Ranked #68

Saiyuki Gaiden (Manga)

This story starts with a person named Konzen Douji, who lives a bored life, finding that his life is lukewarm, Heaven (where he lives) is lukewarm and everything surrounding him is LUKEWARM but let me tell you something: this story is anything BUT lukewarm.

Though maybe the story isn't an original but it does have its charm.

Drama,

Action,

CONSPIRACY.

Themes of the story.

The characters were refreshing, each of the characters had their own personality (no duh) but they were too different and the story brings them together by linking them. What I mean is, you wouldn't find such characters under any other circumstances which means that this story has circumstances. CIRCUMSTANCES that are hard to get by but well, this is a story and stories don't have to be realistic.
Remember when I mentioned that the main character lives in heaven? Yeah?

The illustration had the artist's style; though, to be honest, I didn't like it but the effort to put in the style is enough but that doesn't mean it is good. The features were too sharp and a bit unrealistic though the story had some rich detail. WHICH means that even if the illustrator adds their own style; it doesn't guarantee quality.

The story isn't too long so if you're looking for major character development or some rich characters or personalities; I guess you'll be disappointed but if your looking for a story to read for the hell of it, I recommend this story to YOU. read more
