Before AKIRA, there was MAI
|
MAI, Psychic girl is truly on of the classic mangas that has somehow been forgotten in the US mainstreaming of Japanese manga and anime. Released in the late 80s/early 90s Mai was one of the first hugely successful B&W manga comic books.
The story itself is a rater simple but entertaining take. Mai is a young school girl who has started developing psychic abilities. She is the target of a sinister secret society who hope to harness her power (and others like her) to obtai world domination. Much like Otomo's AKIRA, Mai encounters other people who possess simlar powers to her and she must deal them.
The artwork is by famous manga artist Ryoichi Ikegami who is ebst known for his work on Crying Freeman. The style is not your typical cutesy sailor moon/dragon ball Z manga art, opting for a more realistic, sometimes western comic book approach to storytelling.
Overall MAI is a true classic a a fantastic story. One worth reading! |
