5.0 out of 5 stars Wild and breathtaking high fantasy, 13 Sep 2005
By Ms. Jennifer Macvicar "scribble_demon" (edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you have read Junko before, you'll already be familiar with her curved, cute style, and wildly imaginative storylines. this comic is much longer than her previous stories, and each page is a gem.

the first few pages plunge you straight into her world, where the characters and the scenery are a gorgeous blend of anime and psychedelic swirls. Soon the storylines sweep you up, and the progress is well paced and very easy to follow. Character profiles drawn out in full and scattered throughout also help to make reading a pleasure.

If you have not read Junko before, be warned, her style is deceptive. While her female characters are big eyed and innocent looking, there are sex toys, blood, drug use and beatings contained within the pages. Do not be put off though, because the horrors serve to counterpoint the beauty of the images. Each frame is lovely, and Junko does not fail to create a wild fantasy which completely absorbs the reader.

There are also trivia sections at the bottom of most pages, giving a short paragraph on some of the items featured within Pure Trance, letting you see just how evolved the world Junko has created has become.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute, but creepy..., 18 Sep 2006
It's pretty safe to say there isn't really anybody out there who has a style quite like Mizuno's. Mixing the hyper-cute with sex and death in a bizarre tale of oppression and revenge.

The book is set in the near future where people live in domes and must take the life sustaining pill `pure trance' to survive. Special clinics have been set up treat females who get addicted to the pills. We follow the story of Keiko a tyrannical director of Clinic 102, under whose rule the lives of her nurses are made a misery.

The Book is in English, black and white throughout and reads left to right (the pages have been flipped and in some cases redrawn by Junko Mizuno). It also contains bits of random trivia about Mizuno's crazed world and character profiles on the bottom of each page. A brief word of warning this book ,although cute, does contain frequent mild nudity.

Well worth the price.
