SORAKO Graphic Novel Released!

The second release in GEN Manga’s 2013 graphic novel publishing schedule is the indie fan favorite Sorako. Complete with new artwork and new chapters!

The art of Sorako is fluid, quick, imprecise. Lines aren’t perfectly straight nor details entirely accurate, but the rough drafting style gives the frames energy and character, enhancing the impression that the artist’s goal is to tell Sorako’s story, blemishes and all. —AnimeNation
