Product Description

Synopsis

The manga phenomenon continues its unprecedented growth on both sides of the Atlantic. The stylized graphic-novel or comic-book art is now used to illustrate a wide range of subjects from science fiction and horror to comedy and romance, and it's easy to see why. The style is immediately appealing to a readership used to the fast action and drama of computer games, and the wide-eyed characters express a wide range of emotions with fewer words, a combination that attracts shy readers to the genre. And, anime - animated-film version of manga stories - has contributed to the trend so that the manga experience has now reached a hip, cult status among young people who consider it their own. Manga is the 'new rock 'n' roll'. Shojo manga is designed to appeal to young (13-16 year old) girls, and as tarot is already a firm favorite with female readers, "Selena's Shojo Manga Tarot" is guaranteed an enthusiastic reception. "Selena's Shojo Manga Tarot" comprises a full deck of 78 cards, made up of the conventional 22 Major Arcana cards, and the four suits of Swords, Cups, Pentacles and Wands each with illustrated pip cards (from Ace to Ten), plus four character Court cards.

There is also an accompanying book that offers a brief background to the tarot, with information on: how to prepare for reading the cards, how to select cards for a reading, and how to consult them. Layouts are presented that cater for the kind of questions and issues that are likely to be posed by teenage girls: How can I make this boy interested in me? What does the boy I fancy think of me? Does he/she like me? How will I do in my next exam? How can I improve my exam results? Will it make a difference whether or not I go to the library today? And, how can I get on better with my parents?

3.0 out of 5 stars Youthful wide-eyed artwork, 16 Nov 2006
By B. A. Venn-lever "BeBe Ve" (Berkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Japanese comic style artwork of youthful wide-eyed charaters in a very collectable Managa style gives this deck a childlike appeal. Soft in colour, the fully pictorial Higher Arcana cards loosely reflect the tarot's traditional images. The Lower Cards show the correct number of traditional symbols or pips on each card, numbered one to ten. These represent the card's placement in each of the four suits, e.g. four cups are all you get to represent the meaning of the card the Four of Cups. The Court cards are pictorial and titled Page, Knight,Queen and King.

The slender cards are very cleverly boxed in a two tier tray which swivels open at the bottom and makes for easy storage and access. The deck of cards is suppoprted by a small token hand book explaining the barest principles of the tarot. This offers a simple interpretation for each card and shows a few basic card layouts.

A lovely deck for Manga collectors to covet but it may not offer enough or be mature enough to use as a 'working deck' if you are a professional reader. I would say that it is more suited to those in their early teenage years and those who just love to collect the tarot in its many formats.
