Takahashi Kazuki: Yu-Gi-Oh! vol. 01
It's been a while since I last bought a manga in Danish. Thinking back, it's probably the first time since volume two of One Piece in May 2003. Wow, I didn't realize it had been that long ... as I recall I was planning on collecting One Piece, but didn't when volume two failed to live up to the expectations I had set after volume one. I mean, volume one had Shanks.
There have been a lot of manga coming out in Danish lately, but quite frankly I don't really care about any of the titles they're putting out. I've read Detective Conan (who is keeping his name in the Danish version), Ranma 1/2, D.N.Angel, and Evangelion already, which leaves me with a choice between stuff like Ah! Megami-sama, Tokyo Mewmew, and Love Hina ... which is like the ultimate choice of evil vs. evil if you ask me.
So, Yu-Gi-Oh!. It's difficult for me to say anything about it, since it's just another fairly entertaining Jump series in my eyes. Not much stands out. The art is Egawa Tatsuya-inspired and cute (much cuter than the anime) but not really my thing, the "bets" that Yugi makes in each episode are childish but probably okay for the audience, and the translation is passable (better than Dragon Ball and One Piece, which had unnaturally excessive swearing). I'll probably give it to my little brother like I did with my DB and OP volumes, because quite frankly it doesn't seem better or worse than the majority of stuff on the Japanese market. Like, whatever.
Oh, Jônouchi is cute in all his idiocy.
