Angel Beats! Heaven's Door (Manga)

Well, this is a must read if you completed anime and also loved it. I strongly recommend it to all fans of Angel Beats out there who are looking for more of it. But beware, this is not a sequel to anime. This is pure prequel(at least going by 11 chapters).

[Story - 8]
There aren't many particular happenings in the story. Its more like prequel to the anime as it shows how they all met in the after world. And the fact that they all still try to sabotage Kanade, and meet the God of that world.

[Art- 9]
Art is really beautiful, there are backgrounds in almost every panel, but manga itself isnt chaotic, and the pages black and white colors are well balanced.

[Characters- 8]
First characters we see in it are Hinata, Oyama, Kanade & Yuri. Of course, they are crazy as always, and are still trying to make chaos with Kanade's life. There is also some more character development between Hinata and Yuri, hinting that Hinata truly loves Yuri. And there is more hints to the Hinata's past.

[Enjoyment- 9]
The story, art, and the humor itself is pure copy of anime. I am definitely enjoying reading this manga, because im still sad angel beats anime wasnt longer T_T

[Overall- 8]

like i said...read this if you wanna know more about other characters, want to know what happened before the story of anime, or if you still havent had enough dose of AB....but still, it has some cute moments and it completely has the spirit of the anime :D read more

Did you love Angel Beats & didn't want it to end,wanting something more??Then this is the manga for you.It is a prequel to the main series,so if you want to know the events which occurred in the formation of SSS then you should definitely give it a go.


Story:-(8/10)

I loved the main series story.A group of people spending their lives in their afterlife is definitely a interesting thing to see!The story is about Hinata & Yuri,how they formed SSS club & how other members joined it..It also explains how & when Yuri started thinking of Kanade as representative of the God.

I love the story as it makes things a bit more clear.It is really interesting to see the formation of SSS & the lives of its members before Otonashi's arrival.


Art:-(9/10)

The art is clean & very beautiful.It is neither rushed nor too empty.The backgrounds are explained carefully.The character are also drawn nicely & they look awesome.The blood also looks realistic(for any blood lovers,T_T)In other words,the art is lovable.


Characters:-(10/10)

Now,this was the one of the strongest point of the original series so why would I not like them in this manga?I love the characters of "Angel Beats"This time,the story is more focused on Hinata as he is the main character.How he meets Yuri(who,as usual,shows great leadership abilities) is explained nicely.Their are also POSSIBLE hints about POSSIBLE romance between Yuri & Hinata,about which I was not too happy as I am more of Hinata x Yui fan.

This series also explains how SSS members joined the group & give more details on their past,how they died etc.So, any person who thinks that the main series lacked in character development,should definitely give it a go,as it explains all the characters more deeply & give them enough time before moving on.


Enjoyment/Overall:-(9/10)

I am absolutely enjoying it.Its a really nice manga & interactions between the characters are lovable.

I will give it a 9 as it great prequel to the main series.So any Angel Beats fans are welcome to read this:D as it is a really nice prequel.You can also read this first & watch the anime afterwards just to be a little bit more sure on what is happening.
