Customer Reviews

Great but short

I absolutely loved the style of the manga. The story -until the end and I'll explain why- pulled me in and always kept me reading on. The ending was a let down though. I bought this at first not knowing that it was a mini series; no one I knew had known anything about this series. It started out as a normal manga, with a good long story going (with a great backstory in hiding), but this was short lived. The story ends at the third book. At first I thought it was just the end of a shorter story in a great epic, but I was wrong. It ends very quickly, without wrapping up loose ends. It's a let down given how great a style and story this manga actually is.

Sword of the Dark Ones

This manga miniseries is pack with amazing artistry and the overall story pulled me further into the story of Leroy Schwartz. The only disappointing things is, as mentioned before it is a miniseries. However, it is definitely worth reading. CMX definitely invests in good manga. To those that read this review, I say I hope you enjoy this manga as much as I.
