Great art work,
This review is from: Evil's Return, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
When I finished reading this book, I had to stop and think about what I just read. Not because the book was confusing, but because there was hardly any talking. From the dialoge that was said you or at least I got that feeling that something important is about to happen. The book just cuts off in the end with out explaining what just took place the precending pages. If you want to find out what happen I would suggest you pick up volumes 1 and 2 at the same time, but since 2 has not come out as of today 8-2-04) you might have to wait awhile. The art work is great. And yes you well be looking a a half naked female most the time.

Oh, it's not that bad just different,
By Lauren Edwards (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Evil's Return, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
I'm surprised at the negative comments on this manga. It's not that bad, just different. I have been reading manga for a while now and I think that if you are new to reading manga, "Evil's Return" shouldn't be one of your firsts.
Here's why: There isn't much dialogue compared to others and that because the manga relies on the beautiful art and your imagination. The art is really good and has a lot of feeling and the feeling of the art explains more than words. Secondly, this is a rather mature book.... the storyline is anyway. There isn't any pure nudity, just scantily clad girls (and rather busty for their age) and one too many panty shots. But this is nothing new, you get the same thing in any shojou/magical girl manga. The manga also revolves around the concept of "good vs. evil" or heaven and hell and this may upset someone who are very religious. You find the same thing in other anime/manga: the author/artist isn't exactly a Christian but their story is based on Christian themes.... there is bound to be some misunderstandings. To sum things up in a nutshell, the art is excellent and so good that dialogue is not need to explain a certain scene because the art does so. And finally this is a mature manga with mature scenes and characters (16 and up). I recommend this manga to anyone who is open-minded and is possibly an anime/manga fan. Any anime fan knows that there is more to just "Reading" manga and I feel that some titles are for the veterans. "Evil's Return" is one of them. So far there are only 3 volumes and I've enjoyed the first one enough to buy the others.

Second try posting this review...,

Jong-Kyu Lee, Evil's Return, vol. 1 (Tokyopop, 2001)
This one turned out to be quite a ride; a great deal more than I expected. Probably the goriest manga I've run across since Reiko the Zombie Shop, but it looks like there's going to be deeper characters and a stronger storyline here than we got there. What we know so far: a high school girl has been chosen to be the vessel for the coming of some sort of evil being into our world (no idea what yet), and that the choosing disturbed the forces so much that a lot of major world religions noticed. A monk has been dispatched to keep her safe, while the school bad boy's fallen for her. So, yeah, mostly setup, but it's certainly likable setup, and you can't go wrong with too much mayhem. Looking forward to the next few books in the series. *** ½
