Sommaire
Within an abandoned building in South Korea lies a white coffin, from which rises Cadis Etrama Di Raizel "Rai"—an unimaginably beautiful, dignified, and noble man. Awakening in this unknown time, Rai must seek out someone he can trust—his loyal companion, Frankenstein. To begin with, Rai attempts to blend into human society by transforming his old-fashioned clothing into the pristine blazer of the nearby Ye Ran High School. As it turns out, the principal of the school is his servant Frankenstein.

After slumbering for the past 820 years, Rai requires Frankenstein's help to adapt to the current age, so Frankenstein enrolls him as a new student in order to help him understand modern society and experience a normal life. Frankenstein's plans, however, soon go awry not only because of the problems stemming from modern society, but also unresolved conflicts from him and his master's troubled past. Left with no other choice, Rai must resort to using his mysterious power to protect those he holds dear.

Hey, first time rater, but why not?

This manhwa is nothing like described in the synopsis. School life? Pft, not really. But forget about the synopsis. This is a must read manga with its own feel.

Story: 8
The story is a bit repetitive at the beginning yet as you go more in it gets better and better. The setting is school at the start, and this is the point where the cycle gets a little repetitive, but is finally stopped after some time. Also the character that were supportive at the beginning, became filler later on, which is quite a disappointment

Art:9
I'm not the one to judge the art, but for me as long as the story can convey it's jokes and atmosphere, its fine by me. A 9 is for some closeups of faces, sometimes fails to convey emotions

Characters and Relationships:9
Now this is the point where it is starting to get interesting, as the characters aren't the usual ones. The MC is already one of the strongest characters in the whole story (Which I hope is not a Spoiler), and as he is very close to being immortal, you can say that it's not his character that evolves throughout the story, its the worlds that develops around him. He doesn't have any huge change in character, but he is one badass MC. -1 for no romance (except ultimate bromance)

Enjoyment: 10
The atmosphere in this manhwa can be changed from extremely heavy to light in a matter of seconds, and its humor should be extremely appreciated.


Overall I must say, this is a must read manga and I would recommend it to m friends (If I had any)

A commendable 8.5

I first discovered Noblesse on Youtube through the Japanese adaptation of this Korean manhwa, which was great by the way. The theme, story, and characters definitely caught my attention and curiosity to look up some more of it. That's how I ended up reading this manhwa.

My first impression of the art was not too great, it looked simplistic I thought, but as each chapter left me wanting to read more, the art definitely improves later on. Nearly all characters have a thorough background story while the writer reveals it at a good pace as the story progresses. Character development is definitely there, and as for the villains, they don't feel random as they all contribute to the bigger plot.

What impresses me most is how the writer and artist are able to make me laugh out loud while the previous panel left me in tears. Every single panel had perfectly emphasized either action, drama, tension, humor, ... There was a good balance in all of that. Never got the story boring since both writer and artist knew when and how to throw in a joke. Another reason why you'd love Noblesse are the bonds shipped between the characters after so many hardships and (superb) battles. Every character has its own personality and role in the group that completes it for you.

I didn't want to go too much in detail, so these were some of the aspects I wanted to point out. But I highly recommend people to read it themselves to find out why Noblesse is an amazing piece of work and in no doubt a page turner!

I picked up this manhwa a few months ago because a lot of my friends were raving on about this nonstop and I saw this being on the top 30 manhwas in MAL.

Noblesse is that manhwa where everybody hypes up to be the THING. But for me, it's just a shounen manhwa bordering between a 7 and an 8 on the first half and a 5 or a 6 in the second half.

I will admit, even if the art is a bit average to say the least(as far as Korean manhwas go), I can say it's slightly distinct against the cesspool of average works in the same genre.

The arcs go up and down(up, meaning slightly average, down meaning average as hell) and I had to will my horny on main self to keep reading it till the end for me to make some sort of opinion about it. It was a very arduous journey to self control from reading Tower of God for the umpteenth time.

Before we move on, I will preface by saying I actually enjoyed reading Noblesse, before it devolved into a painfully average piece of work. I like the way it delivers dry humor and the character designs were actually really good.


My biggest gripe about this manhwa is the fact that the dialogues are very tongue and cheek, a pain to read and are unnecessarily long. We readers don't need to hear their monologues for the millionth time. We get it, you love humans at the point of sacrificing yourself. The author only needs to put that in our face once.

I tested the waters and read 5 chapters without skipping or skimming any dialogues and my god I never would've thought to be more bored than having to survive a day on a blackout.

And it took me 1 hour to read it all.

But my efforts weren't wasted for nothing as I realized at that point that nobody needs to read all of these; they're the same thing repasted and the characters always repeat themselves. I would appreciate it more if the boring dialogues and expositions be paired with some visualization, like what Nisio isin did with the manga adaptation of bakemonogatari. This is awful writing on it's finest and it is disheartening that not many people noticed that. Might as well write a novel if the author wanted to and it wouldn't make any difference.

The second thing I noticed that the manhwa delivered awfully is the characters. We have raizel, the handsome Kuudere bae that I really wanted to like because of that quirky personality of his, but the execution of Raizel in the manhwa just fell flat the more I think about the character. Instead of making him this reserved and cool character, he's a one dimensional character that was eventually downgraded to a boring deus ex machina.

Frankenstein is a henchman of Raizel and I can't seem to grasp why he submitted himself to Raizel at first sight. A good reason for this is the fujoshi fanbase. I never realized I read a whole fujo bait piece of work without even realizing it.

Tae-soo's dynamic with Ken Kitano was way more believable than Frank's and Raizel, to be honest. Both dynamics are surface level, but there was way more character in the former the more we see them having a conversation. Whereas Raizel's speech bubble were mainly composed of trails of periods.

I don't need to go over all the characters because of how forgettable they are. The orange haired guy is basically beta -Itadori(from Jujutsu Kaisen). Apart from him, all others were very very forgettable.

The art quality is a gradually evolving thing you see in mangas where the artist uses his/her work to improve his/her skills because it is a weekly release. This in itself is a double edged sword because 1) One can appreciate that this artist wouldn't settle for less but 2) it's very hard, as a reader, to go back to that scene in the first chapters. That's kinda why I never would want to read the first 50 chapters of Tower of God regardless of how good the story is. The moment I see a butt ugly panel of Endorsi my Waifu, that's where I draw the line.

And then... There's the plot progression.

I already mentioned before that I preferred the first half(<chapter 250 and below) rather than the second half.

Here's why...

The way that the manhwa ended in a semi-cliffhanger didn't sit well with me. Not to mention, it ended in a flash and I was never given the chance to absorb what was going on. It's not a cliffhanger as much as it's an open ended one. The only resolution we get is the bad guy dying and that's it(I won't get to too much spoilers).

But that's not the only problem I had with the second half. I also mentioned before about the lame ass dialogue of the characters; they all happened on the second half. At that point, they were just spouting nonsense over and over again that those were the times when I repeatedly put this manhwa on hold.

Also forgot mention that on the second part, the manhwa took itself too seriously and there was no point on getting invested to anything: to the characters nor to the story. The comedy skits they used always do in the beginning were just thrown away and the first human character to appear in the first chapter (and his friends) were downgraded to mob characters until the last chapter.


Plotwise, I could not remember a single thing about the second half and I won't bother to remember it. The formulaic pattern I remembered was: bad guys appear and wreak havoc, good guys are notified, big battle commences, bad guys defeated. It was rinse and repeat until the last big battle and the finale flopped.

Tldr: Noblesse is a decent manhwa until the second half where everything just flopped. I'm not gonna stop you from reading it, but if you want a manhwa that structured its story and characters very well even in the long run, read tower of god. You won't regret it.

Actually, I didn't want to read it at first. I usually watch animes so it was my first time reading mangas and I've only read japanese ones since the animes I've watched are Japanese too. The story was of a vampire awakening after years put to sleep and so on so it didn't catch my attention. To be real I thought it was lame! I mean,I only started reading the first chapter and I saw scenes of a vampire "awakening" and then bad guys killing humans and I though "Oh this is gonna be boring...Vampires attacking humans,humans trying to save themselves..." It was just way to ordinary for me since I've read a lot of books with similar storyline and so I wanted something more exciting.

What kept me reading was the wonderful art along with the amusing characters portraying and also the title(I know it sound weird but "Noblesse" sounded really cool to me)! Yeah I'm weird...

But as I got deeper into the story it became more unpredictable, more interesting, more amusing...more.... I stayed all night reading and I didn't even notice when the morning came.

What's amazing about this manga is that you fall in love with the characters!They are not only "good" or "bad".Behind the bad characters there are sad stories,some were forced to become bad and the traitors (this is what I like the most) do not commit treachery just because they wanted power,but because they either got humiliated or they felt only used!Sometimes I would space out imagining how the next chapters are gonna be.

Also, I loved it more because the fights. They are filled with emotion, amazing portrait of characters ability and what I liked more was that the fights don't last really long. You know, I usually get bored seeing two opponents fight each other 100 times and then in the end the good beats the bad with only releasing a grater amount of power. But,in Noblesse the opponents usually change in the middle of a battle. There are interruptions, new characters etc. And the battle doesn't last,like,70 chapters! It is shorter and after every win or lose there are new companions and new enemies.

And,in every awkward/tense/very sad/frightening moment-there is a funny scene that lights up your mood and makes you keep reading more! As I told you,the personalities of the characters are amazing,they are not to funny-nor to serious.

The best part is that the manga does not keep only one style of joking! You know like "clumsiness'' or "overeacting" of the characters... The change the way they make a situation funny frequently. I highly recommend it. I've hated every action anime/manga but I'm completely in love with this one. I can't wait for chapter 287 to be translated (it just came out yesterday).

First of all, I would like to clear this is not a manga, it's a manhwa(Korean comic). And I am totally in love with this series.

First reason of my unbound love for "Noblesse" is because of the beautiful art. Author has done an awesome work to express each character's emotion and expression. For an example anyone will fall in love after seeing Rai's(the leading character) handsome face, narrow eyes and pride full expression.
I remember the day when I started reading this story, I was totally shocked when I first saw Rai. Oh my gosh! what a handsome person. Not only the main character, all other characters are really well drawn.

Second and the most important reason is the strong story line. Noblesse is not a average vampire story or some happy-go-lucky love story. This is about vampires, who are known as Nobles. They are powerful, prideful and very kind towards the powerless human beings. They think its their duty to protect humans.
As time changes some Noble started doubting their resolution towards humans that "Do humans really need our protection?" Or "it's us who are being left behind by the humans". A fantastic, action packed fiction story with scenes of war between human created mutants, nobles and werewolves. If you are a fan of supernatural creatures with school drama, then this is the right series for you. Go ahead and have a wonderful experience of royalty, nobility and outstanding world of fantasy.

Character Description:
Let's discuss about some of the main characters or you can say my favourite characters.
Cadis Etrama Di Raizel aka Rai: As I mentioned before, he is the elegant leading character of the series.The one who is known as the Noblesse. A highly noble being, who has the authorization over the nobles. He is NOT the lord but a being who symbolizes the power of nobles. He is both being feared and respected by al other nobles.

Frankenstein: He is Rai's loyal servant. As the name suggests, he is legendary immortal human "Frankenstein: the mad scientist". The thing I like most about him is his pure devotion towards his master and his fearless attitude. Aside of that in personal life he is just a cleaning freak, who doesn't like people to mess with his house. He loves his master so much that, if any thing happens to him, he goes crazy.

Han Shinwoo: The first human being to be friends with Rai at Yeran high school. He is a human who doesn't fear anything. He always helps people
around him. This character is very famous for his extraordinary athletic agility.

Woo Ik-Han: A genius hacker and one of the students of Yeran high. He is also a close friend of Rai.

Seira J. Loyard: She is one of the current leaders of the Lukedonia(The place where nobles live). She is one of the tenants of FRANKESTEIN'S household and a student of Yeran hgh.

Regis K. Landegre: He is one noble of Lukedonia, who stays at Frankestein's house and goes to Yeran high

Muzaka: The former werewolf lord and closest friend of Rai.

Erga Kenesis Di Raskreia: She is the current "Lord of Vampire". She is the strong lady who rules over nobles of Lukedonia.

There are so many characters and arcs, which I can't describe here. Over all I love this series. I am going to continue my reading. Hope this review is helpful to you...

i think because of this series i enjoy web comic even more. at first i read it just to research for my art references but it turned out its pretty fun!

*may contains a bit spoiler!

to be honest i hate this kinda vampire werewolf twilight thingy for a story, but i think the characters make it pretty great, especially Rai, i thought he would be a cold bloddy arrogant lead but turned out he's just a dorky old fart that's forever hot.

story [8/10] i still in the middle of reading, the story is really exciting at first but the more i read it it's just plainy and fairly kind or repitition from the other arc just with a different plot and villain. it's still interesting for me and what i like the most is the comedy is always on point. i thought it was more like this serious gloomy comic but actually damn hilarious.

Art [9/10] Character [8/10]
i still prefer classic comic with b&w and screen tones but this one is pretty well drawn. esp the action scene is easy to follow. the traits for the main character are very interesting, the whole relationship quite good, itt's just why bunch of good looking guy are grouped together and then you have the villain as ugly as possible. well i think it's quite hard to make an ugly character but well loved.

and overall [8/10] it's not that bad, it's quite good story to read when you feel bored, but for a long running series i think it's a bit lacking on variation. but it's worth it, you'll at least enjoy the series!

This manhwa is amazing. What you expect is your typical vampire and school life combination, but it is so much more than that. There are things in Noblesse that I've never seen before in any other manga, manhwa, or anime.

Story: 8
It's a bit hard to judge the entire storyline (at this point I'm all caught up with the 382 chapters), but I'll try. In the beginning, Noblesse tried to conform to a specific genre or two, but that soon disintegrated after 70 chapters or so. There was next to no action before the 70 chapter mark and I was actually considering dropping it...and then Rai and Frankenstein finally made their move. That alone kept me hooked. In later chapters, Noblesse does a great job of weaving in small details that become significant later; always pay attention to those little panels of great art and no dialogue, because those are usually the most important.

Art: 10
Though the art underwent an evolution process, it always looked pretty good. At times there are slightly disproportional eyes, faces, etc. but the artist has been having health issues as of late. There is a wide range of colors used on characters as well as unique character designs (and there are a bunch of minor characters and villains). The artist is fantastic at drawing facial expressions.

Character: 8
My main beef here is with the villains. They are all insanely arrogant, stupid, sensitive, and believe in using brute force to accomplish everything. In every new villain posse there's the large, irrational, strong guy, the mean member, and the strongest one who keeps saying how he's so strong that he doesn't feel the need to fight. Bleh.
The main and minor characters undergo development throughout the story. Can't really say much more than that without spoiling anything, but it's amazing how complex their relationships are. On a side note, Rai is like a little fortune cat or a magic eight ball that holds the answers to everything.

Enjoyment: 10
So fun to read. The smooth flow of the story, great art, and likable characters made me read several chapters a day.

Overall: 10
You should of course watch this :)
Good job~
