Summary: An amazing look at immortality and the human psyche
Review: Immortal Rain is one of the best manga I've ever read. The characters are extremely diverse, and the entire plot is intricate and fascinating.

From the start, the manga catches you in its spell, introducing Rain Jewlett as "an immortal who plays a violin so badly that the heavens weep." With a bittersweet humor that makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time, Immortal Rain is lovely and enthralling, something I'd read over and over again.

Summary: Absolutely Superb
Review: Immortal Rain was the very first Manga book that I have ever read.At first, reading a manga book can be quite confusing because of the right-to-left reading pattern. Once you get the hang of it these books become very enjoyable. I found Immortal Rain to be absolutely wonderful. What Can I say about it? It has the elements that many look for in a good book. It has action, drama and even some comical moments! It contains a well put together story-line and talented artwork.
Rain Jewlitt is 624 is an immortal man known as Methuselah, whose only possession is a violin that he plays so badly that the heavens cry. Rain is much like an eternally young hippie. He is being hunted by people who either want to collect the bounty on his head or study him and unlock the secrets of his immortality. Machika Balfaltin, an energetic, tomboyish 14-year-old girl is one of his pursuers who just wants him dead. Upon the death of her grandfather,she sets out to kill Methuselah, the one bounty her assassin grandfather, Zol the Grim Reaper, couldn't kill. Instead, however, Machika ends up being saved by Rain repeatedly from other aspiring bounty hunters attacking them both. This seems to form the bonds of the ultimate odd couple.
Meteor Methuselah (as it is called in Japan) is a great read for teens and adults of all ages.

Summary: Wonderful work of art
Review: This is a wonderful story that just happens to also be a manga. It takes a good look at humanity through the themes of immortality/mortality and relationships, though it has the typical manga humor and sap thrown in to keep the tension from becoming too much. The artwork is gorgeous, ranging from typical manga style to beautiful lines and details. Overall, I love this story and am glad I'm reading it. It just gets better with each volume! I'm waiting impatiently for the fourth volume in January.
