Dendrobates · review

8 /10

Not saying this is the best manga ever or trying desperately to get people to read it, however, I think if you enjoy Seinen, action, and movies like John Wick, then this manga could be right up your alley. Story=7 Yes, the story is predictable, but don't you just want to see bad guys being bad and then getting their asses totally handed to them without too much complication sometimes? What this manga lacks in ingenuity it makes up for in just plain satisfying action like shooting, explosions, stabbing, oh, and did I mention shooting? Character=10 While the story is pretty basic, the character is actuallyquite a wonderful creation. His origins, the symbolic relationship with the frog (just look up Dendrobates), his superhero duality, and his psycho-killer demeanor make for a fun combination. Yes, Sengawa is a hero, but he's more an anti hero in the line of Dexter, probably a sociopath and certainly murderous, but somehow ends up in the right.

Art=7 The artwork is, however, sadly up and down. Some panels are superb, 10 out of 10, which was what attracted me to the manga in the first place. The thick use of black color blocks and interesting angles make for tantalizing stand alone pieces in many of the chapters of this manga. But the art doesn't always keep up throughout. With some weird proportions and messiness that sometimes can even lead to confusion as to what is actually happening in the scene, I had to give it a 7.

Overall, though, at only 58 brief chapters, this wasn't too long of a commitment, so why not give it a try? Enjoyable, fun, and satisfying (did I mention the shooting?), I would recommend this to anyone looking for some action-packed distraction.
