Tokyo Akazukin (Tokyo Red Riding Hood) is, in one word, bizarre. Tamaoka Benkyo has essentially created a gruesome, unique world by colliding Red Riding Hood with Hellsing and adding a dash of Waita Uziga. While the manga first appears to be that of a loli-guro doujinshi, readers will be more than pleasantly surprised at the development of the story through all four volumes. That is, if they can get past the graphic violence and sex that is frequently depicted.
The story of Tokyo Akazukin is a unique one. Following a young, immortal girl through the dirtiest parts of Tokyo, it provides a dark and eerie

I'm thinking to myself: "what would happen if Tokyo Akazukin should be made into a anime?" Well the US would probably ban it for sexual exploit of underage ecchi. But Tokyo Red Hood shouldn't JUST be blamed\credited for that; it also has an healthy dose of gore and visual horror.
Tokyo Akazukin can be described as 'dementedly weird' or 'twisted wonderful'. You really only have to read the first chapter to see if its up to your speed or not. To me it clearly was. Meet the lusty Red Hood, a small girl who has no memory of her past or who she really is. She's a ...

I do not actually know where to begin with this one, but I will try. I felt that I had to write about this manga after finishing it a moment ago.
Due to reading a rather rough translation, most of the story content was a bit hard to pick up, but the central focus is on the titular Akazukin. A "little girl" who is trying to, well, you know the rest if you already read the synopsis. Along the way, she meets other demons and befriends them as they help her to reach her goal of being devoured by Mr. Wolf. There are humans that attempt ... |
