A webcomic about a pregnant nun. Holy crap.

This is a (insert one: review/advertisement) for a webcomic I currently read called Sister Claire, writing and art by Yamino.


BASIC PLOT:
____________
The story is about a coven of nuns... well, one nun, really. She's the young, clumsy nun-in-training, Sister Claire, and she has been chosen by an agent of G.O.D, Gabrielle to become the second mother of our savior. Hijinks ensue.

ART
____________
Anyone knows that to be a successful webcomic author/artist/whatever, you need art. Good art. Passable art, at least. Yamino succeeds with a fusion of styles that's part anime/manga-part Powerpuff Girls, and a charming color palette. Each page is colorful and lively, and even the darkest of pages are lovely.

WRITING
____________
Another essential aspect of forming a webcomic is knowing how to write. Yamino obviously shows her writing prowess; every page is humorous and emotional. Did I mention it was humorous? The comedy is INCREDIBLE. It's almost irreverent in it's portrayal of nuns- THE MOTHER-SUPERIOR IS YODA. Needless to say, it is epic in scope and even the most casual of readers will discover subtle references to other media, such as Star Wars and Pokemon, among other things.

CONCLUSION
_____________
I recommend this webcomic to everybody who likes humorous, irreverent humor. It's not anything over PG-13 in content. Sister Claire is an endearing character, and I rank her high in some of my favorite protagonists. And Yamino is quite the lady herself; you can find her on Deviant Art, and one of her drawings of Lady Gaga was recognized by the artist herself, who posted it on her Twitter FOR HER 3 MILLION PLUS VIEWERS.

You can find the comic at http://www.sisterclaire.com/. I'm serious, check it out.

Who knows. You might like it.

Ethan Reviews Stuff NOW ONLINE!!

Hey, everyone! It's me, Ethan, and this is my first ever blog. My goal with this particular blog is to bring forth the knowledge of great anime/manga/video games/visual novels/etc.. I hope you can be patient with me, as reviewing takes time, and you'll have to put up with my personal biases (I'll try to be as unbiased as possible!), but I'll find the awesome stuff so I can share it with you too. I'll review as I finish/remember things, so keep posted, and thank you.
