## Description

Metamorphosis [L, Shindo] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Metamorphosis

Review: Arrived quickly, and is of the highest quality - Pros : • Arrived many days before desertcart's earliest provided date [ordered 22nd and arrived 25th] • The book is packaged with some bubble wrap, as to avoid possible damage • The book comes in a nondescript brown box, with nothing more than a tracking sticker and packing tape • The book itself comes with a "dust jacket," which overall looks nice, as it has a colored illustration on it • The book includes some exclusive drawings, which are not included in the online versions, which provides a smooth transition from the first half of the story to the other half by including other interactions with some men, as opposed to a sudden and possibly confusing change • The book also includes an afterword by the author • The drawings are well made, and look fairly realistic • Even though the drawings themselves were originally digital, they have a high resolution in the book • The pages aren't flimsy either, it's not like they're from a stack of printer paper or anything similar • The story itself is a good one, although it may be a bit hard for some people to get through it all in one sitting • Partially because, it's quite a lengthy one, and two, because it is a somewhat tragic one • The story is also professionally translated, and reads perfectly in English, as opposed to the online versions • All other aspects of the drawings, such as sounds, are also translated into English • Furthermore, nothing in the story is censored in the slightest • The story is also not not repetitive, as it explores many different aspects of her life, and places her in numerous situations and places • It also is not entirely focused on her interactions with men either, as the story manages to incorporate and show her relationships with friends and family too. • The character also makes numerous changes in attitude and motivation throughout the story, which provides and helps create a more complex story with lifelike motives and characters, which adds to the saddening ending as you tend to get attached to the character in some manner. • Finally, the story includes a twist at the end that is not commonplace in your usual H-manga, so you're in for a surprise when you read this. Cons : • The aforementioned dust jacket would seem more appropriate for a hardback book, and can be accidentally bent if not handled carefully when storing/hiding it, however, it can be taken off, so it's not too much of an issue. • Even though the book does provide a listing of chapters with according page numbers, the pages themselves aren't numbered. Image 1 : Front cover/dust jacket and discreet packaging Image 2 : Shows level of detail in each page Overall, the book is well made, perfectly translated, discreetly packaged, and has a wonderfully diverse story with lifelike characters and motives that will seriously make you question if this story was based off of true events. I recommend this book to everyone, including long time readers of H-manga / erotic manga, and even to newcomers of this sub-genre, however I must recommend that they not be too squeamish or lighthearted, as it will come across as disturbing. 5/5 stars.
Review: Modern Greek tragedy - I originally read this manga online for free, but decided to purchase the hardcopy on desertcart. Simply put, it is one of the best stories I have ever seen, a true Greek tragedy, and I wanted to support the author. The story in a NUTshell (pun intended) is about this girl who wants to have friends. She decided to have a makeover on her first day of high school, and she turned out to be pretty successful. Unfortunately, she meets up with the wrong people and her life starts spiraling downwards. The author is VERY descriptive and puts a lot of detail in the drawings. The reason why this story is one of my top 10, is because of how real it feels. This story doesn’t try to be edgy for the sake of being edgy, everything that happens, happens for a reason. I definitely recommend giving it a read and support the author by purchasing this book. I cannot describe how well written and drawn this manga is. WOW!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun for the whole family!!!! 5 stars.
*by D***L on August 18, 2020*

Great read! Fun for the whole family!!! This is a great book not unlike Aesop’s fables. This book is a tale about a girl who didn’t listen to her parents, and then listened a little too much to her dad. This is a story about all the real monsters that exist in the world and is a great lesson for young readers in how the world loves to kick you when your down and how when you think your life can’t go any faster down the tubes. Life’s let’s out a rebel yell throws the beer can out the window of your life and grabs another gear. Seriously I think this book should be required reading for all middle school age children. 5 stars
