Ginta, our main character, is very funny at times and I can relate him to Frodo, from Lord of the Rings. In some characteristics, of course not all of them, I think other readers would agree with me on this. ^_^
One of the characters, Jack, once annoyed me, but after I awhile I accepted and then really enjoyed his part in the story, and that kind of attitude in a story is what I really look for.
Also, the Evil side of this world, the Chess No Koma, is a wonderful, fresh form of evil!! Haha, they truly are, with their very interesting characters, their motives for their actions, and their reasoning. Take Ash, Girom, and Phantom as examples. :)
I think that most of the characters in this story are well developed and very funny, so with that, I'm giving this a 9. (although I wanted a 8.5, that would be ridiculous)
As a side note, I don't really judge too harshly on art, since I can't draw crap! So for this manga, I think the art was pretty nice, and at times paritally strange, off, or annoying.
P.S. I hope you thought this review was okay, (sorry if you didn't!) because it is my first!
