The Guin Saga, Book 2: Warrior in the Wilderness and The Guin Saga Manga: The Seven Magi, Volume 2 have hit the stands, and not a day too soon. The frenzied mob outside the Vertical offices demanding more Guin was starting to get a disquieting, feral look in their eyes. And we at Guin Central understand. When last we left the leopard-headed amnesiac warrior in the prose novels, he was literally taking a leap of faith. But don’t take my word for it. Read what Scott Green from Ain’t It Cool News had to say:
“Kaoru Kurimoto manages the flurry of situations being set up and resolved like the trick of putting a hand on a table with fingers spread out, then stabbing a blade between the outstretched digits. The speed and coordination is that amazing.”
As for Guin’s manga-nized and royal counterpart, his kingdom was being overrun with dark sorcery, giant spiders, and bodacious sorceresses when the first volume closed. And what are the top reviewers saying? Take a gander at Serdar Yegulalp from Advanced Media Network’s comments:
“A blanket recommendation for The Guin Saga Manga goes out to three types of people: those who are already Guin lovers; high-fantasy fans; and anyone looking for something nicely off the beaten path. There’s only one more volume for this particular story, so I’m hoping other Guin manga adaptations will follow suit in the future. We should be so lucky.”
Of course, by the time you’ve read all this, the book might be sold out. So what are you waiting for?!!
