review:

'Hatsune Miku Graphics: Character Collection Cv01 - Hatsune Miku Edition' is a graphic novel about something I knew very little about. Hatsune Miku is a Japanese pop star that is actually a humanoid persona voiced by a singing synthesizer (thanks Wikipedia!). When I looked up a video, it was kind of a surreal experience.



This volume is a collection of all kinds of things. There are pages of art by fans and other artists. The renderings are a variety of styles and outfits. There are also lyric pages, comics, character bios of a sort and what seem to be game hints. The comics need to be read left to right or they won't make sense. There are some funny shorter strips and a few longer stories. The game seems to be a sort of Guitar Hero variant.



As stated, I'm not a fan. I wasn't even aware who this character was and stumbled across as a review copy. It might be nice to have a little more character background in the beginning of the book, but googling Hatsune Miku brings up a whole bunch of information and some strange music videos.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
