Customer Reviews

simple yet, good

Unlike most current Manga I read this one was rather simple. The short stories where fun to read and the graphics were awesome. In short I recomend this book to anyone who wants to break away from the norm (not like you already havn't) and read this graphic novel.

Cute little sci-fi tales about a metal-eating bodyguard!

Taking place in a truly fantastic world full of all those mind-bogglingly well-detailed artwork of alien cities, this neat little collection of short "manga" stories stars "Eat Man", a brooding wayfarer behind dark shades who may or may not be a disguised cyborg that can easily consume and digest a whole array of weapons to be regurgitated through his wrist into a brand-new gun! What's more, this lone adventurer also seems to possess a real magnetism with a whole assortment of such cute, helpless little girl-child waifs who are all too eager to snuggle right under his protective wing for some warmth and a little fatherly affection. Especially a wide-eyed young princess enthusiastically trying to tag along as a new sidekick, yet keeps getting herself into all sorts of scraps! So it's up to the reluctant hero to save the ditzy little wench. But not to worry, the other girls who follow are not as fluff-brained. In all, those are such charming little adventures for the grim yet charismatic "ladies' man"!

Great unique comic

Eat-man is the story of a mercenary/bodyguard/wanderer named Bolt Crank. Mr. Crank has the ability to eat things--piece by piece if necessary--and then grow them out of his hand. He gets himself into all manner of wacky situation, and always keeps his cool. Very good storytelling and memorable characters. There's also a second book.
