Übel Blatt

Description

From Yen Press:
Rumors stir throughout the land: when the wielder of the black sword draws his dark blade, all who stand in its path are torn asunder. Köinzell, the mysterious young boy who carries the black sword, undeniably wields it with exceptional skill, but can he truly be responsible for the bloody rumors? Pursued by the Traitorous Lances, four powerful warriors who were thought to have been defeated by the Seven Heroes, the strength of the young swordsman will be tested to its limit. At the battle's end, only the shocking truth of Köinzell's quest will stand above the corpses of his enemies.

... I guess some people read five chapters and decided they'd read the whole manga. First of all, the number of sex scenes mentioned has been grossly exaggerated by those who commented on it. Compared to berserk, this is much more toned down (and thank gods, the sex scenes bit in Berserk was really getting old). I'd say the ratio of sex scenes is maybe 1 (UB) to 10 (Berserk). And the ones in Berserk were also much more gruesome in nature.

On to the topic - you can obviously compare UB and Berserk. Personally, I loved Berserk initially. And still do, although IMO it has lost its way big time. UB, so far, seems much more focused - Koinzell wants to avenge himself and his three comrades, and that's what he's doing. Gats really had no reasons to save the people he did and slay the monsters he slew. Until his buddy came back from the dead, he had no idea how he might be able to strike back at him. Simple as that.

Koinzell instead knows perfectly who his targets are. I think his appearance makes the manga more interesting, not less. He doesn't look like a brooding dark swordsman physically, but if you READ the manga (don't just look at the pretty pictures boys!), you will see that mentally he is perpetually torn between the futility of it all, the fact he is killing heroes the people look up to... among other things. And as for his origins, we really don't know much (yet). We know what happened before he was slain, but we have no clue why he came back, or even what he truly is so far.

To sum it all up - do Berserk and UB have similar themes? Certainly. Is UB a 'bad copy' of Berserk? Not in my opinion. Is it worth a read? Definitely. The art is good (but then again, this is always very subjective...), and the story is as well. And, picture that, the story actually progresses instead of getting hopelessly lost in secondary adventures.

Not like in Berserk, I am sorry to say.

Great

This is a great series that takes an interesting look at the darker parts of humanity as you watch "hero's" tainted by their own greed. And as the main character fights for what should be justice and is labeled a enemy of a nation held together by a fabrication of deception and betrayal.

good

Rating: 9.5 / 10.0

yall kinda exaggerating there, the manga is is very good. i know there are some sex scenes but thats only in the begining of the story. And again in stories tht are base in time like this, it is expected to always have those kind of thing and sometime even worse.

It doesnt tell much in the begingn of the manga, for u to really understand this manga u have to like read a good thew chapter so that u can understand the manga and get some few interesting point on it.

And again having a manga base on vengeance is good some time. i kinda have enough of those heros shit they some time always have.

Anyway that a good manga except for some few scenes that were a little exaggerating the fighting scene but other than that the story seems to be going very good.

Nothing spectacular

This manga is nothing original but it isn't bad. Yes there are a few sex scenes but not as much as some make it out to be. The story, while nothing too great is moving at a nice pace and not being dragged out.

Big time bad

by Forgivewhatyoudo

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

I started reading it because it was supposed to be a good seinen manga about a hero who shows up and saves the day. But after reading some chapters i found out it actually was the story of a kid who shags every girl he sees, with or without consent. If you're into that, knock yourself out, but I'm no freak, so i cant enjoy. Btw: The story is awful and the character are both cliché and bad (really bad actually).

Lukewarm dark fantasy

by Cheesyhoboe

Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

Yup, another dark fantasy tale centered around revenge... sadly, this one isn't up to par with Berserk, Claymore, Shin Angyo Onshi, Ares or Vinland Saga, but it does it's job. The plot is quite weak (nothing but a straightforward revenge tale) and the characters are one-dimensional and uninteresting (the villains lack enough background for you to care about them and the main heroes are likable but lack any sort of character development), but the action scenes are exciting enough despite the rather tame art, and there's plenty of nude eyecandy for you to look at. While the story is quite dark, it does have it's lighthearted moments every once in a while which clash with the overall tone. In fact, you could say the art itself clashes with the story tone since some of the character designs don't quite fit within the grim, medieval world that Ubel Blatt is set in. It's worth a try, just don't expect much beyond some dramatic fights, as the other aspects of it are decent at best or just barely above mediocre.

you guys are exaggerating wayy too much about the sex in this series. there's barely any. sure, it has a mature genre but i think that's more due to the blood than to anything else. this is more of a typical shonen manga to me, with much more advanced graphics. there's tons of better action manga out there with shitloads of sex.

lacks GAR

I don't understand why people are comparing this to berserk. Berserk is far superior in terms of art to epic storyline to GAR hero you sympathize and care about.. To be fair, it's still early for Ubel Blatt and have much room for improvement. The whole 7 heroes and 4 betrayers is just ridiculous. How did they save the world themselves without the help of the others? If it was that easy, the others shouldn't of been scared and helped out. I'd like some bonus chapters to flesh out the past more. The awkward flashbacks atm are just an excuse to force emotion into the story and make Koinzell cry.

The action sequences are quite nice and easy to follow, but it lacks that 'oomph'. It just looks off when he defeats these huge powerful being with his dinky sword. He does look badass when he pulls out his Black Sword(sman, LOL). After 20 years, I'm sure Ubel is sex starved but he still looks like a little boy and it looks wrong, no matter how old he is on the inside. Why is there a useless elf, Puc - I mean - Peepi. I can't relate to any of the characters right now. None of them are all that developed. Ubel is cool sometimes but he's still one dimensional. He lives for one reason only, revenge. That's not good enough. Every hero needs a 'sheath' (read kenshin).

I've been harsh, but I do enjoy reading it. I just wish there was more complexity to plot and characters instead of Point A -> exact revenge -> Point B (repeat). I still recommend it, but you'd enjoy it more if you haven't been spoiled by better mangas.
