Well I picked this up at the SFPL Main Genre Graphic novels section on
the 1st floor.
This is a well-drawn fantasy of multiple levels of manga
reality. The writer falls into his manga, his manga characters
escape into the past of the story and into his reality.
The escaped character wonders who is drawing the reality
in which she finds herself. But there is a lot of confusion
shifting between the levels of reality. The escaped to the past
manga character may kill the villain in the past but he has not
figured out that he was introduced later in the story to deal w
ith the villain.
If the villain is killed early will the continuity be
able to continue as it was? If the heroic guy kills the villain
will the series collapse back onto itself?
Don't ask me! This is one of the densest manga I have
every encountered and if was not a library book would stop
reading it for a week or so to let my weak mind integrate
the shifty nature of the action.
Seems to be worth the price charged in the shops.
I might even buy it eventually.

Well I manage to finish reading the story but it turns
out it was never proper finished because of Kon's involvement
in anime which gave him no time to complete the manga.
He worked out his plan for the ending but never
had time to reduce it to proper manga.
Too bad.
