07-Ghost

This is a wonderful manga that I think has enough action to appeal to some shounen fans as well as those (like me!) who love anything supernatural with a complex storyline and gorgeous pretty men. It’s not explicitly shounen ai I don’t think but there’s plenty there for the boys-love fans to read into. I get majorly excited whenever there’s a cool beautiful baddie and we get one entering the frame pretty much straightaway - and then the plot thickens with a sometimes quite bewildering complex array of characters, with multiple motivations and alliances. I really enjoyed the fantasy worldthe mangaka creates – it’s quite involved and intricate and yep you might have to find yourself taking notes in order to work out what’s going on ☺ Really great and I was sorry to come to the end.

With the unexpected turn of events, Teito is an escaping convict who is being pursued by the military of Barsburg Empire. He receives refuge in the church at District 7. This church according to the legends is protected by 7 Ghosts. As long as Teito stays withinthe church, the military of Barsburg cannot get their hands on him due to District 7’s law of sanctuary. As the story develops we come to know that there are two powerful stones – Eyes of Raphael and Eyes of Mikhail. The royal family of Kingdom of Raggs possessed the Eyes of Mikhail while the Eyes of Raphael was held by Barsburg Empire. Several years ago, the Barsburg Empire had broken a pact and decimated the Kingdom of Raggs to seize the Eyes of Mikhail. Teito is the last descendant of the royal family of Kingdom of Raggs, and possesses the Eyes of Mikhail without his knowledge.With his best friend Mikage now dead, the military after his life and Kor after his soul, Teito needs to unlock the mysteries of his past with the help of 7 Ghosts. The plot seemed to be complex with a lot of characters in play. It is blend of Magic, Religion, Military, Church, Friendship, and Revenge. Readers need to go through the story slowly and steadily to enjoy it. I recommend this to readers who are 18+ due to the complex nature of the plot.

I loved the characters in the manga, they were all unique and had interesting. As for the plot it was good throughout the begining and middle but I felt that the end was a bit rushed and confusing, with random info kinda just thrown at you, and while that was a theme with the flashbacks throughout the manga it wasn't as rushed and while some of the early flashbacks didn't make scense in some parts at first it did still work since the readers were learning with teito as he gained his memories, and with the info later continued in the story. But because thebig fight and conclusion were only in the final couple chapters everything got wrapped up to quickly, with some parts of the main character's backstory or the side character's info feeling like it just got jammed in as an after thought to quickly explain something. (akanami's past, and who of akanami's subordanates survived, ect.) So over all a good overall manga that is brought down a bit by a to abrupt ending.

I usually don't review unless I really enjoyed it enough that I have to get the rest of the world to watch it as well. This was my first manga I ever finished. I finished the anime first, since I'm more of a anime person, then went to the manga and read it all. Now, I'll just say that I've tried that with MANY animes, saw them, then tried to read their mangas. Most of them didn't draw me in. I know, I'm missing out. It's like comparing a movie to a book, but still. Anyways, my point is, this was AMAZING! I literally pulledan all-nighter just to finish it, and when I did, I wanted to cry, because I didn't know what to do with my life anymore. The story was amazing. For those of you that watched the anime, it pretty much follows the story line, with some extra things. But I loved the concept. Teito was just so adorable! The art was pretty good as well! The military clothes are so PRETTYYYYY. Also, the characters were so amazing. They really are a bunch of colorful, amazing, people that bring 07-ghost to life. Te bad guys, I hated, but learned to accept, and Teito and his friends, I was cheering them on the whole time. I enjoyed this so much! As I said before, I didn't sleep for this, it was that good. Overall, I loved it. he lessons in 07 Ghost were DEEP. And the ending was just so amazing. I'm going to go sit in my fan-girl corner and freak out about it again. Thanks for reading~
