review 1: Like the first trade this was well drawn and okay, but really just not my thing. This is the last volume that my library system owns so I am unlikely to read further volumes. The almighty dolly crap was a little too hokey and annoying for my. It was a mildly clever play on religion and pop-culture fads, and there is obviously something sorta mysterious going on behind the scenes with the little sheep dolls, but you know what, I don't really care. If I needed something to read and volume 3 was near by I'd read it and be adequately entertained, but I don't have a desire to seek out the next volume.
review 2: This one didn’t seem to progress as well as I had hoped. A lot of stuff happened, mind you, but the plot didn’t move forward well or maybe I feel like th... moreis because the girls in at the school remain poorly developed and we were given rather pointless nude scenes.Shiro has been assigned double duty. One, he has to babysit the mysterious head of the school, Mr. Rockwells. All we know of this man is he’s reckless, has adopted a young girl, the clones seem afraid of him and he obviously doesn’t care much for the clones he’s technically in charge of. He’s in town for the festival where the clones show off their yearly projects. The other duty Shiro has is to babysit Mozart after his suicide attempt. It doesn’t help that he and Mozart dislike each other. Through this runs the almighty dolly sheep storyline where the clones have raised these stuffed dolls to near cult status as good luck charms since they have no family or god of their own. However, the dolls might be used for spying on them and the cult is taking a weird bent, trying to break with their originals’ lives. Joan is up first, guided by Rasputin to be ‘burnt at the stake’ symbolically (yet using a real stake and fire) to break Joan of Arc’s hold on Joan Clone’s future (oh nothing can go wrong here).There is at least one group plotting to kill the clones. There seem to be many various subplots within the clones themselves. What they all seem to agree on is they do not want to be beholden to their originals’ lives no matter what their creators seem to want. This isn’t a bad manga but the girls need to either be less useless or go away and just have nothing but men. I’d rather that than poorly done women. less
