Hansu no kikan is a coloured manga happening at the end of the second world war. It follows the adventures of a group of german soldiers and civilian trying to flee the soviets to surrender to the americans in the west. Under it's simple apparence with animal like characters Hansu no Kikan shows a more subtle and darker side with the horrors happening at the end of WW2. Story: 7/10 A good and simple story having alot of historical informations but still suffering from the 3 chapters format. A bit too simple also. Art: 7/10 At the first having colours and a more comic like aspect canbe weird but it gets better ince you are drawn in by the story. Characters: 8/10 for what it is a simple manga with only 3 chapters and simple characters. Enjoyement: 9/10 Because i really like historical mangas centered around ww2 this might not be the same for everyone but the historical accuracy and simple characters made it a good read. Overall: If you have some spare time and like historical mangas this will surely satisfy you.
The story begins near Berlin, Germany at the end of W.W. II. Hans, a German chief tank mechanic, and his commanding officer are racing west toward the American front lines. They hope to surrender to the US forces and escape capture by the approaching Russian Army. While traveling on foot, they discover an abandoned German Panzer IV tank near a large mansion. Hans attempts to repair the Panzer as his commanding officer heads for the mansion in search of provisions. There he discovers Rosa, a German girl; her elderly grandmother; and her dog, Gustav. Fearful for their safety, he convinces them to accompany Hans and himself on their journey West. Hans is successful in bringing the tank back to life, and they make their escape just as the Russian troops close in. More adventure and perhaps even romance will follow Hans and his companions as their story unfolds.
