Editorial Reviews

Gr 10 Up
There is no denying that the rock-band lifestyle sounds enormously appealing to any adolescent. This story centers around an all-girl group called Led Salad, and these young women are depicted in the crudest, most overtly sexualized manner possible. Every scene has them only barely covered with a towel or half turned away while changing tops. The young men they encounter are mostly clueless, hormone-driven follower-types whose only interest in the band is to gawk. The action involves several violent episodes such as people being assaulted in the street, fighting, and exchanging insults. The artwork is black-and-white cartooning, but not in the Japanime style-all figures and faces are drawn more or less true to life. This flimsy title is a clear pass..
