There's a whole lot of winking going on! It reminds me of when I first started learning to draw and couldn't make the second eye look like the first, so I got lazy and just made the character wink. Concerning the book, the illustrations are cute, B&W Sunday comics-style. I think I would've liked this book better if I had grown up with the characters. Some of the pop-culture references are cheesy such as the "Twice-light" movies, and a lot of the jokes fall flat. But I think a lot of that can be attributed to the translation/interpretation.

Anyway, I got volume 1 - 3 from the library, so onto book 2!
