| Don't judge the book by its cover by TuckingFypo on September 12th, 2009, 4:13am |

Flame of Recca is a very good manga. Even though the artwork for the first 5~7 volumes isn't good, it gets better and I can say that that's one of the main reasons why Anzai-sensei rocks.
The tournament and character design may be "similar" to Yu Yu Hakusho but...there's more to Flame of Recca. ^^;
There are many cool twists, shocking and unexpected happenings and the characters are totally awesome. (I LOOOVE Joker.)
And obviously, the manga is better than the anime. If you're judging Flame of Recca just by its anime, then you suck. XD
The arc after the Ura Butou Satsujin is very cool so if you haven't read this great manga fully yet, you better read it and I swear you wouldn't regret it. ^_~ |

| Kurei by GodOfMadness on April 29th, 2009, 1:25am |

This manga is good, storyline is good and Art is average, but the reason I kept reading is because Kurei is an awesome character, I love how though out the series he is always EVIL and not like other series characters that turn from evil to good, Kurei is evil but a good person(sometimes) and the other character I liked is Setsuna(the dragon). I hated the main female character, she's so weak and useless and in the end she was the one that killed the root of evil, wtf.

| An above-average battle manga by AmishSamurai on February 19th, 2009, 3:23pm |
|
Flame of Recca is odd. It's has more story than your average battle manga (Bleach), but still not enough to be considered anything more than an action series. The plot is very simple: boy meets girl, girl and boy have supernatural powers, girl is targeted due to her powers, boy decides to defend her with his life against seemingly neverending onslaught of enemies. Obviously it gets more complicated further on, but the plot wasn't the main point for me. It was the characterization. There were several likable characters on both the villain and hero side (Tokiya, Koganei, Kurei, Kirin/Rasen, and Joker are the ones that come to mind), all of whom get ample amounts of development.

| Hm.. by misscookie68 on November 27th, 2008, 1:33pm |

| The mangaka rushed it waay too fast, but i gotta admit though its a pretty damn good plot as well. The anime was exciting but the ending was a huge disappointment. I agree pandaslayer0''s comment hugely on this series..I prefer Naruto, Bleach, DBZ, Yu yu hakusho etc.. |

| Read the comment below mine. It speaks the truth. by Monyet_Sejati on November 4th, 2008, 10:05pm |

I was about to write a long hatred-filled comment, but then I read pandaslayer0's comment. His comment describes exactly the way I feel about this manga. Listen to him, as his comment weigh no less than the hard cold truth. I can't see a single aspect of this manga worth reading. Artwork? Super-Suck. Storyline? Mega-Lame. Characterization? Ultra-Annoying. Hell, even the jokes is pitiful. Seriously, the jokes are dry and confusing, most of the time I need 5 seconds of brainstorming before I finally realize that the author is trying to make a joke. What is more pitiful than telling a joke, but fail to make people laugh at it?
Flame of Recca, Ladies and Gentlemen, is - without a doubt - the second most overrated manga ever. Yep the second most, not the most overrated manga. That honor goes to Naruto.

| dont like this by pandaslayer0 on August 12th, 2008, 5:17pm |

though i realize that flame of recca is insanely popular, sadly have to ask why, becuase i sure didnt like it.
factors such as artwork aside - fine, i get it. its also one of his first works, and it was a long time ago, my score for this manga [a 4] shall not include that - though just for the record... its really bad people...
but what is it i dislike the most about the manga?
the protagonist. i dont think i can describe my loathing of him fully in words. i cant stand him. he's arrogant, threatens to kill people at a whim - without judging ANYTHING, he has it incredibly easy compared to other characters in the manga [in battles and such], is pissed off at Kurei [the baddie] for no reason - he basicially just attacks the guy. its disgusting really. i dont know if its just me, but i really dont like him.
but that being said, though the manga has good guys that are practically bad guys [with their arrogance, the fact that only THEY can kill people, whereas if the bad guys injure one of them, ohmygod, its instant death threats], and the bad guys are good guys [getting wimpy and changing sides] this manga has one gem.
and by god, if this manga didnt have this guy, i swear i wouldnt have read past the 3 volumes [which took a lot of effort and a great deal of skimreading]:
Kurei. now THATS a character. awesome badground story, cool character design, and personality that STAYS evil [or at least "on the side" of evil]. he is the sole reason i could read this manga, seriously. its the only reason i wouldnt consider giving this a 2.5 |

| wow by flapple on April 3rd, 2008, 8:36pm |

great manga worth the read :)
i was not so happy about the ending becuase i felt like the author rushed it. it woulda been soooo much better if the ending focused on Yanagi and Recca i just knoow it :)
READ THIS it is a great mix of action/adventure/comedy/romance yes romance even though its not on the list for genre... dunno why, but there DEFINATLY IS romance in this. great for anyone looking for a hilarious adventure with some romance and fire kicked in
there is also excellent character development in this manga :) u can see the progress they went through not just relying on weapons
well i cant give this a 10/10 although it deserved it for a great overall story, the ending just made me dissapointed. it isnt that bad but i just rather about Yanagi and Recca :) woundnt most people?

i finally got around to finish reading this. and it's really good, i didn't read the first part because ive watched the anime and i just continued where it left off. the manga seemed more mature than the anime counterpart and it made it better for me. for anyone who loves shounen like naruto, bleach, etc. this is one of the classics, read it. and try yuyu hakusho as well.

| Early fighting style by demoniceman on January 4th, 2008, 11:23am |

In Naruto, Bleach, and other manga that revolves around violence, there are many characters so the reader could appeal to at least one of them. Flame of Recca is an earlier version of it. It's not like DBZ, where out of nowhere you get more power. It's a little more realistic, but if you're into the flashy attacks, you'll like this. At the beginning, the art SUCKS! It was so bad that it hurts. However, as the artist kept working on it, the art gradually got better and better, and at the end it was really good.
