Graphic Novel (Manga) Review

So, I received my copy of Vassalord last week and finished it the following day. So, what can I say about it. Loved it!

Now with that being said let me clear up a few things. I love Vassalord because of the relationship between Charley and Rayflo but for me there wasn’t enough about them in this volume. I mean their in it and all but the story is starting to take another turn which I believe will tie back into the true identity of Johnny Rayflo but there wasn’t much interaction between Charley and Rayflo like it was in Vassalord Volume 1.

Volume 2 is basically a continuation of Volume 1, Chapter 2 Hierocles’ Delusion. Remember that chapter was about the slimy vampire priest Kazan, well that’s kind of where Volume 2 picks up but it’s now dealing with another character(s) and turning them into vampires.

We also have reoccurring characters: Cheryl is back along with a Rayfell. The small boy in the wheel church, Charley helped during the Neo Union Church gather is back (volume 1, chapter 2), and so is that rude cop (he a little less rude).

Then there is another story in the manga called Zoul Half which has nothing to do with Vassalord. It has different characters and a different story. I kind of wish more time had been spent on more Cherry and Rayflo stories but oh well.

I’ll try to get Chapter 4 up as quickly as I can. I had eye surgery last month so my eyes are still adjusting and I have to limit my time reading and staring at the computer screen for the time being (but I couldn’t let it stop me from reading this Volume. I know it was probably not in my best interest to do so but hey I couldn’t wait any longer to read it).

Well, until then
Take care!

Less than a week away for the release of Vassalord Volume 2. I can’t wait, can’t wait. In the meantime I’ve been finding it hard to pick another great manga to read. There are just so many to choose from. I’m up for any suggestions. What manga are you reading now or plan to read soon?

I’m always checking out Amazon’s best sellers list to get an idea of what’s hot but I haven’t been able to pull the trigger on purchasing any yet.

I’ve really enjoyed most of the ones I’ve read so far but I feel I have a way to go to be like other avid manga readers like Samantha and other readers whose sites I stumble up on, on the net.

I have thought about reading the volumes online instead of waiting until they become available in stores but it’s the waiting and anticipation of opening a new, fresh, crisp manga that gets me really excited and stops me from reading volumes online. It’s like a roller coast: finishing one volume is like climbing up the highest point of the ride but getting that newly release manga and reading it is like the thrilling ride down the hill. Ahh the butterflies and fun!

Oh well, that’s just me rambling . . . maybe I’ll give reading manga online a try someday, at least to see if I like a particular story or characters before making the actual purchase. Just a thought.

If you happen to have suggestions on entertaining relationship based manga that you’re currently reading, have read in the past or plan to read in the future post below. I’m always looking for the next entertaining story until my favs become available to buy.

Happy reading!
