Goodreads Synopsis:
When Juri met Kazemichi,
she felt like she'd met a kindred soul. But little did she know that he
used to be Reiji, a boy nearly killed in a terrible car accident but
pieced back together with prosthetics and covered in unfeeling,
artificial skin. She also didn't know that his parts were wearing down,
or that he was about to die...again.When Kazemichi's body is found in
the wreckage of a mysterious explosion, Juri begins to unravel the dark
secrets of his past: his mother, the organization that rebuilt him...and
the man who gave him the name Kazemichi. There are two sides to every
story. Look for Made in Heaven: Kazemichi, also available from TOKYOPOP.
Review:
The
first volume of this series was interesting, and I found the
story line and characters intriguing. But it also felt a little
distant, with not a lot of emotions. This volume gets more emotional,
thankfully, and now we’re in the girls’ head.
Juri
is left wondering what happened to Kazemichi, and who he really was
now that she discovers he had been experimented on. She was clueless
and now she needs to know, she needs closure. It’s sad to see what
happened, to see her struggling with her search and being turned
away, until she finally figures it out and finds what he wanted her
to.
This
was a very interesting series, odd and unique. I quite like the idea
and the thought put into developing it and how it ended. I’m
pleased.
