Gekiryuuchi (Manga)

This is a pretty realistic fighting manga , as realistic as works of fiction can get concerning the subject of fighting , and from what little information there is on it on the net , seems like that was it's downfall.

The story isn't original , a bullied kid who snaps and realises giving is better than receiving ( especially if it's pain ). It starts of well , the first few chapters are interesting , they make you want more. After 3,4 chapters i though "hey this is the new Holyland ! "... but... it was canceled. And as a consequence , quite a bit of action and the ending were rushed , obviously it didn't become what it could've been , and as a whole it's a bit disappointing.

There isn't really much that can be said about the characters , they're fairly cliche.

The art is ok , the fights are brutal , well drawn , full of blood , and interesting.

In conclusion if you're looking for a realistic manga , that can be a bit depressing and very bloody give Gekiryuuchi a try... read more

Gekiryuuchi starts off promising, becomes some-what weak by the middle and leads to an almost rushed ending.

While the story-line and motivation that drives the lead character seem strong in the early part of the manga, the mere 25 chapters the story had to work with just isn't enough to completely carry through that strength to the finale and thus the manga concludes in something of a hurry and leaves me feeling a bit let down considering all of the hype in the early chapters.

Regardless, Gekiryuuchi is still quite enjoyable as a steet-fighting based manga but don't go expecting it to quite live up to the depth of the likes of Holyland.

7.5/10 from me! read more
