Synopsis

A young girl named Rahzel is booted out of her house one day by her father with the instructions to 'see the world.' And so her journey begins, However, she won't be doing it alone...for she befriends a stoic young man named Alzeid seeking revenge for his father's murder.

Alzeid and Rahzel are like oil and water...but even still, they feel strangely drawn to one another. This could be either the result of an underlying attraction—or their shared powers with magic. And so, the two reluctant allies travel from town to town, using their powers to help the helpless, while discovering their own respective places in the world.

Preliminary (92/195 eps)
Story:


This... is a quirky tale about a girl's adventure in the world that goes a lot darker than it might seem at first glance. It's filled with paradoxes, mysteries, secret pasts, guns, quips, ghosts, spoiler stuff I won't disclose, fashion, blood, and magic. It's a story about trust, and the bonds we have that can overcome whatever obstacles we come across- be it memory, or time, or death.

To be honest, the authoress seems to be dabbling in a few genres; action, adventure, sci-fi, etc. And, at least for me, it's hard to find a plot as intricate as this one without straying from the 'shounen' ...

Most of us associate the genre ‘josei’ with either some sort of slice-of-life story, major character development, or those harlequin stories. Hatenkou Yuugi is the perfect example of a manga that completely disregards the above three stereotypes, and instead, creates it’s own respective place as a josei (and yes, it is a josei).

Though first few volumes lead you to believe it’s a very sloppy/ugly example of a episodic josei, it’s just the foundation for an even greater story. This is a manga where you have to read the entire thing before you understand it. The faint connections between Rahzel, Alzeid, and Baroqueheat run much deeper ...

Honestly, I believe this deserves a ten in everything.

The manga is excellently developed, plot focused and the insecurities and interpersonal relationships of all the characters is executed in a simply beautiful manner.

If you're put off by the art--mind you that the picture here is from one of the earlier volumes. This manga has been going on for years and Minari Endoh's style has changed and developed to something incredibly unique.

Her humor is gold. There's dark comedy, slapstick, puns and everything else you can think of. The plot is full of twists and the characters are all incredibly human... even if they're not ...
