challenging dark tense medium-paced

 Puanım 4/5 (%81/100)

Genel olarak başarılı bulsam da ilk cilt çıtayı çok yükseğe çıkardığı için onun kadar beğenmedim. Beklentilerim çok yüksek olduğu için bazı yerlerde tam karşılanmadığı oldu ama dediğim gibi genelini düşündüğümde ve ilk ciltle çok karşılaştırmazsam gayet güzeldi. Hikaye, Tenma'nın Johan yüzünden kaçak yaşaması üzerinden gidiyor. Oradan oraya savrulan Tenma Johan'a yaklaşmaya çalışıyor. Johan'ın erişilemez ve tanrısal bir figür olarak anlatılması da kitapta en sevdiğim şeylerdendi. Başlarda bazı kısımlar durgun olsa da son yarısı özellikle çok iyiydi. Devamı ne olacak merak ediyorum. Elimde şu an 3 ve 4.ciltler de var onlar bittikten sonra da büyük ihtimal devamının çıkmasını beklemeden İngilizce okurum diye düşünüyorum.

4.5 stars*

Really good second entry. The story widens up quite a bit and our main character gets involved in an unexpected plot. There are also new characters that i hope are in the third entry aswell because they're actually really interesting.

The artstyle is once again really great and simply unique to boot. You really feel that this plays out in a European setting.

I bought volumes 2, 3 and 4 together so i'll be jumping into vol.3 next, i can't wait to continue onwards.
