5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing,
By tami "pinkboxcutter" (chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Suikoden III: The Successor of Fate, Vol. 6 (Suikoden III) (Paperback)
I don't like the suikoden III game very much because it's slow to get through, with general dialogue, and I got stuck in a pointless chapter. It's also rather low-impact. I wanted very much to find out the story, though, because the game enjoys a very good reputation for its plot. Thankfully, it's been converted to comic book form.
There is a plethora of reasons why the manga suceeds- for one thing,the script is either causal or emotional, leagues away from the informative tone of the game. The character interaction really shines through for dutiful Chris, fiery Hugo, and enigmatic Geddoe; what's more, they're all drawn beautifully and resemble their original design. The look of suikoden III is very distinctive, yet the artist managed to make even background characters unique, but true to the fashion of thier respective cultures. The color pages are an added bonus. Being a story of war there is the occasional battle, of course- and that is where you can see the mangaka's skills at capturing both the human mind and human figure. Not only are the clashes visually dynamic, the politics, inner-conflict, and self-discoveries of war have a big role, and are presented in a way that is both intricate and entertaining. What really helps is that the manga has a great origin-the game-but evolves into it's own medium. It doesn't feel like a retelling, but a story in its own right, especially since the author makes alterations (which don't impose upon the game's concepts) The comic is good for fans- but it's excellent for everyone.

Great game...,

Great manga. Eleven volumes in all but tells a grand tale. I just want to know what happens to the characters afterward, but sadly like all stories. You just have to go to fan fiction for it.
I've read a few... and to this day the memories still haunt me like walking nightmares. Buy it and you'll not regret it.

Well at this stage you're either commited to buying the manga or not. I've been getting it myself more for the curiousity of seeing how well the game translates into a manga. I would say this is one for the fans only. The manga is of an adequate standard but its nothing groundbreaking.
