Dawn: Tsumetai Te

In the begining, I kept confusing side characters and it was hard to get into but once I figured out the rhythm of the story I started to enjoy myself. The story line itself is good, the main character is battling with the world around him and killing the "monsters" while having to deal with his own personal crisis of being a "monster" himself. There is love in it but it is not sappy "puppy love" nor is it lustful like so many romance novels. The love is woven well into the story and at some points it is very noticeable and sometimes it takes a backseat to other problems the characters are dealing with.

This story can be hard to get into but once you do its a masterpiece. The main characters' struggle with killing monsters while simultaneously becoming one himself is beautifully written. As the story continues you wonder who you can trust around the protagonist. The art is beautifully done and adds to the horror elements in the storyline perfectly. While it's technically a horror manga the psychological aspects in the plot are topnotch and really make you feel for the characters. The romance in the story is neither sappy nor lustful but develops like a normal relationship would (or as normal as it can during the story's plot). Oneof the top horror mangas that I love to reread.
