Quote from Crenshinibon
@revilenigma
I can talk all day about how detailed this manga is. The author has a master degree in Western history and he actually knows how to set up a realistic background (and if you want a counter-example not like Souryo Fuyumi in Cesare).
When you see a kid wearing a jersey of the team of his city, and that team play in the fourth division, and the jersey had the same layout and sponsor...
When you see that people with left-wing idea read Italian left-wing newspaper and people with right-wing idea read Italian right-wing newspaper...
When you see that people drink Italian beverage brand and not Coke...
When you see people talking about Italian history (especially Years of Lead), culture and literature in an intelligent way (what you expect to hear in university lessons and not at the bar)...
When you see a flashback set in 2002 and the girl is wearing a jersey of your favorite team with the sponsor of THAT exact year...
I can go ahead but I'll stop, I'm already OT. I only pointed out those "external" aspects, without entering the best part of the manga, the analysis of the psyche of the girls, struggling in a cruel reality with the paradox of being the real "human beings" (pardon the word's choice) of the story even if they're cyborgs.
Of course if you don't care about a quality plot and just want to see plain violence and boobs mine was an exercise in futility.
If you can criticize other people's choice I suppose you're very confident about how awesome the manga you read are, so you should have post them instead of using a post just to give me a "lol wut?"
