I'm a recent convert to the manga genre so I have been a litle picky about what I buy but I couldn't resist Bastard! I have the amime and really enjoyed it.That being said I was glad to see that the anime had not strayed to far from the manga, and I was able to enjoy Dark Schneider again this time in print.
If you know nothing about Bastard then let me introduce you to the rock and roll post apocaylpse world where the only thing standing between the forces of evil and the good people of Metallicana is the former leader of the evil forces? Enter Dark Schneider a wizard of enormous power and only one control switch a young girl named Yoko. So let the fun begin as we watch Dark Schneider defeat wizards, save the girl and stay true to himself.
Of note however, is that this is a fun and action packed shonen manga that does show women as " sex objects". So if you have a hang up about that this is not the manga for you.On the opposite side of the coin if you are open to the possibilities and think that Dark Schneider is a "cutie" then this is a good read. There is only one other detractor from this manga by Kazushi Hagiwara for me and that is there is a litle too much background filler in the scenes that tends to make it a little dificult to read at first but still an over all excelent manga for your collection.

Good stuff, now if only they'd translate the rest of this series.
