Durarara!!: Manga

review 1: I love manga series like Durarara, which reminds me a bit of Death Note in subtle ways. First are the over the top characters that I couldn't help but enjoy learning more about. Especially interesting is the plot of the headless rider that seems to be pulling all of these characters together. The reveal in this volume really made me want more. Which is painful, because I have been forcing myself to review each book before starting the next (something I don't always do). Just to keep things straight since it seems like a manga that will reveal a bit of the puzzle each time. The illustrations are simply awesome, I'm usually a sucker more for graphic novel illustrations because of the brilliant coloring, but this manga does quite a bit with the black and white illustrations. ... moreIt is hard to review this one without revealing some of the plot, so let's just say that the loose strings of plot from the first book are becoming quite a bit more taut. There is definitely more shown as to how the characters will eventually come together and an inkling of roles they will play in further volumes.Final Verdict: I literally will be diving into the next volume as soon as I wrap this review up. Definitely a series you do not want to miss if you like action-y manga with a dash of supernatural elements.
review 2: Well, this one will go down in my personal history as the first manga I read in Japanese. (Hopefully it won't be the last!) I admit that it helped that I knew the anime, but since that was kind of the point of picking that particular book... I'd say I understood about 50% completely, 30% I got at least the gist of and as for the rest I haven't got a clue but figure I still got the basics. I really love Durarara!! for its characters. Even though most of the humour passed me by, it's always a pleasure meeting these guys. (Especially Shizuo and Izaya - incidentally, their scene was the easiest to read; probably because it mostly consisted of them yelling at each other.)So yeah, that was fun and I'm quite proud of myself. (Also, at this point I have no choice to learn how to read manga in Japanese; considering the money I already spent on Japanese manga it'd be a huge waste of money, time and effort. So on I will go!) less
