Nurarihyon no Mago Manga Review

Rikuo Nura, is part human and a quarter Youkai (demon), lives in a house full of spirits along with his grandfather. Trying to escape his fate of acting like a demon, he does good deeds in order to avoid becoming one. Despite his grandfather's wish to succeed him as master of the Nura youkai clan. He eventually comes to terms with his demon blood and decides to once again take up the position of Young head of the Nura house. Multiple factions aim to stop him or overtake his position. He plans to gather a new Hyakki Yakō under his "Fear".

I recommend the manga, Nurarihyon no Mago because it is very hit of anime in Japan! is This manga is shonen manga with supernatural genre. I think that it is good storyline when it delivery the horror comedy so I enjoyed to learn about the lots of Japanese myths and legends are related with youkai. This mange make the different of type youkai are fighting with human, spirit, and onmyouji when Half Youkai of Rikuo faced the enemies in his journey...

You will figure about how Rikuo wins the trust of the sub-clan leaders one by one under the great Nura Clan. The strategies used by both the Human Rikuo and the Youkai Rikuo are distinctly different in aim and method, but both as awesome indeed. For example, some of Rikuo's loyal subordinates, they have exchanged "Sakazuki" which is a pledge of loyalty by exchanging sake which is popular in japanese yakuza ,"Sakazuki" is one of the main key term in the series. Some believe Youkai Rikuo to make them very strong. Some believe Human Rikuo can protect what is an important to Nura Clan and his friends. That is why youkai that act like Yakuza! They must show their true "Fear" to the human world.

Why I find this manga so impressive and attractive? About the concept, it make an idea of a sole leader leading so many youkai is not unheard of...for example, a leader lead a lot of youkai that join his clan but, not when your main character is this person only. They also focus on the youkai's fighting, the mangaka makes full use of the various demons in Japanese folklore to showcase their abilities and powers. You will know why Nura's clan need the "Fear" from their subordinates in Nura's legend! This manga created enough interesting arcs such that the reader is continuously learning about a different of Nurarihyon and his reign over the Hyakki Yakou.

See the pictures below; Different of art drawing which show up in different Arcs... So it is not boring as I think.
Should you like to read it online, you can read the chapters of Nurarihyon No Mago at Boxmanga.net or Mangafox.

They make good idea to create the cover of each book looks as Nura's subordinates follow the Rikua!

Black Cat

Train Heartnet is known as the Black Cat for his quick reactions to attacks and his title as Number Thirteen as member of the secret society Chronos. He is an unbeatable master gunman, a cold and unfeeling killer until he meets Saya, a bounty hunter, or "sweeper". She teaches him the value of a human life, and that one should live in order to repent for one's mistakes rather than die because of them. Through her, Train learns to love and care for other people as he too becomes a sweeper and travels with his partner Sven and the mysterious girl Eve. Visit the official website; http://www.funimation.com/blackcat/

Why it use 'Black Cat'? This reason is bringing "bad luck", and Train Heartnet's extremely quick movements and attacks, ever survived. So, this character has a name 'Black Cat' - was the most feared among assassins in the secret society Chronos.

In the world of Black Cat, Sweeper is a profession that specializes in capturing criminals for rewards. Sweepers are not unlike bounty hunters, they are licensed by the government and free to move about as they please and judge the justice when fight with enemies..I think that the Sweepers are not bad and just enjoy their freedom within need money to support their life.. Train Heartnet and his group worked as sweeper because they also need money to continue their lives, but sometimes they helped the poor and maintaining justice..

I think that this manga is very great story. It make me laugh when I read this manga :D I really like most character; Eve, who is a genetically engineered bio-weapon, but she also has a feeling of human..She is really clever and cute. :) She wants to grew up as strong like Train and his partner.. Train and his group will face the Chronos and best enemies in a war! Can they win? It is very sad when Train's most important girl is killed by bad person who betayed Chronos and want Train join his group...Sven and Eve were pretty good characters and they always like daddy and daugther..This story is really amazing! So I give Black Cat a 3.5 out of 5. :)

+ Anima

In this alternate-reality fantasy world, there exist normal human beings...as well as others that possess animal-like characteristics. These mysterious beings called "+Anima" are shunned by "normal" society. The story focuses on four of these special beings: Cooro (a crow), Husky (a fish), Senri (a bear) and Nana (a bat). These four friends travel to not only find others like themselves, but to also gain acceptance in world cruel to anyone or anything that is different...

The story shows, through flashbacks, the different histories of the characters. In Husky and Nana's case, their pasts seem to have influenced their current fears of water and forests at night, respectively. Senri and Cooro's pasts, however, remain for the most part a mystery, with only small pieces of Senri's past shown and none of Cooro's with the exception of the very beginning..

Another factor is what appears to be a war of some sort brewing, with swords being forged and soldiers assembled. The army is encountered twice by the main characters, and both times the four find themselves being looked badly upon. As the story progresses, more and more is revealed about the characters and the present predicament alike...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It make me laugh! :D I really like the main characters because they are cute and always do rush things...They still are kids, but sometimes they bring good results to another people.. Because the +Anima's powers are not understood by the normal people, and the +Anima are subject to negative..so, it is sad, the human cannot accept anima people in the world..I think that it more like HEROS and X-Men..


The children aged 14 or below can transform into +Anima usually when they come close to death or mortal danger.. their ability appears on the body of the person, in the form of a black tattoo-like marking..For example, tatoo's symbol like fish, and bear.. But, how the children can get +anima power if they near death? Why they chosen by a god? The rearchers cannot explain what is +Anima phenomenon.. + Anima people afraid of the negative reaction from others, most +Anima tend to hide their true powers and continue to live with the human..

Can they find out about the truth + Anima? They can live together with the human? :) Or they want to live in +Anima World? Better to read this manga!

Bakuretsu Tenshi

Summary of Burst Angel
In the near future, due to an unusual rise in criminal activity, it has become legal to possess firearms in Japan so lawful citizens can protect themselves. At the same time, the government established the Recently Armed Police Taskforce, whose methods are exterminating criminals rather than arresting them.
The story opens with Kyohei Tachibana, a student at a culinary arts school with dreams of someday becoming a patissier, motorcycling down an inner city street and becoming caught up in a shoot-out between a mysterious white-haired woman and a couple of gangsters. Kyohei escapes unharmed and ends up working as a cook for Jo, Meg, Amy, and Sei in an effort to gather up enough money to travel to France. The girls, ranging in ages of eleven to nineteen, turn out to be pseudo-mercenary agents for a larger international group known as Bai Lan.
Burst Angel focuses on the group as they investigate a series of mutated human monsters with odd glowing brains that cause various amount of mayhem in Tokyo.
________________________________________________________________
Now everyone in Japan called Burst Angel, it means something like "Exploding Angel"... Before that, we called 'Bakuretsu Tenshi' because this anime already showed up so early in 2007, that is why it got name 'Bakuretsu Tenshi'... I think that the first episode was fun to watch. This story looks good, and there are firefights and mecha, more like gundam.

The giant robot gunfight with against the zombie-driven mecha thing was pretty cool! It was pretty impressive when the 3D robots with the 2D elements in the animation! :O I enjoyed about Jo's technique of shooting, like 'fast' wind. She never have emotion, such as sad, happy, pain, and etc because she is born and grew up under training of militant, but this is HELL! > < style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">The Wings of the Devil" and will glow when Jo is put under a lot of stress when fighting!

I feel that Meg is useless in Jo's group! Pity her because she always to be kidnapped on many times! Jo also find her then save her! haha.. Meg is very close with Jo so I think that Meg is Jo's best friend. For Meg, Jo is more special than best friend.. o_O. but, it is sad because they not be together again when the ending come.. :P

This is interesting story..You better to watch DVD anime! :D

There are six sinners from demon world..A leader of sinner group, Aion, who is a devil who shares a dark and bloody history with Chrno, and seeks nothing less than to overthrow Heaven and Earth. The sinners believed in finding the freedom and want flee from serving for demon world.. I thought that Aion is Chrno's best friend but they are twin brothers!o_O Aion know his truth about everything in demon world and his family expect Chrno..

D.GrayMan

The story of D.Gray-man takes place on a fictional Earth at the end of the 19th century. The plot centers around Allen Walker, a young British boy who is a member of The Black Order; a secretive organization whose members are known as Exorcists. The Order's primary mission is to stop The Millennium Earl, an ancient demonic sorcerer who intends to 'cleanse' the world by destroying all life on it.
Exorcists are specially chosen humans who are gifted with the ability to control and use Innocence, a divine substance created in ages past to combat the Earl. According to the Order's history, at the end of The Great Flood, 109 fragments of Innocence were scattered around the world. Once an Innocence fragment is matched to its compatible user, it can become a weapon or tool for the user to wield in the battle against the Earl.
Throughout the story, Allen is introduced to more Exorcists, including Yu Kanda, Lenalee Lee, Lavi, Miranda Lotto, and Arystar Krory. Assisting Allen and the Exorcists are a team of scientists and handlers led by Komui Lee, a Supervisor of the Black Order and Lenalee's older brother. Allen's master and mentor is the enigmatic Cross Marian, one of the five Exorcist Generals of the Black Order, who at the beginning of the story has mysteriously disappeared. In the course of completing their missions, Allen and his fellow Exorcists are introduced to the other Generals: Kevin Yeegar, Froi Tiedoll, Cloud Nine, and Winter Sokaro.
The Millennium Earl is aided in his plans by The Noah Clan, humans who are direct descendants of Noah himself. Each member of this clan is gifted with great power and each represent a different 'aspect' of Noah. They are identified by their gray skin and line of cross-shaped markings on their foreheads. As the story progresses, the members of the clan are revealed: Road Kamelot (The Dreams of Noah), Tyki Mikk (The Pleasures of Noah), Jasdero and Debitto - Jasdebi (The Bonds of Noah), Skin Boric (The Wrath of Noah), and Lulubell (The Lust of Noah).
The Earl also utilizes an army of demonic creatures called Akuma to do his bidding. Akuma are created by taking advantage of someone's grief over the death of a loved one. The Earl tricks individuals into bringing their loved one back to life through a skeletal 'doll', only to have that doll kill them and turn them into an Akuma with the soul of the dead loved one trapped inside. Akuma are able to evolve and with each new level grow more intelligent, powerful, and sadistic. Since Akuma can impersonate humans to blend in, Exorcists are routinely assigned to track down and eliminate them....Do you think that the exorcists will be saved in the war?

Great Millennium War between exorcists and akumas/ Noah clan

First time, I heard new anime 'D.GrayMan'.. I don't know what is it and thought this anime is related with doctor's story.. I try to decide for watch this anime before I graduated.. This anime is nice story and have horror style / the scene related with the history of places and legends- vampires, old london, gothic, churches, etc... It have have comedy scenes too! ^ ^ Sometimes it make me laugh hehe

Allen Walker is young exorcist in Black Order Organization. He has a master, General Cross but he is very hate his master because General Cross always make him pay many debts for him so he forced to do tough works for solve General Cross's debt.. His master always left him alone.. lol pity him because he is young-8 years old..so he don't know anything he need to do.. hehe He don't have parents and taken by unknown man since he is baby... He never call unknown guardian as 'stepfather' as he only follow him go to where...

For me, Allen is very mystery guy because his detail never tell me about where place he born, how he grew up with unknown guardian, why he wants 'him' back to be alive if he don't love him..? His tattoo scar still be with his left eye because he has a legend curse about he killed his unknown guardian who become Akuma by himself after he call him be alive back (by Earl)...

Allen really want to protect all human and everyone he loved before they become Akuma (by Earl)! That is why he want to become exorcist and learn everything from General Cross and Black Order Organization

Allen, Lenalee, Lavi, Kanda and others still fight with Akumas and Noah..Their Innocence can make they awake and protect them! Allen died once! > < His Innocence protect his heart~! Noah Family are very strong than the exorcists but The Generals from Black Order that are strong too.. but no enough 'Generals'.. Who will win in Great Millennium War?

You better to watch D.GrayMan anime or read this manga! ^ ^
