More manga means more superficial artistic critique. Even if he is an amateur, Danny knows manga and he once again tries to adequately explain the positive and negatives while addressing the visual media concern. What is a manga really? Can great art make up for a subpar story? Can genius narrative overcome lackluster art? What if you're a mangaka god and have both? What if you have neither? These are the topics Danny discusses, but mostly he attacks the question of whether or not any art can survive on fan-service alone. How does volume two hold up and how does it compare to his first time reading it? Find out in another engaging episode of The Broken Shelf.
