Pumpkin Scissors: Volume 1
Sunday, May 16th, 2010Author: Ryotaro Iwanaga
Publisher: Del Rey
Release date: November 27, 2007
Genre(s): Shonen, Political, Action, Sci-Fi, Comedy
Format: Manga
Age Rating: 16+
Overall Personal Rating: B+
Synopsis:
In what is a rather a typical setting, a battered empire after a major conflict, Pumpkin Scissors tells the story of a difficult reconstruction. Of course, this being a shonen title there are still elements traditional to the format to spice things up, like a mysterious protagonist with a special ability, the occasional inappropriate ecchi comment, and plenty of action. However, unlike most shonen titles, Pumpkin Scissors dives head-first into tackling a subject of war that most war stories, fiction and non-fiction, ignore: the aftermath.
