I'm very biased toward Karakara Kemuri's art-style, ever since I read SUSANOH. Mars Red is so beautifully drawn, and absolutely gorgeous. I was also a fan of the character Takeuchi, even before I read Mars Red, as my sister would ramble a lot about him. Some of the expressions he made in this volume was both wonderful and heartwarming.

I do reccommend reading at least the last chapter in volume 2 before reading the first in volume 3, because initially, I was very confused with the opening scene. A lot happens, right from the get-go, and it's sometimes a bit tricky to follow. There was also a scene that felt like it was more or less the exact same as from volume 1, which did remove a star for me.

Overall though, Mars Red is quite a good comic.
