Starting Notes: Nobuhiro Watsuki, creator of such works as Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) and Buso Renkin has returned with a new work based on 2 previous One Shots. Embalming.
Synopsis: Fury and Ras, two boys who witnessed a brutal attack on their families by a monster 5 years ago, now have grown up and seek to hunt down the monster. For Fury it's revenge and for Ras it is out of pure curiosity of about the monster and its immense power. With the conclusion of their battle, Ras is dead and Fury is in a coma. Upon waking Fury discovers that the monster is a man-made being known as a Frankenstein, and is one of many. He now set out with the new goal of destroying the maker but first he must return home to inform everyone of Ras' death. However, to his amazement, Ras is alive and well and waiting for him to return!
Review: It keeps the power and techno-wonders of Buso Renkin, and it's got quite an interesting plotline running around, but...unlike Kenshin or Renkin, it lacks direction. I don't feel captivated by what's coming next. There isn't enough action suspense, but there is plot suspense. With what seems to be coming next, I'm getting a bit excited. I'd reccomend it to read, but not really to buy.
Closing Notes: Fights scenes do look good, and Watsuki-Sensei's comedic sense is still evident. It's interesting, the setting is kinda like a cross between Kenshin and Renkin but lost some of thier better points story wise.
