One of my favorites!

I was amazed at the fact that some ppl in the comments are complaining about the art in this manga, which is simply awesome.

And for the people saying that the fight info sucks, I'd say that you are the one that sucks and need to practice more, because I find that info usually accurate, I may not have a huge street fighting experience, but I know my way around boxing.

I believe that the people that said that the fight info is wrong and etc are the ones that tried and failed, but they most probably didn't take one fact in consideration, that no matter how strong your theory is you have to practice until you can't move your limbs, otherwise you won't improve, there's no magic trick to get better, simply lot's and lot's of practice.

Seriously, can someone point me to the wrong info in the manga?
as far as I know and tried, grabbing someone's wrist from the outside is one of the most effective things there is. and hitting concrete floor on your back hurts a friggin lot, and so on ô.o

The art is exceptional. the bad guys look bad and the good guys look really good. Also you get a preview into the some of the basic mechanics of many forms of martial arts. Rather than the good guy always winning because he's got all the luck or power (ie because he's the 'good guy' 😉 you get to see how and why the 'bad guy' got taken down and what he could have done (but didn't) to prevent it... as well as a glimpse into their psyche.

Character development is also great. Yuu is the underdog of all underdogs... and around vol 4 you just don't want him to lose. For a wimp he's got a lot of spare backbone.

seriously. i was reading this online, and i reached the end of chapter 35 with out realizing it. and when my right arrow stopped advancing the story, i almost shed a tear. so sad. i need more of this manga. its so good. especially if you actually fight, like professionally or as an amateur, you get even more out of this.

Usually I wouldn't be interested in these types of manga, since I'm more of a shoujo and jousei person, but this manga is simply amazing. It's exceeded my expectations. The art is wonderful, as is the story.

I was skeptical about this manga at first and had avoided reading it on more then 1 occasion. But then I finally said "Hell lets give this a try." And I was blown away! This manga is amazing! Truly nothing I have read can compare, the realistic fighting and the characters slow change over these 36 chapters have been great! I look forward to reading the future releases! So for all you who are thinking like me, give it a shot. I know you'll like it.

I love this manga so far. Very interesting. The story is actually believable (well, sort of), as it sort pulls of pulls me into it. You can (sort of) identify with the main character and all the characters feel real somehow.

I definitely recommend it.

The action and way the author explains everything is awesome. The character looks like he'll grow into someone I'd like.

Will probably become a great martial arts/fighting manga.

Conceptually Excellent

At the back of Japanese society lurks several monsters. Especially at the time this was written, during the midst of economic collapse following the bubble break, but even today the youth of Japan remains largely in a state of lost continuance. There really isn't a sense of unity or direction present in the country, and despite Koizumi's highly successful reign Japan doesn't have a leader to guide it. As a result, characters like those in Holyland are born.

Holyland is an impressive story more because of its societal relevance than anything else. Sure, it's a coming-of-age story filled with the glorification of violence, but at the same time it's also a rather successful character study. I encourage those with an interest in social issues to take a peek at it- it may not be all that great in terms of art or storytelling, but the premise is spot-on.
