Critics Review
“Mars…has the form of a glittering girls’ romance but the heart of Charles Baudelaire and a surprising amount of motorcycle action… One of the darkest 1990s shojo romances short of Banana Fish… Everyone is wounded. And everyone is angry, [and] this all unfolds in a fatally good-looking comic… It’s the right time for a story without an ironic bone in its beautiful body about looking in the face of the god of war, and choosing love.” –The Comics Journal
“This 30th anniversary edition is gorgeous, put together with care, even reverence, for Soryo’s art… Mars was one of the best manga to come out in English in the early 00’s, and it’s long been a shame that it was unavailable to buy in print without paying exorbitant prices. I’m grateful that not only do I finally get a chance to put it on my shelf, but I have such a beautiful book to do it with.” –Anime News Network
