Code Geass is my absolute all-time favorite anime, so when I heard that they were going to make a manga out of it, I was actually excited to read it. Boy was I disappointed. Parts of the plot were, of course, tweaked, but the thing is, I love the anime because of all those scenes. It would've been more enjoyable if they just stuck with the anime's plot and added some extra scenes here and there. But no. My disappointment came crashing down onto me the moment the truck crash was changed into a plane crash. Most of the tweaks they did to the plot wereprobably for convenience and whatnot, but it really drained me and stressed me out. Not to mention the fact that Lelouch is literally my favorite character out of every character I like. They really let me down just like that. I also prefer the anime's art style way more compared to this manga's style. It just took out the character's iconic traits. This was just so underwhelming that, although I have always been a huge, huge fan of the anime, I would not give this manga a second chance.
Lelouch Lamperouge is a Britannian student living in Area 11, the land that was once known as the country of Japan. In 2010, the small island nation was invaded and stripped of its identity by the powerful Holy Britannian Empire. After witnessing the crash of a military transport plane, Lelouch wanders into the midst of a restricted area in order to investigate the wreckage. His journey is cut short when patrolling Britannian soldiers threaten to execute him for trespassing. Fortunately, he is saved by the sole survivor of the crash: a mysterious woman named C.C. who he found confined in the plane's cargo. She grants Lelouch the power of Geass, a supernatural ability that demands the absolute obedience of those it is used upon, making his commands undefiable. Now armed with devastating power, Lelouch assumes the persona of the revolutionary figure Zero, vowing to obliterate the accursed Britannian Empire and those who once wronged him many years ago.
