I’m so sad you didn’t like Swan! It’s one of my favorites! But I can see your point. The 70s styles and melodrama do take some getting used to, and I was initially very turned off by A, A Prime, a Moto Hagio series I encountered when I first got into manga. But reading more and more, and seeing how series built on each other over the years and just how influential the 70s shoujo art and stories are, it’s a true pleasure getting to read them now.

Just haven’t had the time since reading the preview in Shojo Beat a couple of months ago. Time to get on it!

As far as the blank eyes of surprise, that’s definitely a throwback to ’70s-era manga. I found it a little disconcerting when I reviewed Swan, vol. 1 last month.
