This annoyed the living hell out of me

This must be some kind of Naruto sindrome - if somebody betrays you, instead of giving them a good slap and send them to hell, you start whining about it, and insist on how nececery it is to save the guy from himself(?). Like common, treachery is such a simple thing, everyone can live with it, that's why in families the husbands are allowed to hit on every woman on earth, because treachery is so easily to be forgiven.

Talking about next part, it somehow really did remind me of Elfen Lied ANIME.

There was one beutiful moment were guy hugs Lucy that although she is a crazy murderer and killed all his family he still loves her (in manga thanks god it wasn't at least so weird). Here it was the same case: yeah I know that you just tried to kill all those people, but that's OK let's just be friends and live happily ever after.

Either mangaka has lived an isolated life or he just loves making these kinds of brainless character interactions.

The art is good, and as some people said the storyline is original, but that's the only good thing you can't look on Edvard Munch "Scream" and say how good the movie it is, because it isn't a movie. So for this manga I also can't possibly put a high mark because manga is original and nicely drawn but is terrible in character communications.

ugh...the story at the beginning are sooOOO~~ typical,a no0b wimp get a Great Power then act like he's the boss,forgetting his friend who always protect him and kidnap the girl....and the hero go on a journey to find them...i've seen a few manga that the story like this in..

but what i didn't like is the hero's/heroine are soo~ Ordinary...meanwhile the enemy have 2 interesting Character such as Kanon and the guy whos power is
Bubble(forget his name,tho)....ugh the artist really can drawn a pretty character, till chapter 13,i've only found Kanon that are pretty interesting thought....

and this manga has alot of pages each chapter...v.V way to go hehe~~

Is this really original?
Is it worth checking out?
Is "Alive" truly up to par with other mystery and horror graphic novels or just another far cry from works of the same genre?

Disappointingly, no one should waste their time reading this junk, but it all comes down to personal preference.

The story does not in anyway complement the nice artwork, and that's a big letdown. I, too, was really looking forward to further development in latter volumes, but wasn't expecting every page of every chapter in every volume to be filled with the whole "naive hero with hidden powers who slowly learns to control it when one of his comrades is in a dangerous pinch." What more can I say?

Naruto, Gantz, and Hunter X Hunter is more entertaining. Naruto for it's plotline and ninja arts, with a fresh theme; Gantz for explicit scenes—intercourse, gore, and a story which unfolds unlike any other out there; HxH for also displaying more or less of it's originality, and for getting a shounen (well, I was one several years ago?) like me drawn into it. And I can go on and on about these three manga, but I'll keep it short.

Not a recommendation, nor is "Alive" worth reading, but feel free to give it a try.I sure as heck know shounens who hasn't been exposed to manga will be drawn to this pile of garbage.

I gave it a "3" for the decent artwork.

.. happened

This has gotta be the stupidest, laziest, cheesiest, panels I've ever read in my history of manga-reading. I seriously want to fly to Japan and feed the author's children to cannibalistic hookers for the reconstructive surgery I had to undergo after my palm collided with my face. I'm usually good at keeping away from horribly-executed mangas, but I gave this one a shot because of the interesting beginning and its false hopes of potential

To sum it up, this manga is an enormous piece of shit, disguised as a potentially good read. Don't stray too close, unless you wanna end up with shit stains on your face for the rest of your life

P.S.
I highly recommend Parasyte if you've already suffered from this manga. It's about the same concept (parasites coming to earth) but MUCH more well-done

I like the story until 1st arc finish... After taisuke's gone and found out again, the story seem less attractive. And anyways, the artwork is the one i trully admire. For characters, i don't really like the taisuke's character... sometimes he could be a dumb. He remainds me of naruto, but naruto's better..

I can not believe that I went and read so much of the story. I quickly realized that the artwork is sub-par but the other problems have to do with the story itself. While I have to admit that the quality of the story is high, the feeling of the manga is the same that you get from death note and other such very dark well written pieces. Not worth reading unless you like dark and depressing and evil.
A very ugly type of story that delves deep into the worst of human nature.
