Review: Definitely look into if you're a Seraph/Guren fan - I've recently become a fan of Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End. I've been wanting to get the manga for some time, but stumbled across the anime first, watching through it as fast as I was able, falling in love with the story I was given. Like many, however, I became enthralled and interested with the characters of Guren and Mahiru together--their relationship, the history between the Ichinose and Hiragi, the sacrifices it took to make the cursed gear; all around, what life and expectations were before the "trumpets of the apocalypse" and after (and much else). This is probably the most enjoyable light novel I've read, from a personal perspective. This book is actually two parts, or "book one" & "book two". So far, on my first read through, I've found little continuity issues. Just cool bits that are fun to find out for fans of the show and manga. So far, the information given adds and explains what you, the reader/watcher, have already learned from "Vampire Reign". You learn why Mito's hair is fire red, more of the lore and inner workings of how a cursed blade should work, in theory. Right now, I've halted where I got in the manga and am reading this first, considering it can be viewed, and really is, in my opinion, a prequel to Yū's arc in "Vampire Reign". This is was happens before the vampires take over. These are the events and people close to the heart of the war we end up witnessing. The author and artist are the same, which keeps the voice and feel of the art consistent, and the world seamless with VR as its counterpart. I enjoyed seeing Guren's story as a Light Novel, the images depicted are smart and obviously chosen well. They introduce you to key characters, show you important moments, and illustrate pieces of this story that remind you of your investment in Guren and the other's experience. They aren't just images out there for us to look at so we don't get bored, it's so we understand that these are key elements within the narrative that attribute to the character and scene shown within them, and what is happening to them also. Both author and artist paid attention here; at the very least, it feels that way when reading and viewing it together. However these choices were made, on a personal level, I felt they were placed well and aided me in what I was reading. --- When leaving a review I tend not to downgrade based on packaging or seller communication, etc. I try to add packaging information when I feel necessary. For a printed book, I think others would like to know how it did from Point A to Point B. My copy arrived without problem, there were no dents, wrinkles or turns in the pages, no water damage, etc. I ordered both the first and second volumes with books 1-4 inside, so they came in a box as packaging, which doesn't always matter in how something will get to you, but I was happy to see it in that as opposed to the usual yellow, soft slip packaging with inside bubble wrap. My copy, as well as the second, was in good shape. All pages intact. Nothing torn or bent. Review: Pour les fans de Seraph of the End (OnS), go! - En tant que fan de l'anime Owari no Seraph (Seraph of the End), j'ai décidé de franchir le pas et de me lancer dans la lecture de mon premier Light Novel, c'est sans regret! Seraph of the End, Guren Ichinose: catasptrophe at sixteen, plonge le lecteur dans une ambiance conflictuel entre 3 ordres religieux et une association de vampire (encore discret dans cet opus), et qui, introduira parfaitement le nouveau lecteur (cf. celui qui n'a pas regardé l'anime notamment) aux personnages, à leurs affiliation et bien sûr à leurs objectif! Trahison, questionnement et suspens garanti, qui risque (en bien!) fortement de vous donner l'envie de passer aux seconds et troisièmes opus! Pour ceux ayant vu l'anime, ce Light Novel (jusqu'au 3ème opus) constitue un excellent support, et soulève beaucoup de questions/réponses qu'on pourrait se poser dans l'anime! Foncez sans hésitez! ## Features - TURNAROUND PUBLISHER SERVICES - Turnaround publisher services ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 196 Reviews | ## Images ![Seraph Of The End 1: Guren Ichinose: Catastrophe at Sixteen - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BoBAqLD5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely look into if you're a Seraph/Guren fan *by L***M on 29 August 2016* I've recently become a fan of Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End.
