### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An entertaining read presented beautifully
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2015*

The genius of Satoshi Kon left us too soon with his passing from cancer a few short years ago. His last film "the dream machine" remains incomplete, stuck in financial/production limbo. However, stateside at least, Vertical and a few other publishers are finally bringing Satoshi Kon's rarely translated Manga work for English readers to enjoy.Vertical's recent release "Dream Fossil- The complete stories of Satoshi Kon" is a gorgeous work of love. This 500+ collection compiles short stories that were published in various magazines throughout his career. Satoshi Kon fans will of course want to get it however there is quite a bit of variety in these tales that would appeal to anyone with an interest in anime, Manga or Japanese culture.Praise goes to Vertical who have put together a beautiful book. It isn't often consumers think about the small decision publishers make that determine a books total look. Here though Vertical have selected a nice paper stock and the binding for this book allows the pages to breath without putting to much stress on the spine (which results in the cracks or breaks in the book spine). Usually with omnibus or larger collection over 400 pages the spines is glued and the books are uncomfortable to hold. The margins for manga are wide which allows the reader to see more art.  Color pages are presented if the story had them (most published manga typically does not). And finally the cover has a nice matte finish.Overall Vertical continues to publish gorgeous manga titles and this one is perhaps one of their most gorgeous and entertaining releases yet.

    High quality release, but lacking where it counts
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2015*

As much as it pains me, I cannot give Dream Fossil a five star review. My rating has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the manga itself. Indeed, Satoshi Kon is an excellent artist and his brilliant style shines through in this book from front to back. The quality of this book is also excellent, possibly one of the highest quality releases from Vertical. However, I take great offense to the poor quality of the translation on display here. This translation by Yota Okutani reads like it was done by someone who only had a grasp on the most formal of English. It's so bland and robotic it actually made understanding just what was going on confusing and frustrating in pretty much every story. All of the dialogue reads in a neutral voice that makes it hard to distinguish if a character speaking is male or female, child or adult, angry or happy, etc. This severely impacted my enjoyment and is a huge disservice to fans of Satoshi Kon's who wanted this work to be properly expressed in English. If I'm to shell out nearly $20 for a book like this, I expect a professional product in every way, and this simply did not meet my standards. I don't know at this point if Vertical can do anything about it, but I hope that they hear what I'm saying and won't allow a translation like this to be released as a premium commercial product ever again. I know they can do better than this.

    Skippable
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2020*

Satoshi Kon is one of the greatest directors I have had the pleasure of watching the films of. However, when it comes to his manga, I find it to be hit or miss. Sadly with this collection, I found it to be more misses in terms of the stories. The artwork is beautiful, and there are some gems in here, but as an overall package, I found it rather lacking. I would say this should be reserved for die-hard Kon fans only. You're not missing much if you pass it up!
