This manga is great, don't get me wrong. The only thing I would say to anyone looking to get into this is that the books are 100 times better, and the manga should only be read once you have read the books imo. I gave the story outstanding because after all, it is a masterpiece. Darren shan is an amazing writer and having read all the books myself (as well as the saga of larten crepsley), I can say that having this level of art gives a bit more context and value to the story. This is my 1st ever review so don't judge. thx =)
