An original plot, sympathetic characters.
I didn't get bored even once and I was able
to discuss with the material.
A very good ending in my opinion.
I rarely sacrifice my sleep to read manga.

It was worth it.

Personally, this manga isn't as great as everyone says it was/is. Its still pretty good though, although I disliked the ending. Not bad, not bad at all, though.

One of my favorites ;A;

It's an amazing manga. The wonderful pacing really stood out to me. The scenes were just the right length- not so long that I'd get bored and not so short that I would be confused and unsatisfied.

I really loved the way it approached the issues it does. Like in the first volume with the two boys. It really made me ask myself which one deserves punishment. (I started feeling sorry for the long-haired one even though he... well, you know. >_<)

Great plot, great characters, great art, and packed with so much feeling it can knock you out. <3 What more could you want?

one of the best mangas ever?

I fully agree with anyone who said the ending seems rushed and sloppy. I'd expect it to be at least 3 more volumes longer to explore more the relationship of Ikazu's with others besides Yuri. The battle between Ikazu and Shuro was made to be unnecessary to be honest. It should have been more epic with more psychology involved.
However, I have to give credit where credit is due. It is by far, one of the most impressive mangas I have ever read.
Anyone noticed that the art looks like Kamio Youko's in later stages (towards the end of Hana Yori Dango or Cat Street)?

There is something about this manga...

For some reason, despite my love for psychological mangas, I just couldn't fully sympathize and love the characters. I don't mean I hate them, I do like them and I do feel bad for them in the end... but I felt satisfied as well. I have no idea why, but I vented my rl frustration on the manga, and well... realized satisfaction with their misfortune ><...

I mean, I literally sighed in relief when Kujou pushed Shuro and called him monster. Even though I feel bad for Shuro's death, and feel pity for Azaku, but I didn't want them to revive that much. I like them, alot, but for some reason I don't feel the same love I have for alot of other characters. From other manga I mean.

That's probably issue on my side, so ignoring that for now. The manga isn't bad, not bad at all. Although a bit awkward here and there, perhaps a bit rushed, but the plot was interesting. And although this might have been the reason for all my problems when reading the manga, I liked how real they portrait the dark side of humans.

In short, it's a great manga. Worth the read definitely. However... there's just something that keeps me from separating it from the rest. Basically, it's a great manga and an average manga at the same time. I have no idea if that is just an extension to my personal problems though.

A very good manga. The ending was a bit too predictable, and I didn´t like it much, but the story was very interesting, and with a small number of cliches, which is a very good thing. All in all, a 9, mostly because of the ending.

A compeling story

Overall I liked a lo the manga since it explores some aspects of human nature in a very twisted way. So the story is good as well as the plot development. The only drawback is that I did not like the drawing style... seemed a little weird for me, but that is just personal taste.

Standard

by sinthusunlimited

I began reading scanlated mangas with Death Note but it had its shortcomings. When I read Eternal Sabbath, however, I found my standard +10 manga. I tend to rate other mangas I've read against Eternal Sabbath. I haven't found a manga who can unseat it from its rating. It's that good.

The characterization is well-done and is further enhanced by skilled artwork. The backdrops are clean and clear. The plot is well-paced and the resolution was satisfying. I like this manga because it's not long-winded. It's very contained and the story-telling is credible. Dialogues are intelligent and somewhat witty. I found myself laughing out loud even at the midst of the story's growing tension. The theme is philosophical and leaves you with a whole lot of questions about life and the meaning of existence.

Eternal Sabbath is worth setting up as a standard 10!
