Sang-Sun Park

This manga sounds very interesting when the summary is read from the back cover - "Pamela, whose past has been veiled in darkness, journeys to Scotland to find the truth. . . .She finds herself trapped in a nightmare. . . ."

Pamela, an immortal, owns the Tarot Cafe. Her clients are often supernatural creatures. She has a host of friends and enemies and something (someone?) from 500 years ago seems to be haunting her. A dragon? An old boyfriend? A demon? (I have no idea.)

Unfortunately, other than Pamela, everyone looks alike. The drawings are pretty, but I can't tell who these people are. I have forgotten the plots of the previous volumes as it's been so long, but I remember having that trouble when I started with #1. I also can't tell who is saying what. I got to the point where I knew I would never figure it out so I just started looking at the pictures and reading the bubbles to get through it, all the while remaining clueless about what was going on.

This is one of the most confusing manga books I have read. I do like the commentaries on the tarot cards and what they mean. The last story about the old man, the tree, and the boy did make sense, but most of the book was shrouded in some sort of fog for me. There was an evil perfume lady. (At least, I think she was evil.)

I doubt I'll read #6 unless it falls in my lap from the sky.… (plus d'informations)
