This review is from: Lunar Legend Tsukihime Volume 1-4 Set (v. 1-4) (Paperback)

I loved the anime and the manga doesn't disappoint.

This is a great series about a young man who can see lines of death and cut through anything using those lines. however there is a side effect. constantly seeing death will eventually make a person go mad as such shiki has developed a secondary personality, that of a very effiecient killer.
He decides to help a vampire named Arcuied to hunt down another named Roa after 'killing' her. She appears in front of him the next day and forces him to help.

There are minor differences between the 2 over all the manga gives more insight into Shiki's growth with the mystic eyes of death perception, as well as more intense fights that truly show Shiki's change from typical high schooler to efficient killer.
