Judging by the covers and the first volume, Philly seems to be the typical clueless female protagonist who is brave, kind-hearted and caring, while Eros is the powerful protector and potential romantic interest with an ulterior motive. But what makes Pandora’s Scar appealing underneath such a familiar thematic facade is that while the story is told from a third person perspective, readers get a glimpse of the honest psychological perspectives from both Philly and Eros through facets of their personal experiences that are somehow intertwined. In the fashion of most decompressed manga style storytelling, the narrative unfolds rather slowly with the author dropping familiar references of Greek mythology occasionally, but without too many spoilers. Fans of Greek mythology can look forward to the interpretations of the various forms and roles their favourite gods take in a contemporary urban setting. For romance fans, the portrayals of emotions and struggles of the characters are very subtle and not overly dramatic, with both heart-breaking and heart-warming moments interjected with awkward humour. Rixou’s storytelling is skillful and leaves the readers with more questions which begs to be answered in the next instalment.
