My Favorite Manga

Descendants of Darkness:

The one that started it all :) I saw the cover to Volume 1 during high school when one of my friends was reading it. The artwork is beautiful and the storyline is full of suspense and action. I also enjoy the supernatual aspects of the series and discovering the past histories of the characters.

Seiichiro Tatsumi, who is working as Chief Konoe's secretary, is my favorite character. He is constantly worried about money and efficiency and scares most of the employees of the Ministry of Hades when they're slacking off. He seems very cold-hearted, but he is really caring and will do anything to protect his friends. He has the powers of a Shinigami as well as having the power to manipulate shadows.

I also enjoy reading about Asato Tsuzuki, who the main protagonist of the series. Although he provides much of the comic relief to the story, he is a skilled and powerful agent with 12 Shikigami that work under him. He always does things for the good of others and conceals a very troubled past.

On the other side, Kazutaka Muraki has to be one of the most twisted villains I have stumbled across while reading manga or watching anime. He's obsessive, perverted, and manipulative, covering up his evil nature by pretending to be a doctor. Yes, I really enjoy keeping up with this character because there is such depth to his character.



Godchild: Something tells me I saw this as an advertisement in the back either a La Corda D'Oro or a Vampire Knight book. The artwork is decent - it definitely isn't my favorite, but the dark storyline and the unique characters make up for it.

I also read Fullmetal Alchemist, La Corda D'Oro, and Vampire Knight. My thoughts on those are in the previous anime post.
