March Story

#THIS REVIEW SPOILS THE FIRST VOLUME OF THE SERIES From the artist that drew Shin Angyo Onshi comes another pretty stellar work with beautiful artwork just like it. A Gothic Fantasy work. The series is about a women dressed as a man going around performing Exorcism. She removes the ILL (The bad thing) from a person's body. These Exorcists call themselves Ciste Vihad. The series is mostly Episodic. Being about each different ILL per chapter. There is an overarching story involving the FMC's past and the main villain (who keeps running after claiming having only 1 health point remaining). But thats the beginning and the endof the story. The good part about this manga is the art and sense of style the artist has put into his work. Each character is unique but has personality and charm. There are a lot of stellar monster, unique situations and city designs that really bring out the manga. This being drawn by Shin angyo onshi author i expected this much but it still has some insane top notch quality. The writing is also really good, with some good Gut punching moments thrown in there. A lot of the characters have romantic reasoning within them which did feel a bit too simple but there is so much style and dramatic moments for me to gloss it over. I think the biggest issue this series had was how there was too much female nudity. Yup too much boobs.... The series is hard to take seriously when the villain's naked D cups are bouncing around. There is also some Tonal issues with this series. Its a good serious series. But i felt like it at times it kept trying to be a somewhat campy series as well. Instead of settling on one it kept shifting back and forth. The ending also felt too anti-climatic. There should've been more drama and a better way on how everything was resolved. Despite these issues i still enjoyed this series. Its a Gothic Fantasy series so it has an insane amount of Dark EDGY fests thrown in there. TLDR: Art is great, the story is a little unmemorable but its still better than most of the stuff i read. Being 5 volumes you can blow through this in an hour. 7/10
