Book Reviews of Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, Vol. 1 - Angel Reborn

Book Review: Alita I love you. Why have you changed?
Summary: 5 Stars

(4 and 1/2 stars for this Alita-is-back experience. Sure becomes 5.)

>> What's the news?
Master Yukito Kishiro has grown even better!!! I thought t h a t
was impossible. Some new drawing and rendering techniques
are introduced to the new series style.
Backgrounds are more exciting than ever. Kishiro has complicated
detail and decoration. Exquisite work! Thank you, master!

>> What else is new?
Book format is smaller.
It reads from right to left - like
in Japan. It has some airbrush rendered pages
in the beginning of each chapter.

>> How about Alita herself?
Unfortunately, Alita has changed.
Now SHE is more mature. She looks somewhat less
vulnerable and emotional. More coldhearted and even diabolic
at times. She is different. Her body is more muscular. What is most
embarrassing - her lovely face has changed. And that was what
I liked the most about her. : sigh :
I guess her creator is somewhat out of love for her.
He decided to replace the adorable graphic actress with
a new one. Anyway.

>> What's the story?
The story in this volume brings us back
somewhere in the middle of VOl. 9 from the first series.
It interchanges the 'well known end' with a new 'beginning'.
Alita is revived by Desty Nova with a new, stronger body.
She finds herself again on Tiphares where she discovers
that total pandemonium has already taken over harmony and peaceful living.
There is a war going on - a final war between children and adults.
Alita meets a new friend and fights some ferocious enemy -
her own better warrior-self - this time it's number 6. Sechs.

>> Conclusion?
After all it's Alita, but somewhat changed.
It's like a dream. Everything looks familiar and yet it's different.
You feel a light ache every time you set your
eyes upon her lovely face. Something has gone for good.

I guess, I'll need some time to believe
the new Alita is as deserving my love as the old Alita.

But hey - I'll follow her for sure.

Despite some disappointing facts concerning only the
most eager and passionate Alita fanatics, the book
is sure worth buying.

Alita stays on top of my manga list. Forever!

Summary of Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, Vol. 1 - Angel Reborn

Here is a new entry from the legendary series that has already been published in 11 languages. After a four-year wait, Alita is back, making her way through an apocalyptic universe. Picking up from the middle of the previous book, Angel's Ascension, our heroine encounters a new group of bizarre characters and revisits many of her old friends and foes. Reconstructed by Doc Ido, a talented cyborg physician, Alita has lost all memory of her former life. But there's one thing her body has not forgotten - it still instinctively recalls the Panzer Kunst, the most powerful cyborg fighting technique ever known. Bounty hunter, singer, killer: as the secrets of Alita's past unfold, every day is a struggle for survival, and her fighting talents are stretched to the limit. Can Alita alone stop the war chaos between the robotic denizens of the M.I.B. bureau and the Tipharians?
