The unforgettable classic shojo manga about two young people against the world who overcome their pain by relying on each other returns, in a glittering metallic hardcover with all-new cover illustrations and translation! Kira's life has been marked by pain. Gang violence took her father when she was young, and her mother's remarriage only inflicted even more appalling scars. She has no trust left to offer the world, so when a ravishingly handsome boy asks her for directions one day, she draws a map and hands it to him without a word. On the other side of the map is one of her drawings, which catches the eye of the boy, a motorcyclist and professional model named Rei. When the two end up in the same class, an outrageous incident will bind them together--Rei promising to model for Kira, in exchange for more of her art. But Rei has also suffered a family tragedy that has worn down his temper to a short, flashing fuse. Can these two damaged souls with nowhere else to turn heal each other, or will they burn themselves out first? Upon its release in English in 2002, MARS quickly became of the best-selling shojo manga of all time, on par with Nana. But this beloved classic has been out of print for decades--until now. Kodansha is bringing MARS back for its 30th anniversary with an all-new translation in collectible, 2-in-1 hardcovers featuring glittering metallic covers and new cover illustrations from creator Fuyumi Soryo. The new edition will be complete in 8 volumes.

Rezension von San😶 Das hat mich an vielen Stellen mehr mitgenommen, als ich dachte. Aber im positiven Sinne! Ich mags ja sehr, wenn ein Titel einen so sehr mitreißen kann, dass es einem “schlecht” dabei geht (denn dann hat der Kreierende absolut alles richtig gemacht!). Es ist definitiv nicht für jeden etwas, vor allem dann nicht, wenn man Probleme hat mit Themen wie Suizid oder Mobbing. Aber allein dieser Band hat schon so viel Tiefe erreicht, dass es mir sehr unter die Haut ging. Ich konnte mich extrem gut in die Charaktere hineinversetzen und hab mit ihnen gelacht, gelitten und geweint. Die Harmonie der beiden Protagonisten ist so schön anzusehen - die eine ist eher schüchtern und zurückgezogen, der andere sehr draufgängerisch und immer “all-in”. Beide konträr, aber auch ergänzend. Der Plot ist im ersten Moment nicht so neu, aber ich finde alle Aspekte zusammen machen ihn verdammt interessant. Und vor 30 Jahren war das Thema sicherlich auch nicht ganz so einfach auf Papier und unter die Leute zu bekommen. Man sieht dem Artwork das Alter auf jeden Fall an, aber es versprüht auch so viel Lebendigkeit. Finde es passt sehr gut dazu. Ich werd mir die Reihe irgendwann sicherlich auf deutsch holen, denn zum Glück hat auch Panini sie mit einer Neuauflage beschenkt. 🫶❤️🔥
