more efficient.

the great thing about this manga is that these dolls, no matter how cold, plastic and heartless as they were, managed to touch the lives of their human owners and changed them for the better. there are a few nice fuzzy moments in this manga too.

artwork, i'd give a 8.5 out of a 10

cover design a 10 out of a 10 (for convincing me to buy this manga, which featured FEMALE dolls on the cover!!)

and a resounding 10/10 for the excellent plot!

note to whoever who wishes to buy this series, there is a total of 6 books in the series and i managed to secure only 3 books from Kinokuniya. these, as with FAKE, are printed by TOKYOPOP, an american company. so it takes kinda looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggg for them to come to Singapore.

oh, and even though the pictures above looked suggestive, there is very minimal sexual scenes in them.
