PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON"T CALL THIS A MANGA. IT'S A MANWHA. MANGA is for japanese comics, manwha is for korean comics got it? That said...let me just start by saying that the art is gorgeous and the story is great too. As always I'm going to ignore everyone who's saying that they're instantly reminded of D. Gray Man because I have no interest and/or have not read watched the manga or the anime. March Story and Jack Frost are my favorite manwha so far. Beware though, March Story has a ton of gore but it is beautifully drawn gore I've ever seen. It almost feelsreal. Overall I really enjoy March Story! If you enjoy it too please support it by buying the volumes! There's already four volumes out and I don't know if more volumes will come out or not but I really hope they do because March Story is fantastic!!!
Among the quiet villages and towns of 18th century Europe, demons known as the Ill hide within the most beautiful works of art, sparked to life by the torment of their creators. Attracted by their jewel-like allure, the unwary find themselves possessed by the Ill and driven to horrific acts of violence. Only the hunters of the Ciste Vihad can dispel the Ill. March is one such hunter, tracking the Ill from town to town to find the antiques that contain the demons before they can possess anyone. If the worst has come to pass, March's full powers are unleashed to battle the fiendish Ill. Born of tragedy, the artifacts all have their own tales to tell, as do each of their victims. But March's story may be the most tragic of all. (Source: VIZ Media)
#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
