![]() ![]() Yoshimizu’s attitude to women is as contradictory as his art. He can evoke an instant mood, and has a magnificent eye for movement. He’ll switch from somehow very simple traditional manga linework as per the sample page to kinetic action, then to illustrations that have noodling to them on a par with Sergio Toppi. He’s as schizoid with his styles as he is with his writing, but there’s a far greater foundation to the drawing. Yoshimizu’s art is still the strong point. The answer’s not one she’s going to like. Ryuko is the central character, an ambitious woman with a history haunting her, leading a Yakuza clan in the Middle East, and about to learn a secret she’s long wanted: the whereabouts of her mother. Two pages are need to recap characters and a plot that skipped from person to person, present to past and location to location. While Eldo Yoshimizu’s art was a frequent source of amazement during Volume One, his story often made little sense. ![]()
