Queens 3
Posted: August 2, 2007 Filed under: Queens 1 Comment »There’s a bit more purpose this time around. It’s still not very good, but I think it’s starting to pull itself together and get some focus. Maybe we’ll understand just where things are going with the next volume. I’d like that.
We get backstory on all three of the main females, which is nice… if a bit incoherent. The teacher is the one who gets the most depth, but the way things kind of go in and out and connect the characters together was a bit confusing for me. Maybe I’d understand better if I read it again, but… I’m not going to do that just now. I still liked it a lot though, and I liked all the characters that were introduced that were related to the past. They were all pretty awesome, and I hope we get to see some of that pimp who the main girl was attracted to. I’d love to see how he turned out.
We also get some story development with the main character, his rival, and the girl he has a crush on. The main character starts dating a girl he doesn’t like in a situation that parallels that of his rival, and the rival does many things that he doesn’t like, so it’s possible things will be shaken up in the near future.
Yeah. Rock and roll was introduced, which I think I saw coming, but other than that, it’s still chugging along as a fairly unfocused shoujo-ish romance-thing.
