Synopsis

Shiki Toono awakens in a hospital to find the walls and people around him covered in black lines. Unable to recall his past memories, Shiki is told that he survived a fatal car accident, which left a fragment lodged into his chest. His attraction to the lines lead him to trace over an object, revealing his ability to destroy it. After realizing only he is able to see these lines, Shiki is given a pair of glasses to mask them, before starting a new life with his relatives.

Eight years later, the death of his father leads Shiki back to the Toono mansion, his childhood home. One day, leaving school due to anxiety, he passes by a mysterious woman. A sudden urge overtakes him, and once again, he uses his ability to trace the lines that cover her. Soon after, he wakes up in the mansion, questioning whether what had transpired was a dream or reality.

Shingetsutan Tsukihime tells a tale enveloped in adventure, romance, and mystery. As Shiki begins to unveil his past, what lingers in the unknown soon comes back to haunt him.

Warning, this review may contains spoilers.

First impressions:
So, this manga is based off the hentai game and that adapts one the original routes in its entirety. It seems interesting enough, we’ve got vampires killing people and some romance developing in the background. I wonder how they will handle this.

Story: 6/10
Our tale begins with our main character Shiki Tohno who’s moved back into his family home after years of being taken care of by distant relatives, which he went to live with after a major incident that nearly killed him and gave him the ability to see lines of death. While getting used to being ...

Hey guys, let me ask you a question. Do you like Tsukihime? Do you think it’s an engaging, complex, and well-narrated series? Do you think it manages to address the general flaws of the TYPE-MOON franchise? Hell, do you believe it’s TYPE-MOON’s best work? Because I personally don’t and I think there are a lot of errors that manage to body this series so hard. To be fair, though, I appreciate how ambitious and influential Tsukihime is, mainly as a piece of memory in the TYPE-MOON franchise because of how it’s the bridge between Kara no Kyoukai and the iconic Fate series. As an actual ...
