Henjin Henkutsu Retsuden

I read this manga by chance، I was looking for a short historical manga that deserve reading. so when when i saw the the author i said " this is a famous one، you must give it a try". In addition، the plot was very interesting. so I start reading and what can I say? it is very enjoyable.

this manga is a Collection of short stories or let’s say " mini biography" of famous character who were known to have bizzare Attitude، habbit، behaviour. like the the violent behaviour of the baseball legend، or the weird ideas by the genious tisla ...etc. different poeple from diffrent generations who have bizarre personages.

actually، this manga was very enjoyable for me when iam reading it because this is the first time i heared about those poeple and to be honestly i was shoked when i saw " this is true stories" XD

I think araki-sensei write a good manga which deserve a try from you. the only problem might you have is the Art. araki sensei have Unique style which may distort you at the begining but after several bages you’ll like it

so what you waiting for?! if you a seinen-historical fan then this piece surley fit you. you will like it beliefe me XD

Lives of Eccentrics (or Henjin Henkutsu Retsuden) delves on the common theme of eccentricity and weirdness of humanity in Hirohiko Araki's works, this time through a series of small biographies about different famous eccentrics like the severely neurotic genius inventor Nikola Tesla and several other bizarre individuals that have left their mark in our history.

The art varies greatly through the course of the manga seeing how the gap between the release of the chapters has been so long. The series starts with the style Araki used in his early career while drawing Phantom Blood and is therefore a great example of the author's artistic evolution. All in all it's as enjoyable as Araki's art always is with it's grand amount of detail.

Despite it's shortness it's an enjoyable read for any fan of Hirohiko Araki's works, giving further insight to Araki's views about cherishing the eccentricity of humanity even if it sometimes is painful to be different.
