ชุดการ์ตูน Alter Ego

I’m writing this review because I absolutely love the comic. I’m a huge fan of LaLisa and her Alerego, and the art and story are everything I hoped for. The creative side is flawless.

But the way this was shipped to me? Completely unacceptable. For something this special, to open the package and see bent edges and crushed corners was infuriating. Any true collector knows how heartbreaking it is to receive a damaged copy, and it honestly killed a lot of the excitement I had been waiting for.

It feels careless, like no thought was put into how much fans value these books. This isn’t just “merch,” it’s a collector’s item. To have it tossed in a package without the protection it deserves is insulting to both the product and the fans who pay good money to own it.

If the people behind this project can pour so much talent into the story and art, then the least they can do is respect it enough to ship it properly. Handle it with the care it deserves, because right now the shipping process cheapens what should be a premium, cherished experience.

as a comic collector, this is a must to add in your collections!

So look, technically, the book shipped out real quick. Like, from the store? They didn’t play around. Fast processing, sent out clean, no delays on their end. But then... it hit Brazil. And Brazil was like: “hold up, lemme take a nap first.” Customs, delivery, whatever, it’s chaos down here, man. So yeah, I had to wait. Felt like forever. But eventually it landed.
Package was solid though. No damage. All crisp.
Now the art inside? Straight heat. Like, this ain’t some quick cash-grab merch. It’s detailed, well-crafted. You can tell the visuals were handled by someone with vision, not just vibes.
The story? Man... it’s for the fans. Straight up. If you’re not in tune, it might feel a little scrambled, kinda like jumping into a movie halfway through. But if you get it, if you know Lisa? It hits. Deep. Layered with meaning.
Vixi ain’t just a character, yo. That’s the core. The essence. The real self that don’t change, even with all the pressure, all the fame, all the noise. She’s still there, steady.
And yeah… I read it after five beers. Might’ve almost cried. Might not have. Who’s asking LOL.
And yo,one last thing.
Apologies for the trash photos on the review, fr. My phone cam’s been through it. Like, I’d love to flex the visuals properly, but right now it’s lookin’ like it was shot through a potato during a sandstorm. Appreciate the understanding tho,just know the book looks way better in real life. Trust.

I'll start by saying that I am a big fan of Lisa herself. Though, Alterego as a whole isn't a masterpiece in itself, I like the concept generally. It's fun but there are many clichés that I wish were replaced with more originality to some degree.

I love the idea of making the alterego concept into a comic and I think it had great potential which is why I bought it having never purchased the actual album. The artwork by Minomiyabi is absolutely amazing and gorgeous to look at. The characters of Lisa are really brought into a new life this way.

My main gripes with this comic, however, are the typos and spontaneity. Granted, there weren't a whole lot of typos. But giving that this was such a big project, multiple people were working on it together, and the effort put into it should have caught those before official release. The story itself was kind of all over the place and didn't explain much about the villains and why they were attacking the main characters, specifically Vixi.

Giving that this is the first comic release from Lisa's own productions, I am looking forward to improvement and future releases if possible. I want more in depth story if we could possibly see this first release as a trial run for more volumes!

Thought the story was fun and different. I enjoyed it as well as the two prints that were included. The pinup gallery at the end of the comic was a nice touch as well. Look forward to see what comes down the line in the future.
