Manga Review: Olympos [Paperback]

I've finished "Olympos" by Aki.

My Review:

The gods like to make sport of the mortals who they think are beneath them.   Ganymede a pretty prince was torn away from his family by Apollo and has been granted immortality.  He's confined in an inescapable miniature garden for the amusement of all the gods especially Apollo.  He soon discovers they would do anything for their entertainment at his expense and one another.

I really enjoyed the part where they gave a history and pictures of the gods involved in the story.  Hades was my favorite character.  Apollo, Ganymede and Hades were portrayed perfectly in this manga and the artwork was great.

3/5
