Synopsis

Within an abandoned building in South Korea lies a white coffin, from which rises Cadis Etrama Di Raizel "Rai"—an unimaginably beautiful, dignified, and noble man. Awakening in this unknown time, Rai must seek out someone he can trust—his loyal companion, Frankenstein. To begin with, Rai attempts to blend into human society by transforming his old-fashioned clothing into the pristine blazer of the nearby Ye Ran High School. As it turns out, the principal of the school is his servant Frankenstein.

After slumbering for the past 820 years, Rai requires Frankenstein's help to adapt to the current age, so Frankenstein enrolls him as a new student in order to help him understand modern society and experience a normal life. Frankenstein's plans, however, soon go awry not only because of the problems stemming from modern society, but also unresolved conflicts from him and his master's troubled past. Left with no other choice, Rai must resort to using his mysterious power to protect those he holds dear.

Reviews

Despite being predictable to a fault and overindulging in overused story structures, Noblesse hides a lot of charm behind its endearing cast, humorous gags, and unique approach to the supernatural genre. There are many standout characters in this ever-increasing, diverse familial group, and this appealing attachment is a highlight. The comedy was genuinely funny. And the methodology of writing vampires, werewolves, and humans, and the balance between them, was well done. The power scaling and stakes relied on convenience akin to the Dragon Ball series, but the action became more dynamic with the noticeable artistic growth of the illustrators. Overall, a simplistic yet enjoyable manhwa.

Mixed Feelings
Plot is a bit strange and not held together well, lots of filler fight scenes especially in the later arcs. Lots of plot armor too, however it’s a pretty good concept and I enjoyed reading it very much.

Characters were very funny and realistic with the way they behaved, getting to see everyone become friends and build relationships really helped bring the story together.

The art is a bit weird at the beginning. (Almost reminds me of yaoi art that everyone makes fun of for some reason lol.) However it greatly improves throughout the series and is incredibly good at the end of the manga.

Overall, ...

Sure, the first part is good. A little bit of humor, some mystery, interesting characters, but then the remaining 400 chapters happened... Unbelievably repetitive. Random bad guy shows up, transforms into weird monster thing, and then starts shooting laser beams. At its core this is just mindless battle shonen, and the combat feels VERY dated. No strategy whatsoever. You know enemy #217 is more powerful than enemy #216 because they arrived later. It's basically a conveyor belt of bland enemies, and it gets old fast. The artwork is the bare minimum here and doesn't really fit the heavy action at all. Disappointing series for sure.
