I'm a big fan of the Parasol Protectorate book series and appreciate good manga and this is the first manga I picked up by an american artist. My verdict is quite positive, I really loved this manga. Some details didn't entirely match the spirit and era the book is set in, such as the amount of naked skin shown in the manga adaption, most notably cleavage as well as shockingly bare arms. That aside it's a pretty amusing and quite well done adaption of the original book in my opinion and therefore a nice addition to the series. Suitable for manga and comic fans as well as readers who enjoy their stories with some fun and witty dialogue.

I have long been a fan of graphic novels and, to a lesser degree, manga. So when I heard that Soulless would be produced as a manga, I was intrigued.

After getting my hands on a copy, I can say I'm impressed, both by how well the text translated over to manga and by the art. To say REM's work is incredible is an understatement. The expressiveness of the characters, the Victorian setting and costumes, the backgrounds - absolutely breathtaking. Condensing the book into a manga couldn't have been easy, but the volume easily tells the story without leaving out anything vitally important.

Manga wouldn't be manga with sexual overtones, but I think REM kept it extremely tasteful and in line with Carriger's books.

I definitely recommend this to any manga or Parasol Protectorate fan. It's top notch!
