The work was performed by Kentaro Miura and was produced in 1985 before the great work Berserk .. Berserk has enormous similarities to Noa at the level of art but also style. Who likes Berserk certainly will like Noa! Brief introduction of the story The Noa work, tells of a world very similar to ours, but much more advanced in technology! taking into account the one shot after three days will open a portal that will lead them to salvation. The main character will find a young woman named Angel who is in trouble, the two continue the adventure together, but before reaching the gate something happens andNoah became "the savior Noa" a final epic, sad and witty! (In my opinion kentaro Miura should continue this magnificent One shot) Now talking about my opinion about the work I think the art is well crafted, the story has a very good design, the characters are very full, getting the idea on the personality type of each character, Noa is extremely amazing and a strong personality (as Gatts of Berserk). In conclusion is an original story, action-packed with a powerful main character! Loved Overall Score: 7
Fifteen days following the final war in the Gobi Desert, the desolate biome has become nearly impossible to survive in. With the last flight off of the planet departing in four days, the few remaining survivors struggle to make their way to the port and catch the final flight. Although Jay and Ellen only have three more days of travel before they reach the port, Ellen is beginning to reach her limit as their rations run out. Determined to make sure they both make it out alive, Jay decides to scour an old colony wreckage for supplies. Elsewhere, a woman named Angel Reagan finds herself offering her body to a group of savage men in exchange for some water for her younger sister. Just as things are about to intensify, the men are brutally murdered in front of her eyes by a man with a body made of metal. Introducing himself as Noah, the "hero" indiscriminately kills any hostile force against him, much to Angel's dismay. But Noah's moral reasoning for his actions slowly becomes clear for Angel the longer they spend time in an environment that brings out the worst in humanity. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
This one-shot is the debut work of Miura, author most well known for his renowned work Berserk (1989). I mostly recommend this manga for fans of the author Miura (especially Berserk readers). The art style is very detailed, but it simply doesn't look good to me personally. His art has improved a lot over the years and the art in this one-shot was a very good start, especially for his age at the time. It was fun to see how the strength of Miura's character writing was visible at such a young age already. The characters are more complicated than it seems at first. Thecharacters are also what makes it an enjoyable read as the setting is just a vague post-apocalyptical war. The fun of the one-shot is the characters within them. The way they think, handle and react on situation at hand.
