Set in a steam punk near future, we get a modern spin on the tale of Pinnochio, BL style. The art of Dany and Dany is luscious, with richly detailed backgrounds, delicate use of layered screen tones, and characters with an almost fragile beauty gazing at us with doll like eyes. It is a signature style that is instantly recognisable as belonging to this pair of mangaka hailing from Italy. Being global manga, it is read left to right, with panel use cleverly guiding the readers eyes so that they flow from panel to panel in the correct sequence without fail. I quite appreciate this, as manga normally reads the other way round, and I quite often find myself trying to read a page backwards when it is in this format out of sheer habit. While this is a piece of science fiction, the story itself uses this as a plot device to explore that which makes us human instead of dazzling us with lots and lots of gadgets to golly gee whiz the story up. Most of the machinery is instantly recognisable from our current time, and even the steam punk neo-Victorian fashions are items that can be found in larger city shops or sewn from readily available patterns without post modern mechanical adornment. The prose flows pretty well despite being translated from Italian, though I did note one small typographical error. The error was very minor however, and did not detract from my overall reading pleasure. One nice surprise was the reversible nature of the couple; it was a nice departure from the usual seme/uke dynamic usually found in yaoi manga.
