Kiss & Never Cry 
Among the many proposals for ' debut
GP Publishing surprises us with an interesting jose
Yayoi Ogawa , author of Italy known for its Six
my puppy.
Published since 2006 in the journal Kiss Kodansha (the same magazine that hosted this Nodame Cantabile coveted by Italian readers), Kiss & Never Cry is set in the world of ice skating and tells the story of Michiru and Leon, the first is the daughter of two legends of the ice dancing who dreams of following in the footsteps of their parents, the second practice hockey but after meeting the girl decides to devote himself to skating.
The two met in the United States at the birthday party of the girl, then split up and meet again in Japan after seven years, and Michiru that Leon is in front, however, is quite different from the happy little girl smiling and remember: there is something that obscures his eyes, and pushes it almost self-destruction the skating rink where you exercise to the limit physically.
What has changed the girl? And what a terrible and mysterious event has erased the memory?
The first volume of K & NC has proved very exciting for the very cutting thriller (psychological and otherwise) that assumes that the reading of readily flows: indeed, Ogawa do not merely describe the world of figure skating, Michiru's career or her relationship with Leon, but adds a third line that hosts a detective story served with a unsolved murder, shady dealings and characters with skeletons in the closet, making it suitable for a wider audience of only interested in love story or sporty appearance. The latter, however, will not be disappointed given the attention that the mangaka puts into every aspect of the story, and is very good, among other things, not to end the relationship between Leon and Michiru already in bed.
The plot twists are well proportioned and seem to be consistently placed in the history precisely because of the impact and consequences they have on stability protagonist's emotional, and clues scattered throughout the cliffhanger end of the book are a great incentive to continue buying the series.
Very good also the graphic industry, where the exhibition Ogawa sapersela get well in both scenes of everyday life than in the ice.
The choice is cheap edition without dust jacket: if the materials are discrete, however, the volume presents a problem of transparency of the pages (also common in Club Paradise) absent in other securities of the GP, despite the paper has a certain consistency.
We hope to be a hiccup for the next issue and that the problem is resolved.
Worth noting is the useful glossary at the end of the volume that explains the technical terms of the sport treated.
A highly recommended reading to all, not only to readers of shojo and josei.
