Mr. Mori, creates an extremely entertaining psychological 'realistic' martial arts thriller, with character growth that fills you with hope. He expertly paces the narrative, with conjured dark violence punctuated by light hearted banter that gives you time to breathe, before taking another plunge into Yuu's malevolence.
But as with many mangas appreciating the visual style is up to the reader. Personally I think that it works with the manga, but to each his own.
If you are tired of reading bleach, naruto, one piece, and have decided to grow up alittle, read Holyland by Mori Kouji.
