Egomix

I'm sorry for those who enjoyed it, but I didn't really liked those two stories. I don't have any problem with the themes, even the incest one, neither do I with the art, I'd rather say the contrary. But I don't know why, somehow I couldn't get into the stories, and I couldn't get attached to the characters.
I don't think they're bad, I mean I didn't want to put it down and I didn't feel annoyed, I just didn't feel anything. To me, it was just dull, but I can't seem to see why and it bothers me.

These are two short stories and won't take much of your time -- SO READ THEM!

the artwork is great and the story telling is amazing. It's short yet satisfying. I agree, they did make my heart skip too. the first chapter is more unique and though the second one has a more typical plot, it's still worth your time.

Beware of: incest on Nerves.

Other than that, everything is lovely. The dark themes are played out quite nicely, with historical references on Cannon (I love Paganini so it was also a plus)...though it was short, each one shot stood on their own quite nicely though I do wish for both oneshots to go on longer (like a whole volume for each oneshot)....they're crack for me, couldn't put it down until it was over in one go.

Two Stories

Canon -- This story is the one mentioned in the description box that features vampires and violins. I can't really say anything further about it without this turning into spoilers but will say that if you enjoy the subject matter or even just the Naked Ape team's art, it is worth checking out. I would rate Egomix a ten entirely for this story.

Nerves -- This one was a bit of a let down for me, which was most likely due to the delay between when the two stories were scanlated. I think that if I read them both back to back, which I plan to do at some point in the future, my opinion of this one will improve. [Yes, I did like it enough to consider rereading it.] This story does feature incest in it, which isn't for everyone. If you can't get past that, just read Cannon [as it is that great on its own]... but if you can, then do check them both out. However because this one didn't live up to the first, I am dropping my overall score to a nine.

Wow...
wow...

That first part was amazing... It made my heart skip...
Maybe because I adore classical music, maybe because it also had vampires...
But the simple, yet complicated story...
And it's the best art I've seen from naked ape.

I'll be anticipating for the second part.
And how exactly is this a dj?~~
