King of Hell (Manhwa)

King of Hell (AKA Majeh in Korea) is one of my top favorite manhwa series to date. For those of you that don't know what the term manhwa means, it's similar to manga graphic novels except these novels are published in Korea and is normally read in the same direction as English books.

Like some Korean Manhwa, the way that volume #1 was introduced was a little odd and the story wasn't well driven making some people that were reading it might not want to read past this one. If you one of those that hanged on into reading this series (like me) after volume 2 and beyond, you'll see that the creator has drastically improved the storyline and the character development.

The series introduces our protagonist going by the name of Majeh in sort is kind of like a soul reaper that collects souls and brings them over to the next world for the King of Hell. When some evil spirits started escaping to the living world, the King of Hell had Majeh’s spirit returned to his body (Which is still perfectly preserved in the living world) and ordered Majeh to hunt down and capture these demons.

The series introduces many characters in which some supports Majeh on his journey into finding the escape demons.

So far this manhwa has 31 volumes currently released in Korea and it's getting better and better with each passing volume. It looks like the series will last longer than most manhwa series that I've seen up to date. I would like to see them get one of Japan anime studio companies to produce an anime of this series.

Overall this manhwa provides lots of action, fight scenes, and some humor and would recommend it if you're a big fan of Bleach.
