Hakushaku Cain Series review
So, to put it simply, Cain is a troubled boy who solves weird mysteries. The two first volumes of the manga contain some stories which are pretty dull and it's pretty easy for the reader to guess the endings. The second and third stories are better but lack intrigue or something else to keep the reader interested. I ended up reading the pages mechanichally, waiting to reach the end. The mangaka doesn't seem to have put much thought in it, considering she used the -girl taking the place of another dead girl- plot three times(!). If this isn't lack of imagination then what
is..

Hakushaku Cain Series review
First published in Japan in the early 1990s, this prequel to Kaori Yuki’s Godchild is meant to establish a bit of Earl Cain Hargreaves’ early life. It is clear how much this Victorian gothic tale must have influenced mangaka like Jun Mochizuki and Yana Toboso.
The Cain Saga series features the blasé heir to a noble family (the main character Cain, with his tragic past and hobby of collecting poisons), his faithful butler Riff, plenty of lovely ladies and bishonen, and a bunch of mysteries to solve. There are five volumes in the series. The first two are full of short one-off stories. Most of the third volume is one story. And the last two volumes (called volumes 4, part 1 and 2) comprise one longer story featuring a Jack the Ripper theme (sound familiar, Black Butler fans?). That longer story is full of all flavors of awesome. As always, I enjoy Kaori Yuki’s artwork a great deal, but it is the way she tells her stories that really sets her apart, in my view. If I ever take to writing mysteries, or even just heavily plot-based stories, I would turn to her work as an example of how to construct such stories. |
