Devils Line

Description

From Kodansha:
Tsukasa, a college student, is rescued from an attack by a devil, one of many vampires that can blend in among the human population. Anzai, her savior, is a half-devil who exploits his supernatural gifts as a member of a shadowy police task force that specializes in devil-related crime in Tokyo. As Anzai continues to keep guard over Tsukasa, the two quickly forge a tentative bond—one that Anzai fears will test his iron-clad rule of never drinking human blood.

Nothing spectacular. I dropped it after the first volume, so I shouldn’t say much.

Promise of romance but absent for most of the story.

by LUEser

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

After coming back to finish this manga, I realize that it does not live up to the hype I remember it to have although it is not completely a failure. The manga becomes too political, almost like it was split in half: the beginning being more romantic while the latter half being too political that you lost touch with most of the characters at the beginning.

The idea of a devil/vampire breed that wants to fight for their rights to live among humans is a good idea that the mangaka Hanada delivered really well on. It felt realistic, the anti-devil protests, the fight for devil rights, and all of the resources that have yet to come to light in favor of devils. The "terrorism" at the end of the manga was cleverly played out. Had Hanada pushed for at least 10 more chapters, there would have been a chance to bring Anzai and Tsukasa's relationship back into the spotlight. But because of the politics in place, it really felt like both Anzai and Tsukasa's romance went to the back burner and just never came back. And though the romance was fairly short and somewhat unjustified, was still very satisfying. I think Hanada should consider making a manga that's as hot as Anzai and Tsukasa's controlled environment of sexual outercourse.

Hanada does a good job answering questions and never leaving questions lingering for too long. There was always a good foreshadowing, but I felt like Anzai and Kikuhara's climax at the end was botched entirely. I know it was meant to be something more like, a symbol of Anzai's acceptance of what Kikuhara had done to him and forgiveness by intending to be his "friend." But for two rivals, it just seemed too calm and peaceful; it just felt unsatisfying for me to have the two just have a conversation about it but Kikuhara is really indifferent about it.

The artwork is...different. At times, it looks stiff especially when it comes to facial expressions, like a poorly drawn "evil" face but...it backfires. Throughout the whole manga, some areas have certainly improved but the artwork basically stays the same. To be fair, the manga is fairly short so it makes sense that it has not changed much.

Overall, generally good manga if you don't mind that romance is not a strong suit in this manga (despite a very strong promise of it at the beginning). I would still recommend it if politics come easier to you to because it was not my strong point.

Too unrealistic, the main character is really too dumb, not my cup of tea but if you want to read it then do so

It’s not bad

My only complaint is that starting in volume 8, the side characters seriously start multiplying. There becomes way too many of them and the story takes a different direction and the main characters appear very little after that.

A well balanced manga, with the characters unfold and grow along with the plot. It's a balanced of dark and light, love and hate..

Great manga. Vampires are not seen as pretty creatures here at all and are actually quite terrifying looking (as they should be.) I didn't care for the art at first but the story drew me in. I love the story and I can't wait to see how it concludes.

It's just another twilight... After seen the seinen tag and romance I tried this one, but really this one is just not for me. I feel like too many tropes for female audience here, really I didn't expect them. I guess the reason is because it tries too hard to make romance as the main plot device.

I'm In Love? (Don't Let the Art Fool You)

I am totally in love with this series. i never knew it existed just till about a week ago from my manga app and I am so glad I found it?? I'd say, if you enjoy reading Tokyo Ghoul, I'd totally tell you to give this a go. There's police, the crazy villains, the cute protagonist with a complicated past, the "cafe is our HQ" trope, the friendship, the cute canon couple. You get the picture. Pls. It's so good and it needs to be known.

On the manga itself, I guess what I enjoyed most from the series is the complexity. I like it how I'm always thrown off my seat whenever the mangaka pans out and show the bird's eye view of scenarios. There's lots of suspense in that regard. I get anxious a lot waiting to find out what would happen next. It feels like everyone has their own agenda. It's great.

The stark difference to Tokyo Ghoul would probably be the romance. Devil's Line is dictated mostly of its romance plot ngl it's the reason i started reading the series in the first place. And I'm not disappointed. At some point in time (towards the latest chapters), you'd feel that there is a bit of a drag as the mangaka gives lots of emphasis on progressing the main cp's relationship to the next level. It never fails to make me laugh whenever the series steers towards that direction/every time the cp bring it up. Like y'all can chill but i agree though. You wanna do the do you gotta know how to do the do. Otherwise, it's going great and I'm curious to find out how the mangaka will conclude.

excellent story about vampires

by anoni

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

This manga will trap you in this world where vampires and humans coexist barely.

the main character is dark and sad, lonely fight vampires who fall into temptation for human blood despite it is blood from someone they love.Gradually the story is telling us how these vampires, their vicissitudes and different types of personalities, are rejected by human society, whether are good or bad.

romance, sadness, mystery and horror. Nothing is missing from this story to catch you and will leave you wait for the next chapter.

10/10 for me.
