4.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty Good. Vol 3 and 5 are better though.,
By
This review is from: Dragon Head, Vol. 4 (Paperback)
Dragon Head is a great survival/horror/post-apocalyptic manga. If you liked the previous volumes you'll like this one too. You'll probably enjoy the one after this one more, but this one is essential for understanding that one.
Volume 3 and 5 (5 is especially great btw) are better, but Volume 4 is still pretty good and still deals with encounters with darkness within. This is a survival horror manga. Occassionally, they have to introduce plot devices for transport and change up the scenery a little bit. The other poster seems to lament the fact that they are no longer in the same location they started. 10 volumes in a tunnel would've been kind of boring. I don't expect Aristotelian unity (nor would I want it) in a manga. It kind of seems like an odd expectation that the manga doesn't change the scenery every now and again. Granted the way it does in this volume is a tad contrived, but from a plot perspective, it works pretty well. It complicates the plot and introduces a major plot device.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Narrative hits a lull,
By Sibelius (Palo Alto, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragon Head, Vol. 4 (Paperback)
Dragon Head volume 4 hits a sort of narrative lull as the story gets bogged down with the protagonists stuck in a city burning away in the midst of a raging fire. While attempting to keep themselves alive in the midst of fire tornadoes and debris falling everywhere they need to dodge a small group of Army survivors intent on capturing Ako (female) for ungentlemanly purposes. Even though Vol. 4 falters compared to the first 3 books I still look forward to the remaining books in the series.
4.0 out of 5 stars

Minetaro Mochizuki, Dragon Head vol. 4 (Tokyopop, 1996)
Teru and Sato find out they're not the only ones left on the planet, but that may not necessarily be a good thing. A group of young Defense Force recruits have split their helicopter off from the rest of the pack and decided to go scouting for contraband and women. Needless to say, Sato looks a lot like both to them. Not sure the series is going to stay at the quality level it was for the first three volumes now that Mochizuki is bringing in the wider world (and more characters), but it's still good stuff. *** 1/2
