SS Review – Solanin
(Short and Sour)

This is a story about a struggling band and the relationship between the band members, with it mostly centering on the lives of the lead singer and his girlfriend.

Like I said the manga focuses on the relationships of the band members and how they cope with a certain incident. They formed their band in their school days and the name of the manga shares the same name as a song they made. Unfortunately I haven’t got much else to say regarding the story and characters as this is a short manga and I don’t want to spoil any of the character interactions. This is a drama at heart.

Art’s pretty good, has a unique look to it I guess. I enjoyed the short manga it play’s out like a drama in my opinion, if you are wondering if this is anything like Beck, no…no it’s not. It’s okay though.

7/10
