| Good, but not great by Shensuke on November 19th, 2009, 5:47pm |

Since everyone else is only commenting on the positives, I'll make my review a little more pessimistic.
The art is underwhelming. It begins rather slowly (not unbearably slow), but really picks up after the first volume if you give it the time. The mangaka shoves a lot of gore into your face in the first few volumes but there is little to be found in some of the later ones.
I'm not sure why there are remarks the originality of the main character. He is far from the first character to ever use brains over brawn, especially with the recent popularity of characters like Lelouch and Yagami. The mangaka himself even constantly makes comparisons between Eumenes and Odysseus; however, unlike Lelouch, Light, Odysseus, or almost any other main character in a popular work of literature you can think of, Eumenes is flawless.
He isn't weak, short-tempered, arrogant, boring, antisocial, evil, bad with girls, or even too kind. The story is basically about what the perfect male specimen would do under the most unfortunate conditions possible, but no one seems to have a problem with this because it's almost impossible to dislike him.
Definitely one of the better mangas out, but far from the best.

| This beast is beyond description by Wufu on August 21st, 2009, 11:09am |

Historie.
The essence of Historie is too magnificent a beast to tame with my words. For me, to describe this ongoing masterpiece, would only tarnish its brilliance. Mark my words readers, the 230 votes for a ten is not a lie. You may not've gotten your cake (Portal reference) but, to a reader who's not blinded by their childhood or teenage wants; of action, fame, and glory for the former and of the same for the latter except with the lust for sex. To such a person who's open to the world I guarantee that this will be your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Although to the average person, the rainbow's probably invisible and that they just happened to stumble upon a five-year-old box of brownies stashed in an obscure corner, and upon opening one package, discovers that each package is laden with a bar of 24 carrot gold. Yes, this series deserves more attention from the manga world and I also thought the manga would be crappy at first.
After reading it I was like a starving peasant standing in front of a colossal two-story mushroom made of pure gold—and edible too. I was baffled, no a better word would be astounded. It's alluring plot held me like a spell as I sated my hunger eating away the chapters. The only thing I hate is the time spent waiting for chapters. Someone mentioned that it's serialized in a monthly magazine so that might explain it. Whatever, patience is a virtue.
This manga is an addiction I tell you. Be prepared to pull an all-nighter reading it.
5 stars out of 5

| Awesome. by se7a on June 6th, 2009, 1:59am |

This is completely awesome. It's so fresh, so well-done, so interesting. I'm 23 years old so it's really hard to find mangas that aren't about adolescence drama, targeting 15 years old kids. The plot is so strong without relying only on sex or psychological dramas. It's so well-written, it just doesn't look like a manga
The art is very good, the action is so fine.
By far, superior to almost everything I've read. Go and read it. Try Viland Saga if you like it.

| Worth your time by OppKnox on May 25th, 2009, 2:12pm |

Happily, Hox has picked this one up, so I can enjoy following my favorite protagonist again. As other reviewers have attested, Eumenes is probably one of the most likable, rational main characters you’ll find in any manga. He shares with his contemporaries a compelling sort of wry, unencumbered worldliness, and Historie showcases well-paced, subtle storytelling with a hint of irreverence. The utter lack of cheap sentimentality, pretentious philosophizing, and dystopian vulgarity is refreshing. Iwaaki Hitoshi demonstrates that history, science, innovation, and enlightenment can be entertaining without the superficial nonsense.

| Looking to get in touch with HOX by kyuubi654 on May 24th, 2009, 12:18pm |

Great manga, really, i'm speachless. It's got history, which would be enough for me, and that's not all, it also covers so much more angles of society, different nationalities, interesting tales and the life of Eumenes.
Btw. i've been searching for like a few hours now, but i can't seem to find a way to contact HOX. Anybody know how i could do this ?
Thanks in advance.

| A definite read by aether on April 24th, 2009, 7:20pm |

This is one series that I wouldn't mind buying if it ever gets licensed. I might be in the minority in this but I actually like the art. The buildings are beautifully detailed and the simplicity of some scenes are great. I love the main character. His character development is phenomenal and there is still plenty of room to grow. My only qualm is that it's serialized in a monthly magazine lol but it's cool because the mangaka has more time to do a good chapter.

| Very nice. by StarlightDreams on April 8th, 2009, 9:50pm |

I don't usually make comments...but this manga made me so interested in it that I read it nonstop in one night catching up to the current releases.
It's just that great.
The story and plot is amazing and unique, I've always had a thing for historical manga.
The art is simple but it fits perfectly, nothing is over-dramatized, it's simple and brings out the significance of the story and characters this way.
For anyone who's not really into seinen manga, this is one that you should read to get started because it is definitely one of the better manga out there.
Anyways, it's a good manga.

| Incredibly well done story by sakirol on February 10th, 2009, 12:26am |
|
This is an incredibly well done story. The plot moves along smoothly, never taking too long at one spot and never breezing through any parts either. The main character is extremely attention-capturing. He has qualities that anyone would want in a main character. I especially like the drama. It suits my liking. It's not overdone, but it's well presented and leaves a good, light lingering feeling. The plot itself seems very natural and flows well.
I just love this series :]

| Must read! by abczyx666 on February 9th, 2009, 6:27pm |

At first I wasn't quite interested in this manga but after reading it definitely surpassed my first impressions.
The mangaka has definitely improved from his previous work of Parasyte especially in terms of story telling. The flow of the plot is very natural and it has immense detail through both dialogue and art. There is also a great depth of character development especially with Eumenes during the flashbacks. One of the best stories and definitely recommended reading.
Without a doubt it is one of my favourite mangas and I hope to read more soon. Just one of the few mangas I have rated a 10.

I find it ridiculous anyone could give this a vote of one. Completely ridiculous, that person is either retarded or just read one chapters and labeled it whatever he liked. This series is simply riveting, the story flows so well. One of the few manga that can pull flashbacks well. And the quality that Hox is releasing is pretty dam good actually.
