Yureka takes place in the future of Korea in which the online game called Lost Saga is the most
popular MMORPG at that time. The manga starts slow, but gets really good after a handful of chapters.
Character
. The lead character Jang- gun is one of the better players in Lost Saga. He could be a bit
arrogant, but his quick- thinking and strategic thinking makes him one of the tougher opponent to beat, Yureka is a mysterious girl in which you learn more about her as the story progresses.
The author has introduced a lot of characters into the story, and does a pretty good job in having
the fact that each of the characters play some role in the plot of the story. The characters is really
one of the most strongest aspects of the story. Since it is a MMORPG, each character is a part of
a class or classes. One of the things that the author does is pitting characters against other. The
battles themselves are just who has the strongest spell or items, each character has his or her style
fighting in which these styles clash when they fight. It often leads to some exciting battles, but
I have to say 60% to 70% of the manhwa is filled these kinds of battles. So be prepared, but the
battles are exciting and the character’s themselves have their own beliefs and ego in which they play which adds enrichment to the story.
Art
I am not myself an art critique. The art is really good, but nothing fantastic.
Plot.
Like I said earlier, there is going to be a lot of player(s) vs. player(s) battles, but I feel that each
battle adds some kind of character development to each of the characters which adds to the plot.
Well the plot itself is basically about the mysterious character Yureka and the future of Lost Saga
in which they are going through some big changes. As you read the plot gets bigger and bigger, however there are some darker elements that arrive later in the story that adds some depth overall to the entire story.
In conclusion, I think Yureka is an enjoyable MMORPG which has many interesting things
about the story. Unlike another story like cough..(SAO), I feel that the characters have real
feelings and have real society impact. It is basically a serious and more realistic SAO.
