Appears to be more of an escapism meant for the author himself than the reader. It moves onto an already predetermined path that any fairy tale enthusiast will be familiar with. However, this is Jiro after all; Peter Pan resembles a Mad Max bandit on his way to the anarchistic version of Neverland - filled with rebellious teens in obsessive pursuit of pleasure. Narrative weaknesses are ameliorated by vivacious visuals. It is evident Jiro enjoyed this one to the fullest. Pen strokes are chaotic and hard as ever, and panels can barely hold the amount of ink put into them; they threaten to explode inyour face at any moment. Given that this is his first work it radiates with enthusiasm and helped pave a way for the established artist that he is today. Be warned, this is a very sexual work. Characters are never dehumanized, but their outbursts of sexuality are thematically appropriate; after all, they are in the land of pleasure. Despite that it has a humorous vibe to it, it could still be considered a bit shaky, reception-wise. The writer of this review promises that childhood memories will remain intact, but is not to be blamed for any mental scars that could occur.
