Queens 2
Posted: April 14, 2007 Filed under: Queens 1 Comment »Yay, now here’s some things that are not Swan. Queens is still unfortunately not very good, though it is starting to get some focus. The main character finally gives his crush up and convinces the jerk she likes to go out with her, but of course now the main character is indebted to the jerk. Pretty typical stuff, except the jerk has yet to cash in on the main character’s promise of slavery, which is weird because usually that takes over a series.
There was also a lot of focus on the two assistants, one of whom is so popular with men that she has problems with stalkers, and another who seems to have bad luck flirting with men who are getting married soon. The main artist gets a bit more personality and gives a lot of good and bad advice to the main character… the way she blushes means either she’s developing a crush on the main character or she just thinks he’s really cute like her assistants.
It’s still pretty bland, though. I like it, but it’s just not… really going anywhere at the moment. This volume was better than the first, and at least we get some movement in the relationships, but there’s nothing for the main character to do as of yet. The jokes and humor also aren’t that good, but I’ll keep buying it… it just feels fresh to me.
