Wending his way home after a bender one evening, master moocher and game programmer Keita Ibuki decides to satisfy a craving for ramen at a noodle stand. Instead of slurping soup, though, he surrenders his meal to a manic girl who, unbeknownst to Keita, is a Mototsumitama, a guardian of the coexistence equilibrium. When his new acquaintance is attacked, Keita gets caught in the crossfire and loses an arm. Awakening from the shock, Keita finds himself back in his apartment, arm intact! But just whose arm is it?!

5.0 out of 5 stars
I really enjoyed it!,
By Hen (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black God, Vol. 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
When a friend of mine first told me I should pick this up, I had my doubts. I'm not really much of a shonen person, you see. But I was very surprised! IT was actually more like seinen, and reminded me a lot of Chobits.
There are three main characters: Kuro, Keita, and Akane. Kuro is a sweet, 14 or so year old mototsumitama, who is very naive and likable. Keita on the other hand is kind of a jerk all the time, but does nice things when it really counts. I kind of hate him, but it's kind of a 'love to hate' situation. And Akane is Keita's childhood friend, who is really nice and pretty. She's likable as well. The whole story is about how there are three people in the world that look the same, and if two of them make eye contact, they die. Then their energy/power is transfered to the remaining doppeliner, as they are called. It really is an intriguing premise. Also, as somebody already said, the artwork is pretty dang awesome. It isn't scratchy at all, and has plenty of detail. It's the kind of manga that totally sucks you in with it's settings and character designs. Overall, I loved it and can't wait to read the rest of the series! :)

I liked this book and story. There is a little bit of everything for just about everyone. You have a light story working with a story with depth (more to it). The art is very good and I ordered the other books in the series.
