Akumetsu 's review

[Story 9/10] At first glance the story seems pretty basic. A character that proclaims himself to be the "savior" because he wipes out what he sees as evil. As the story progresses though you see that the main character actually knows that what he's doing would be considered "evil" and that there are other ways to change the government besides what he's doing, but he wants to change the government himself and his methods are the only way he knows how to do it. That course of action is what takes place through the majority of the manga. Along the way the dynamic parts of the characters are shown and you get to see a little bit of their development, and then the series closes with all of your questions resolved. (Or at least all of mine were) Which in my opinion is one of the best ways to end a manga. Complete closure, and not much left to the imagination except for what the characters will do next.

[Art 10/10] I haven't read all that many different types of manga especially seinen to be able to critique the art so don't take this part of the review seriously. Honestly I hardly even pay attention to backgrounds and such, but I would know that if there were no backgrounds the manga would look rather empty. My main focus art-wise in on the characters. To me though, out of all the manga I have read this has been some of the best art I've seen. I really really liked it.

[Character 10/10] I really enjoyed each and every character and how they were really humanized. You could relate with all of them even all the way down to Shou who just wants to help his country out in the only way he knows how. Then back up to the policeman who is trying to stop Akumetsu, but has to deal with the "politics" of law enforcement that hinder him from doing his job.

[Enjoyment 8/10] Now of course I've been giving this manga pretty high marks but I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. Mostly because the world of politics is mostly unknown to me so bringing Japanese politics into that is even worse. The author tried to give the most dumbed down explanations he could, but even then most of the political aspects of this manga really went over my head, which really takes away from the intensity and enjoyment that could be had from reading it. I still gathered the main idea and some of the more simpler explanations though so it still gets pretty high marks from me.

[Overall 9/10] Honestly this is a really great manga and if I could understand maybe 80% of the political aspects in this manga it would be a masterpiece to me. Still, it's a great work of art and I would recommend this to everyone I know. Yeah it gets pretty gory (it's seinen), but politics aren't pretty. So I would imagine changing an entire country's politics would be very very ugly.
