Manga Notes: The Girl with the Sanpaku Eyes 1

Cruising to Iceland and back by “the Viking route” did have me thinking back to having watched the latest block of Vinland Saga anime. When those idle memories swam into my mind the way a song might come back to you without quite desiring that, I did get to thinking “good grief, you can’t process everything through an anime/manga filter.” Eventually, I read a nonfiction book on the subject of the Vikings from the ship’s library (Neil Price’s Children of Ash and Elm). When I got back to my own place, though, in the last days of August I did go back to the original Vinland Saga manga rather than take on the stack of unread volumes from assorted series down in my living room. As impressive as that series remained, to get back to taking on manga I hadn’t read before I did start thinking of how the first three volumes of a series had been waiting for some time, and picked up Shunsuke Sorato’s The Girl with the Sanpaku Eyes.
