SynopsisIt is a world full of monsters and adventurers who hunt them. They are called Monster Hunters. The plot revolves around a young Monster Hunter, Shiki. When Shiki was a young boy, he was taken as an apprentice to a Monster Hunter named Gurelli, but it was not too long after that Gurelli was killed by a gunpowder accident. After a few years, he comes back to Akamaaya Town (where his master resided) to join the guild there. In that guild, he meets a girl called Irie and after a series of events, he finds that she is the daughter of his master. From this point onwards, they form a party to find the legendary Miogaruna, which was Gurelli's life-long ambition. (Source: Wikipedia) |

Same author, so it has same drawing style. Shounen manga with fights, humour and nice plot.
Basicly it is about the same thing:
Guilds, creating a team, missions, master dead/disappear mysteriously, unique powers.
The similarity is probably because it is the same author.
Both manga's have the same author/artists and are equal on a lot of levels, like the characters, story influences/plotstuff etc.

same author and has a similiar atmosphere.
Both are from the same author (hiro mashima),
if you liked fairy tail and monster soul you will also enjoy monster hunter orage.

Aug 15, 20084 of ? chapters read 4 of 5 people found this review helpful I've only read 4 chapters so this review may be changed later... Who am I kidding, I've been using this site nearly a year and this is my first review. It's not gonna change -_-
Enjoyment:
I'll start out on a positive note by saying that I was pleasantly surprised with how well these first few chapters turned out. As 95% of you know, this was based off a video game. I own one of them and, although I suck at it -_-, I still recognised some of the equipment a...nd most of the monsters in the manga, which I was impressed by. There is actually a good mix of action and humor while it still follows the game.
Story:
As that other reviewer (I'm too lazy to go back and find your name) was saying, you can't really expect much of a story from a manga based off a game with no story. Basicly a simple-minded guy that doesn't think a bunch meets a girl that is much more independent, but secretly has a deep respect for him, and they travel across the world meeting other people along the way that decide to tag along for their own reasons. I really can't say it's an original plot at all. It does look like there will be a few twists. You probably won't read it for the story.
Art:
The characters look the same as all of his other stuff... which all look the same as One Piece. If you like One Piece art, then you'll like this art, nuff said. Every once and a while there will also be a detailed drawing, probably of a monster, but overall the art isn't as consistant as I would like.
... But I still think it's pretty good.
Character:
I'm gonna start by saying that the hero in the story, Shiki, is a complete copy of Natsu, from his other manga Fairy Tail. Natsu is a complete copy of Luffy from One Piece. Nothing else is really worth mentioning. I think all of the characters are good, but theres no way they're getting on my favorites list.
Sound:
lol just kidding xD
Overall anyone who enjoys any of the shows in the "User Reccomendations" should like this (surprise surprise -_-). If you like the games and don't hate One-Piece-like stuff then you should check it out.
God that took a long time... it will be a loooooooooong time before I write another review o_O read more

Oct 25, 2008? chapters 1 of 2 people found this review helpful Ever played a game called Monster Hunter? (MHF2, MH2G) Well i did, and im down right happy with this accidental discovery.
In a world where hunters exists, as its titles says, its land are ruled by monsters. A boy named Shiki, an orphan, was taken in and trained by a travelling hunter. After training for quite sometime, the trainer dies, ironically due to an accident. His by then, master belonged to a group of special hunters called, Forbidden Hunters. These people had special pre...villeges and a tattoo to show as proof. A little timeskip after the death of his master, shiki, bearing the tattoo given by his master, was well on his way out into the world of hunters. He met with people along the way, that was again, ironically connected to one another. As the story folds out, shiki travels with a group of comrades, each having the same if not individual goals. Despite him being a random idiot and cracking out cold jokes, he manages to get rivals and enemies too. The story is still going on, as the game proved its enjoyment to me, hopefully the story continues to get better.
if you like the type of manga that often shows burning desire, spewing out random phrases, loud-brash personality, group of people travelling together, unique weapons and big-big monsters. This should do you good.
Any of you holds the title of HR 6?. Meaning to say, played the game but haven read it yet, take it as another way to look at the game with the difference of having a storyline. The art, i feel, is emphasized on the monsters, characters and of course, serious scences. Although it would be unfair to compare it this way, the background, however, is a far cry from how it is in actual gaming.
I gave 8 to enjoyment because i laughed alot. As the game itself is serious, shiki's randomness antics and the situation he gets himself into due to his carelessness and stupidity is surprisingly humorous. I didnt know i could easily be made to laugh. Read it and let me know. read more

Jul 14, 20083 of ? chapters read 0 of 17 people found this review helpful Taken from a capcom game, it has a weak story, considering that the game has no story at all. The only thing I like about this manga is that I play monster hunter and I'm a fan myself. Although, I'm not saying it's bad. It's(the manga) fun, exciting and thrilling on how the main characters are going to portray their role. BUT doesn't have a decent story at all.
Anyway, aside from the story, MHO still has their points. Cool weapons taken from the original game. The way it was drawn... seem like you're playing the manga instead of reading it. I just hope that the mangaka would intrudoce all, if not, most of the weapons in the game.
Overall, It wipes out boredom. As for a monster hunter fan, I can say I enjoyed it. But as a manga an anime critic, Its below my list. read more
