Manga review#2:Until Death Do Us Apart.

Okay guys,after long holidays of manga blogging,im back with new action-packed manga for action and thrill lovers!(Sorry,no applicable picture to be used in introduction,haha)


Title:Until Death Do Us Part.
Genre:Action,Adventure,Drama,Martial Arts(Hell yeah!),Sci-fi(Means science fiction,you guys know what it is,isnt it?),Seinen(for adult men,aged 19 or above,but heck,im 18,but i already read it,lol).
Author:Takashige Hiroshi.
Artist:Double-s.
Year of release:2005
Status:Ongoing(the manga is not gonna end yet)
Latest Chapter:Chapter 118.


The story is about a girl who named Haruka Tohyama(or Tōyama) who is hunted down by Yakuza because of her abilities to see a future a.k.a Precog.When she was captured by Yakuza,she predicts that she will meet her protector during the ride with the Yakuza.When she sees a blind guy which she sees in her vision as her saviour,she runs to him and ask a help from him to protect her from the Yakuza or any other people who threaten her life.This blind guy,named Hijikata Mamoru,is running a test to check the latest gadgets that he got,a sunglasses with a sonar technology(see chapter 1 to know more).

When Hijikata says for how long he needs to serve her,she said 'Until Death Do Us Part',thus the title of the manga.He then reject the request from her because he thinks its a joke from a 12 year old girl(yes,Haruka Tohyama is 12 years old during the beginning of the manga) but when he sees a Yakuza people surround him,he then accept her offer.Thus,it begins the journey of Hijikata Mamoru and Haruka Tohyama into the deepest and darkest part of underworld crime,but with help from Elements Network,a vigilante organisation,a blade/katana which can cut through anything from molecular level(damn cool!) and a trusty partner who named Ryōtarō Igawa,who specialised in electronics,handles Mamoru equipment from afar(or in a van,actually) and give a necessary info to Mamoru during his mission,he will survive in his fight against the underworld crime.

Well,that's the summary of the story.In my own opinion,this manga is very good for a action and thrill lovers(like me!)because it mixes a good martial arts and use of weapons.The hero,eventhough he is blind,he is freaking strong and know how to handle a katana very well.
Imagines what happen when a girl with an ability to see a future and a blind yet very strong guy who know martial arts and advanced use of katana+hi-tech stuff in a team?Of course,near-perfect team!

The major drawback of this manga is......i dont know,maybe the story itself. This is because this story is filled with gore sometimes,haha.It is not advisable to read this manga for people who cant watch a limb comes off or a spurting blood....i warned ya.
But,the choice is yours.

Overall,this manga is awesome and depict a high-tech stuff that might be possible in near future.
I hope this manga will get a high publicity,one day because this manga lacks publicity.If this manga is made into anime....ohhhhh yeahhhh,it will be AWESOME!
