Also about the manga, I'd say a big difference is how the panels are laid out. The aren't just squares, one after the other. I'm Italian and the traditional Italian comics follow a very regular panel pattern, while manga are more versatile on that front. It might look confusing for someone not used to it.

In manga, there are always excessive lines showing the movement of the characters, while here the pictures are… static. Not that it’s a bad thing, it feels very clean." You make a very good point. I'm one of those people who've just started reading Manga and I hadn't been able to pinpoint what feels different about it, but you're right. I loved this book. I'm very glad you liked it too. “I’d say the biggest difference is the sense of motion.
