I'm disinclined to read them because of the art, but I possibly will just buy them because I'm a fan of Kouyu Shurei's art (they did the cover art) which I absolutely love. But once you open the cover its just disappointing... Read Alichino the debut (and perhaps only) manga from Kouyu Shurei, Alichino is filled with top of the line art, each page is filled with excellent art with the same amount of detail as the cover art. Anyway for all I know the storyline is superb in Return to the Laybrinth and that would balance out the art's failings. ^_^
