Well a few years back, I watched the anime version of "Darkside Blues" and I was quite enthralled by the mysterious character Darkside. The anime confused me at points. But after reading the manga all the pieces fell together. The plot makes so much more sense now. The plot was a lot less subtle and the anime dropped and changed many things. I loved the art in this manga. Yuho did a superior job with the frames and the characters. And I loved use of the theme of dark and light. I am really glad I bought this book. The movie is worth buying but if you really truly want to understand the story that is "Darkside Blues" buy the manga first. And its cheaper and when you hear someone talking about the movie you can tell them that the book was better like all those other snobby book readers out there. Heh. Just kidding.

Despite the majority of people who bash the anime version of "Darkside Blues", I found I enjoyed it immensely. The main character is most intriguing, and the drawings make him more beautiful than his anime counterpart. I'd recommend this manga to people who say they don't understand the anime; and for those who do enjoy the anime, it will deepen your appreciation.
