Evil's Return, Vol. 2

Summary: it was ok.....
Review: I have just started to read manga, and Evils Return really dissapointed me. The artwork was good, but not a lot happend in the story. It was boring, there were to many pictures and not enough talking, and i don't like any of the characters. There was mild language and i found myself often looking at an almost naked girl. Don't waist your money on this manga. Although this is only my opinion, i'm a teen after all.

Summary: One star is far, far too kind.
Review: This manga is so ultimately bad that I had a hard time deciding whether it or Battle Vixens was worse.
But Evil's Return definitley takes the Most-Pathetic-and-Stupidly-laughoutloud-story-I-have-ever-heard award.
When Yumi gets her period (all over the place) it signals to all the demons out there that she's ripe for impregnation so they come to track her down and PLANT THE SEED OF SATAN IN HER WOMB! Geez, no matter HOW many times I say or write that, I still crack up laughing. I am completely at a loss as to how this even got published. I'm guessing it was only licensed as Tokyopop wanted to license as much korean titles as possible.
It's not just the story that is woefully bad, it's also very poorly written and half the time makes no sense. Without the cover art, the reader probably couldnt even register who was the main character. I only know that Yumi is because she's ON the cover. Apart from that, all I know about her is that she's a empty husk with no personality or character whatsoever. On top of that, the whole book took me ten or less minutes to read. Considering most manga takes me around 40 minutes to an hour to get through, that's really pathetic. This is due to the fact that even though the page count is the same of any other manga, the text is limited, there are minimum panels on each page and there is frequent need to take up whole pages with pointless full body shots. Simply a technique to heighten the page count.
The only reason I read Evil's Return was that I had heard how hilariously bad it was and just HAD to see how it was.
Do not buy this. If you feel the urge to see just how bad it is, read it in a bookstore or library if you get the chance.
You can really tell how bad a manga is when it's laugh-out-loud hilarious...when the humour isnt intentional.

Summary: Great art work
Review: When I finished reading this book, I had to stop and think about what I just read. Not because the book was confusing, but because there was hardly any talking. From the dialoge that was said you or at least I got that feeling that something important is about to happen. The book just cuts off in the end with out explaining what just took place the precending pages. If you want to find out what happen I would suggest you pick up volumes 1 and 2 at the same time, but since 2 has not come out as of today 8-2-04) you might have to wait awhile. The art work is great. And yes you well be looking a a half naked female most the time.
