Noblesse
Been having a lot of strange vivid dreams lately. :| Just goes to show you how exhausted I am. At least they're all pretty interesting and keep me thinking long after I've been awake. No nightmares though!
Anyway... IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. A long time since I've done a manga review and a long time since I've been like *SQUEEFANGIRL* about characters.
Been reading Noblesse, a online Korean Manhwa. I usually don't like a lot of Manhwa, not because I'm biased and like Japanese Manga better, but I usually just don't like the story telling as much. But this is a refreshing exception!
Summary taken from Manga Fox: He awakens. For 820 years he has slumbered with no knowledge of mankind's advancements and scientific successes. The land which he once knew has become an unfamiliar place with new technologies, attitudes, and lifestyles. Cadis Etrama Di Raizel (aka Rai), while seeking to familiarize himself with this era, somehow locates a loyal servant of his, Frankenstein, who is currently the principal of a South Korean high school. Rai decides that this high school would be the perfect place to help him learn about the new world. He enrolls, and suddenly becomes the friend of Shinwoo, an immature teenager who is also a master martial artist. But this new world is no safer than the old, and the dignified, bewildered, technologically illiterate Rai finds himself caught up in adventures both ridiculous and dangerous.
The art and story are absolutely superb *v* Did I mention the art is like... GORGEOUS? Seriously, ): why isn't this guy professional. I mean, the art is just amazingly well done for an online comic.
And it contains a lot of absolutely GORGEOUS MEN? All said men having adorable quirky traits while looking really damn fine. They make me squirm at how lovable they are x3! Ahahaha! *shot* But yes, I found the characters to be very likable, personality and design wise.
The concept and story is interesting too, however there are a fair amount of plot holes, however they don't make the story confusing. Lots of beautifully drawn battle scenes too, although they take up a fair portion of the story. I like the balance between the story, battles and humor. It makes Noblesse a very interesting read.
Anyway, please check it out! I highly recommend it :D
I'm getting the overwhelming urge to do fanart xD!
