If you love music, comedy, and sexy band members you will LOVE Audition. This first volume begins slowly, we start to be be introduced to the idea of the band members- Dal Bong, Chul, Mickey, and Rae, by hanging out with a detective and an heiress. Its a goose chase, and its very fun. But when you get to the second volume :DDDDDDD Everything comes together and starts making sense. Thats when you really meet the band members and fall in love with the manga. The characters are cute, funny, inspiring, complex, and of course GENIUS. Each have their own developed personality that lend to the beauty of thestory. I recommend Audition 100%! My only complaint is that the volumes are still being published so I have to wait until the 3rd comes out. ):

Synopsis

Ever dream of being in a rock band? How about a GENIUS rock band? Chul, Dal Bong, Mickey, and Rae-young--four deviant misfits of society--find themselves stalked, caught, and coerced into forming the greatest boy band of the century. And it doesn't hurt that they have talent, looks, and personality. A female detective, an heiress, a Betsy Johnson-inspired wardrobe, an evil dude, a cute evil dude, and other casts and characters all come together in this brilliant high jinks story of rock 'n roll, friends, and yes, love, that will make you wish you could have been there for the Audition.

The way the story progresses doesn't feel like a natural flow at all. It feels very disjointed and confused. The art style has its moments but more often than not it ends up looking awkward and silly or creepy. Take the second page of Vol. 1 for instance, after killing a fly with a magnifying glass the expression she makes is so ridiculously exaggerated. There is no flow of time to the story at all either. Often times I find myself confused as to how much time has passed because one of the characters has a different outfit in every scene and even adifferent hairstyle. the official English release is not done well, and the dialogue has a lot of simple spelling and grammar mistakes. If you are after a comedy series about a band, this is not even close to a good choice. TL;DR the designs are clunky at best and the story has no flow to it at all.
