Summit of the Gods Vol.2

Jiro Taniguchi is a Manga legend who is known in the west for creating several award winning works and is also well respected for illustrating other author's stories. The Summit of the Gods is a fine example of mature `thinking persons' Manga that has very little in common with most trash `Seinen' Manga out there.The Summit of the Gods is a story of obsession, adventure and mystery which has been translated into English very well and published with great care by Ponent Mon / Fanfare. The quality of the printing and materials for the book are top-notch and the 300+ page count for each book provides plenty of reading matter for your money.If you are the kind of person who has dabbled with Manga but considered it a bit immature and disposable - you should give Jiro Taniguchi a try. The Summit of the Gods is an impeccably drawn, thoughtful and exciting story that deserves a wide readership. Purchase with confidence.

Most satisfactory

I love this manga. The mountain landscapes illustrated alone are worth it. There's a very realistic aspect to the storytelling and I can't wait to read the next chapter.

...take it from me, once you start you don't be able to stop. This is addictive, but expensive, fast food reading
