I don't like anime but this one is fairly ok. I really only tolerate the art because I enjoy the story. This is the first manga I've ever read. I've watched the entire movie series of Hellsing and my boyfriend had the manga lying around so I decided to read it. Took a little getting used to because it is obviously set up in the Japanese book style. When it comes to the style of Hellsing, I find it a little better then others I've seen, but I still don't find it that good. Pretty much the only reason to read this is the story. I will probably read the others but Hellsing is going to be the beginning and then end to any manga experience I will ever have in my life.

Kinda ugly artwork accentuates an otherwise interesting story. I'm hoping the artwork grows on me in the next volume [EDIT: It does. The mangaka seemed to get a bit lazy in some panels with his characters/backgrounds, which lessens in later volumes [I've read 4 vols. as of 1/6/15], though he seems to become obsessed with drawing feet in later volumes as well).

I really like this manga but I don't think I'm going to get to the other volumes any time soon because I am just dying to get to the anime. I want to watch this so bad because if it follows this manga, it's finna be lit af. The blood, gore and fighting has my head reeling, it's everything I love in my manga/anime.

What I have to say Hellsing was an amazing anime so I had to read all of the mangas. And I am completely satisfied to know that the anime was that amazing because they adapted all most everything from the manga.

Things like those freak me out.
It is the greatest horror read of mine. I enjoyed it, but it lacked that coherence.
I do not know, it didn't make me scream or something. I have seen the anime and it had a really BIG effect on me. Well, I guess that the thirty pages chapters do not have a great base to stand tall enough.

It didn't work it out well for me, but it isn't really bad. I mean... the story is as good as I remember. Some pages freaked me out completely!! And unlikely for me, I liked this horror thriller thing.
