March Story

review 1: We follow the character, March, who works the Ciste Vihad. This group persists and executes the destruction of demons known as 'the Ill.' In this world demons are hidden within beautiful pieces of art (jewelry, paintings, ect.) created out of the anguish of their artists. Visually creative and quite stunning in some scenes. However, there is mature content in this series, so not for young'uns. It had some nudity, yes, but it was more of just strategically placed art than a demeaning representation of a human body. Meaning it didn't show much. I would say the mature content comes mostly from violent action and torture scenes. They were dark and horrific, but unless you have a severely sensitive/defective pharyngeal reflex, you should not have a problem.Now, for our main cha... moreracter. March is strong and resilient, despite having a darker history than anyone else we have met so far involving the Ill. March's character is endearing and beautifully tragic. Plus, I never realized how cool fighting with thorn whips could be.I highly recommend this series as it gives a very promising and solid beginning.
review 2: (warning, it is MA - violent, graphic, and contains nudity.)The artwork is beautiful, and reminds me a lot of Kaori Yuki (Godchild/Angel Sanctuary), Mitsukazu Mihara (Doll) and Tomoko Hayakawa (Wallflower.) And yes it's "Manhwa" (Korean- not Japanese) but... if anything, that makes it more hard-edged in my opinion.Other than that... typical demon hunter w/a past, thinly veiled plays on historical events (Countess Bathory in one story) and a bit of romantic tension.But it's quality: no gaping plot holes, or (so far) characters acting dumb just for sake of plot points.I recommend it. (Also was kinda surprised that I'd read some of Kyung-Ill Yang's stuff before: The "Island" series. less
