Bastard (Manga)
The manga is full of twists...and complete psychotic meltdowns.
Caution, Mature Content
First of all, for those of you who watch anime, this manga is basically Light Yagami if he never found the Death Note
. The manga follows the hostile yet naive Jin Seon as the main protagonist who is the son of the main antagonist Dongsoo Seon. Being forced at a young age, by his father, to assist in the murder of specifically young, black haired, naive women by luring them into their top floor penthouse and knocking them out with a bandage-covered sledgehammer. After having dreams about being dropped off the top of a building by his father when he was younger he starts to have ill-feelings about his father and what he does in his ¨secret room.¨
He starts to rebel against his father after meeting a young woman named Kyun. Then the downhill spiral begins as another murderer decided to kill Kyun. This introduces what it looks like when a monster tries to play with a demon. Deciding to get stronger, Jin goes to the freshman bully, Manny Kim, to gain enough confidence to fight against his father. The complicated relationship between Manny and Jin is a roller coaster all in itself, as Manny is constantly reminded of his place at the school they attend by his friends. The friends believe that Manny needs to keep his top dog mentality and stay away from Jin, but soon they grow to have a brotherly bond.
The manga is full of twists, loving moments, and complete psychotic meltdowns. It is done beautifully, and personally, is the best manga I have ever read! 10/10--would read again! Here´s to hoping it becomes an anime one day!!
