			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Strain is a manga by Buronson and Ryoichi Ikegami. This story is about so many things that I don&#8217;t even know where to begin. It is about Kusaka, a big Japanese company trying to take control of the Asian oil market. It is about the difficult relationship between the head of Kusaka and his little brother. It is about two Asian young men who grow up with the dream of bringing the Asian race at the forefront of the world market. It is about a long lost daughter, about friendship, sex, power, family history&#8230;</p>
<p>As you can see there is a lot going on in this comic. I liked this manga, there are plenty of surprises, with the character&#8217;s secret past suddenly revealed, which then puts the previous scenes in a completely new light. Also characters that at the beginning seem evil, turn out to be of a very different nature. There are also some sex scenes, and not all of them are really necessary to the story. When has that stopped a sex scene appearing in a movie?</p>
<p>The art is very good, Ikegami&#8217;s style is very realistic, sometimes it is even clear that he used photos as reference for his art. His Asians and westerners are clearly distinguishable, and even his buildings, cars and horses are very realistic. His actions scenes flow fast and clearly.</p>
<p>There are 5 volumes of this manga, and they read very very quickly. Give this one a try,</p>
