| Great! Suprisingly deep story in somewhat apocalyptical setting by GuardianPL on November 8th, 2009, 2:17pm |
|
I took this title to just read some seinen, fighting off disappointment that Team Medical Dragon is translated only to 60+ chapter and wanting to put my mind on something else.
At first Akumetsu seems like a flashy gory shounen full of nonsense. I've kept reading simply because I liked stuff about corrupted government, which fit perfectly in that of my own nation's. And then, gradually, all that over-the-top crap started to make sense, and a brilliant story unravelled,
I've stopped at chapter 130, will definitely be back in the future when enough of unread chapters will gather.
Akumetsu is not for kids, it's a good and gritty story, reminds me a bit of Boondock Saints in way of us dreaming to fix that rotting world of corruption and evil. It incites burning anger that all those scumbags out there keep leeching life out of normal people and remain above law and justice, untouchable. Akumetsu them!!!

| why adult/mature by dreamer00013 on August 28th, 2009, 7:06am |
|
the only reason this series is put in the genre adult and mature is probably the gore. There's really much gore, and fingers get shot/cut off....not really beautiful. But because of the nudity and sexual content and that stuff: only a little bit in the beginning, no nudity (until now, chapter 10), just some girls getting sexually harrassed, nothing more. I expected more extreme things, but thankfully it wasn't like that.
The art is not that great, it's okay, but I had higher expections. Probably because of "Wolf guy", which I read before by the same author. (Art is one of the best I've seen before in manga/manhwa) It's a newer work, so I really shouldn't have set my expectations that high. The characters are....weird? The understandable and realistic ones (so everybody besides Akumetsu) don't play any big role yet, it's just Akumetsu "playing" around in the first chapters.
Gets me hooked up nevertheless, don't know why.
I won't give any rating yet
PS: I'll edit this comment if there's something new.
Edit: It's incredible funny sometimes and there's really no sexual content. (chapter 88 already) So start reading it!!

| Interesting financial drama manga by recca_cool on May 10th, 2009, 11:37pm |
|
It is a bit repetitive but has not lost its touch yet. The puzzle is being revealed slowly to keep the reader's interest up and that should have been the case from the beginning of the Manga.
Anyway, quite interesting, but I hope the story will warp up soon, as any further branching will make the story loose.

| Good, but a few complaints by Crenshinibon on November 30th, 2008, 1:57am |

Before anyone goes crazy- 6.4 is actually a decent rating coming from me (when all of the manga on my lists are combined and averaged it comes out to around 4.8, last time I checked).
Anyway, there are a few good things about Akumetsu. It's clearly written to be thought provoking, and I actually quite like the way it addresses several intellectual concepts. The art is decidedly average, but it suits the environment well enough, especially the intensity. The real issues I have come with the excess of gore/violence (most of which is simply gratuitous and totally unnecessary), and some of the storytelling which I find to be often ill-paced and generally lazy. I suppose I'm just not the target audience when it comes to the violence, so I can overlook that, but the storytelling still gets me. In an attempt to seem more mysterious, suspense is vastly overused as a device which causes the plot twists to gradually become both predictable and mundane. Additionally, the way the author introduces more characters, and scenarios in general, is pretty formulaic. I can't help but occasionally feel that I'm reading the same thing over and over.
All that said though, this is a decent series, and worth the time to read for the concept alone.

this manga is great characters are deep u never know what might happen next and what makes this manga special its not the art ( even though art is great ) its the way mangaka tells the story i have readed many mangas till now and i can tell its diffrent from everything i have seen ( its kinda similar to death note in some ways but death note was created after the akumetsu ) the reason why i gave 9.5 because i have readen just 8 volumes and maybe ending will disapoint me but i doubt that
i recomend this to all who wants to read something out of ordinary ( i mean mangas like naruto bleach xblade and similar crap)

| Great by Kagrath on September 7th, 2008, 4:08pm |

| If you can forgive the bits of ranting politics and just give in to the flow of the story and the energy of the drawings you will greatly enjoy this manga. It is a tad wordy and you may not agree with the Spoiler (highlight to view) one man one kill suicide assassinations for political officials though after the manga explains actions I can't help but want it to happen. If you want great action, art and a decent story line pick it up.
