review 1: This was one of the first mangas I physically bought (as opposed to reading online), and I loved it! The medical facts and realistic rational storyline really puts things in perspective that can relate to the adult as well as young reader, so this applies to all ages. My brother described reading this like "watching a movie". The story is straight to the point, doesn't drag on, and stays interesting through to the end.
review 2: I can completely comprehend why even Japanese adults read manga - with plot line such as 'Ode to Kirihito'; it is addictive. It is a pity that I do not have Part 2 at hand yet. The story of 'Ode to Kirihito' begins with a mysterious medical puzzle - a disease called 'Mow Mow', in which man devolves into a dog before dying. Japanese doc ... moreDr. Osmai Kirihito goes down to the dilapidated, ancient village where this disease exists. Only he is unaware how dark events lay is journey, how he would be a victim himself of conspiracy and fate. His journey has, in fact, just begun. Books traverses through fascinating different worlds, dark twists and a amazing repertoire of characters. There is an ambitious doctor who would leave no stone upturned to prove himself right or his greed; a best friends whose motives often carry shades of grey, a nymphomaniac, a helpless nun caught in scary quagmire, a ruthless, weird, freak-show owner and several other cogs that show up in the story sometime. The book also has references to racism and also how, in some places, Japanese were regarded as part of fair, Caucasian race. A very fast-read story, mostly because there are too many surprise turns and you constantly want to know where Dr. Kirihito's story will end. less
