IWGP - Ikebukuro West Gate Park Volume 1

Rating:
Summary: Beautifully drawn, a little strange. Good stuff.
Review: The thing that first hit me about this manga is that the artwork is absolutely stunning. The slightly larger-than-normal size adds to this effect, making the book a really beautiful thing to read.

The plot is a bit adult in nature, and there is enough adult-oriented material in the book to merit an R rating if such a thing existed for books. Not recommended for younger audiences.

While the storyline is sometimes a little hard to follow, it starts playing out into a very good detective/vigilante tale that shows real promise for future volumes.

I recommend that adult readers who are fans of Japanese drama (particularly the one this manga was based on) pick this title up.
