Manga: D. Gray-man volume 1

Chao! My friend recomment this manga and i finally read it ;D I had hear about this manga but didn't got change to read it so now i can finally say i have read it and actually i'm reading in volume 3 now. This review is about volume one thought.

Author: Katsura Hoshino
Artist: Katsura Hoshino

D.Gray-Man is set in fictional 19th century Victorian-like England. This blend of horror and action follows the journey of Allen Walker, a 15 year old boy with a cursed eye and a powerful anti-akuma weapon embedded into his left arm. The Akumas are created by a demonic figure known as Millennium Earl, who uses them in his bid to create despair and destroy mankind.

The manga is very shonen like as much as it seems like when i first looked it. Also the art it very shonen like, quite detailed and still simple ;D

Story is very basic shonen and it can be taken as good or bad depending who is reading. To me the story is quite good to read if it doesn't have the basic scheme in every book which changes little bit every time in next volume. I need to say in the first volume story seemed to be like this kind of story which moves in its same frames but after reading volume 2 i figured out it won't be like that. That's very good relief for me 'cause i don't like so much stories which are like that ( if you even did understand what i meant :'D ).

Characters seems good but the main character didn't give me the wanted "Oh he seems very interesting" but the enemy who is a comic-relief-like troll jumping around wearing funny clothes. :'D yeah believe me the enemy can't be taken seriously..or atleast i couldn't :''D

So anyway D. Gray-man seems to be manga what i will read more but i guess it won't be my ultimate favorite just little bit above "good-thing-for-killing-time". Mostly i recommend it for those who like shonen and want's easy manga to read and amusement. For people who have seen so many basic shonen i'm not sure will this be the best choise but i guess it won't still be bad choise to read.

Manga: Kimi ni todoke volume 1

Manga called kimi ni todoke is very heartful and sweet story about shy and weird girl's life as outsider in her school but one day she will become friend with famous boy who becomes her friend and maybe more.
Karuho Shiina has made story where heroine isn't typical loud voiced and crazy like other mangas' charas are but scary looking and shy girl. The heroinen is very nice and sweet to watch but i didn't like so much the boy 'cause he didn't has got nothing new in the chara than others have already so that was pity but i hope it gets better in other volumes.
Art isn't bad and has sweet and light like feeling in it but sometimes gets too light and doesn't express the sad feelings so much. Also the art is quite familiar to the other type of basic manga styles in shojo which makes it look less original. I personally call this kind of drawing style as "sweet shojo style". I hope the story will get better in the next volume but i still liked to read it and it's good for reading it but i guess i still won't read it again twice.
people who likes sweet shojo stories and light-happy stories will like this but in other hand to others it could be too light and boring to stress with feelings and person's problems. This is story about friendship and sweet love.

Bakuman manga

Hello!

I just read Bakuman manga's first book. Well i have read it before but this time i saw it in bookstore and wanted to buy it and comment. Story is written by Tsugumi Ohba and art by Takeshi Obata so only this promises good story and art. Death note is maybe their most famous work and i think Bakuman isn't worse.
Story tells about two students who wants to be a mangaka and so basically story is about their life as creators. Yea i know that may sounds like pretty boring when you think about mangaka's life behind desk but actually it's not boring.
Story has many twists even in book one and i can tell you it gets even better when you read it more. Actually it also gives many things to interest like: know about how manga is made and published, drama and love. One thing that pops out from "ordinary" is how minimalist the story, art and ideas are. Art is very realistically drawn and from every backround to little pen are very well drawn as in real life. This minimalistic perfection doesn't end to art it also is in the story. Every idea and thing about manga is realistic and really excisting in real life too like the publisher Jump. Bakuman also refers to very much real life manga and criticises and comments about those and how manga is created from a start to finishing. This serie also gives useful information about creation like comment about how swords are very liked in these days in Jump.
For those who doesn't like so much discover world of manga they can consentrate to original type of love beatween characters.
If i need to say anything bad about this manga i would say Ohba and Obata's mangas has always very much text and dialogue so it's sometimes hard to read. Also for those who doesn't want to read story about creation this may be little boring and hard to understand eventhough the art makes it more faster and interesting that you could imagine when you read what the story is about.
I really recoment this serie cladly! :D
