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.

One of the best manga. A must read.

This manga kick major asses. I read this one long ago maybe 5 years ago. I enjoyed it alot. The art from then 2n half onwards is fantastic. Character design and development is also top notch. The story is depth and consistant. And the ending is best ending of the shounen gern i've ever seen. Its really touching and surprising. Only a weakness of the series is some fights are somehow unrealistic. Like the good guy shouts out "i wont lose to you because etc..." then beat the crap out of the bad guy even though he was losing miserable just a minute ago. But other than that everything else is excellent.

Easily a 9.5/10.

Flame of Recca is one of those old school classic Shounens that will blow you away with it's amazing art (it improves throughout the series), lovable cast of characters, and absolutely stunning fights...seriously, the god of one to one tournament fighters. MK, eat your heart out!

Huh... I think it's kinda strange :-?

Well... I read the whole manga [though it quite an old series already :">]and then I read the review and then I saw quite a lot of bad reviews >"< To me, this manga is totally awesome <3<3<3 and I gave it 10/10.
I just wanna say that, come on, the same plot is not really important. Just how can you ask the mangaka to think more and more new and interesting theme? There is always an limit. The way they deal with the old themes is really what matters, right? A true talent writer know how two make the old theme interesting, and I cant ask more of Anzai-sensei..
It's true that the arts in the first chapters are not really beautiful, but i saw it happened to tons of manga, then there is nothing wrong with it.
All the characters are likeable [well, except for Mori of course], they had their own stories and problems, and everyone find the best solution for himself, really heartwarming.
And I'm so in love with Yanagi and Tokiya. Maybe Yanagi is just a damsel in distress, but she tried her best in everything, thats what made her admirable. She is cute and really the comedy of the whole manga <3<3<3
So, Im saying that I really love this manga and I hope you give it a chance 😉

the anime

i agree the art at the starting kinda sucks. but the art is at least not run-of-mill type, it is unique in its own way and gets much better later on. the story is good, and those that can't stomach the manga should definitely try watching the anime. it is pretty well developed considering the time when it was made.

Kurei is one of the most kick-ass villains around. his first appearance, and his voice (the seiyuu is good!!) made a 14 year old kid trembled in fear. on hindsight, as an adult, Kurei is a rounded character and the mangaka has fully shown how he has come to be and why he is the way he is now. watch it even if its just for kurei!

absolutely what to say. This manga kicks so much ass (literally as well) that I would/will read it times and times again. I like this kind of shounen - less talk, more action 🙂 The ending was a bit bittersweet, depending on one's expectations, but still, it takes my words away.

If you've not read this, you're not a real shonen manga fan. MUCH better than the anime.

Boring, retarded and pretty "shonen" manga. Seriously is one of the worst series i´ve read in my life ,no... is the second worst after "Hoshigami no Satsuki" it has amost no redeeming points that compense it´s lack of quality and you should avoid it at all cost...

Best Action Manga

by ayaneninja

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

One of the first things that drew me into this manga was that the main character is such a nerd for ninja history and culture. I instantly felt a connection due to our mutual interest, and knew this manga was going to be a fun ride. With brilliant art, lovable characters with their own distinct personalities, and plenty of action to please both fans of ninja manga and shonen action fans, Flame of Recca is an unsung classic among battle manga.

One thing that sets it apart from its shonen peers is that there are portions of the characters day to day lives with scenarios that let their personalities shine through, and make for some neat moments. This also makes the characters feel more real, makes you more attached to them when the actions starts picking up, and makes the stakes feel all the higher, being invested in Team Hokage as they make their way through underground fighting tournaments, chases through caves, and trials through forbidden areas. If you have any interest at all in battle manga or ninjas, check this one out for sure!

Kurei

by GodOfMadness

Rating: N/A

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.
