Crows is about Bouya Harumichi, a second-year transfered to Suzuran, a highschool full of delinquants. By becoming the number one of the school, he meet others gangs from other highschools.
It is a very fresh story, and even if its clasified as a shounen, it is more a seinen, as you can see blodd, and thematics like death are seen. It has the same style as GTO ( and if you haven't read GTO, do it !), with epic fights, friendship and lot, lot of stupid gags.
Story: 8/10 It is mostly cut in little parts, but every one of those is linked with the next

it's amazing how 'Crows' doesn't try to be complex but ends up having its moments like that. The story may seem silly, but within the general context it is quite good, the author fulfills what he promises to do, he promises to make a good manga for criminals and he delivers it. Not much to say about this work, it is consistent, all arcs are well structured, the fights are well done and fair, the protagonist has his motivations and is very charismatic, drama is not difficult to understand and how I said before it works and delivers what it promises. It's definitely my favorite

crows is an exceptional manga, my first time reading it, it was just about highschool delinquents fighting, after reading it i felt empty, surprisingly though, it's still just a highschool deliquent fighting manga. why is it exceptional then?
the story is pretty simple throughout the whole story, but it manages to keep you hooked, crows is the type of manga that isn't about the story as much as it is about fights, characters and surprising moments that are able to make you reflect about pretty much anything. about the art, while i do feel that the art improves as the manga advances, it's great since the ...

I saw the reviews giving this manga a score of 7-8 and thought that it might turn people away, so i will try to review this manga. This is my second review so if i make any mistakes dont be hard and feel free to point them to me. Now lets get on with the review:
Story 8/10: The story focus on the adventures of Bouya Harumichi a second year transfer student at the school of Suzuran, some might say the worst school to be in. It follows Bouya and all his friends/foes on their 2 year journey to end the school. Those 2 years consist ...

Crows is excellent, perhaps the ultimate delinquent manga. But let's go by parts.
The characters are exceptional, being very charismatic and surprisingly deep. It is even curious that Crows never tries to be a complex work in text, but gives density to them when reflecting on their philosophies or attitudes. By the way, the work pays great attention to them, being the protagonist of their own arcs, which is great due to highlighting the cast making them remarkable. The protagonist, Harumichi, is quite charismatic but ironically less profound than the other characters. Don't get me wrong, he is by far one of the best characters in the ...

This manga took a long time to grow on me. I would occasionally try to read it, since I love delinquent manga, and give up after three or five chapters. Once I got past that, though, I realized what I was missing. This is considered a classic of delinquent manga for a reason, after all.
The story that exists is mostly a shonen-style parade of fights. Literally, one fight after another, with glimpses of character development in between. The fights themselves are pretty damn awesome, covering everything from full out gang rumbles to one on ones. However, unlike most shonen, the parade of fights makes sense, ...

Most of my friends were into the Crows:Zero movie and i honestly didnt think too much of it. later i found that it was based on a manga, then i thought"hmmmm...manga, lets check it out"
Then bam! the series totally captivated me. the story is good and the characters although a lot all have impacts. the best part of the manga is that when it ends it kind of brings this feeling that nothing lasts for ever. Although the characters had lots of adventures they kind of move towards their future goal like in real life. the fights are wonderful and they totally make ur blood ...

TL;DR: It's a simple story with simple characters, nice art style, setting , comedy, it knows what it wants to be and the author put a lot of soul into it, as it can be seen from his notes at the end of the early chapters. For some, the fact that the story isn't too deep and doesn't seriously tackle the themes relating to what it means to be a man/delinquent can affect his enjoyment, but I would still recommend it for the humane and down to earth characters and world that builds around them.
In a world where quite a few of the most developed ... |
