Review in Haiku: Franken Fran
Horror-Comedy
about artificial girl
who is a surgeon.
STORY:
Episodic tale
with occasional reference
... to prior chapters.
Overarching "plot"
about "Franken Fran"'s father
sometimes, it shows up.
Individual
stories are usually OK
Seven out of ten.
ART:
It's horror manga
So prepare for lots of gore
And gross visuals.
Art quality's good
Slightly better than average
But nothing too stellar.
Still, this manga's gorn
Is super engrossing, so
Eight points out of ten.
CHARACTER:
Fran Madaraki
Is adorable and weird
Doesn't quite get things.
She MUST save a life
Regardless of end results
Fates are worse than death.
Her sisters show up
I won't spoil them for you
Eight points out of ten.
ENJOYMENT:
I lack any doubts
On the enjoyment of this
Crazy horror tale.
Like watching train wreck;
What's going to go wrong next?
Cannot look away.
Left with some nightmares.
One of the best ones around.
Ten points out of ten.
OVERALL:
If you like gore
Karmic deaths and surgery
You'll love Franken Fran.
