Kagurabachi is the greatest piece of fiction to ever come into existence in the history of reality itself. Kagurabachi has transcended the concept of being peak and is above all subjective and objective ratings, it is not possible to accurately describe kagurabachi using human words or emotions.

But in all seriousness Kagurabachi is the newest shounen jump series that has received unbelievable hype among english speaking fans. The hype isn't necessarily because it's that good or anything, it's just a funny joke. The actuality of Kagurabachi is that its a pretty generic shounen with an edgy protagonist and good art. At the time of writing this ...

Here's a harsh truth: you can't tell whether Shounen Jump manga will be good until at least 20-40 chapters are out. To get even get greenlit for publication the first few chapters are practically done already, and the strong premise that will carry the first arc or two is necessary for the editors to even consider accepting the new series. A good beginning is only worth so much.
This doesn't mean all first chapters are equal - as far as this one goes, I'd say it was decent.

But instead of acting like I can judge the series off of the two chapters currently out, I'll simply ...

Kagura Bachi, the captivating manga masterpiece, is an artistic journey that transcends the boundaries of storytelling and transports readers to an unparalleled realm of narrative excellence. With every page turn, this manga weaves a tapestry of emotions, character depth, and plot intricacies that leave an indelible mark on the reader's imagination.

Let's begin with the artwork, for it is nothing short of a visual marvel. The meticulous attention to detail, the expressive character designs, and the dynamic panel layouts create a visual experience that is nothing short of breathtaking. Each page is a work of art, and every frame is a testament to the illustrator's mastery ...

Given the end of the first arc and the innumerable reviews of unjustifiable slander, I feel it appropriate to provide a bit of perspective.
This is one of the strongest starts to a series we’ve seen in a while. It manages to balance action and exposition, character and plot very well, never feeling rushed or lagging. So far we have a good sense of the stakes and the consequences. Even though the world building is still somewhat undeveloped, the scope is present and the potential is there to be explored in time. The power system has enough complexity to make it intriguing without feeling unnecessarily ...

One of the best mangas I have ever read.

Plot:
It not only has a plot and a some main characters, but also a group of antagonists and a storyline. Its use of heavily reused plots by many of its predecessors make it very easy to read, very intuitive and digestible for those who are just getting into shōnen.

Characters:
The protagonist, for his part, is cold as ice and unflappable, just like me. He has a strong motivation that will carry him on a long journey. Waking up every morning with fresh hatred, he uses his demonic sword and his heavily trained abilities to sweep the floor ...

Let's put memes aside, Kagurabachi is just ok, but it has potential.

Kagurabachi is, for now, solid manga. We got bit of world building, bit of power system and important characters for the story and main goal for MC. But it didn't do anything groundbreaking.

Art isn't really detailed and some faces look bit bland, but few action panels look good. Characters are ok, bit plain but manga is still new so it's excusable. Power system is combination of jujutsu kaisen and demon slayer. But I have a felling that it brings nothing new to the table. If it doesn't make itself stand out it might ...

Look, we've all seen the memes, we were all there for it. People joked about it left and right, Aleks Le voiced an edit, so on and so forth. I'm here to set things straight, as people are still primarily joking about the manga, and I wanna shed some real light on it. This manga is fun, really fun. It's still very early, as chapter 29 came out the day I'm writing this, but so far the story has been really enjoyable.

The action is incredibly on point, and the paneling helps to elevate it though how snappy and creative it is in the ways it ...

I recommend Kagura Bachi, but if you're still enamored with the likes of "One Piece" or "Bleach," then you're clearly not ready for the transcendent experience that is "Kagura Bachi." Created by the prodigious Takeru Hokazono, this series is nothing short of a magnum opus, a tour de force in the realm of manga that makes other series look like mere doodles.

Now, let's talk about the protagonist, shall we? Unlike the overused archetypes of "Bleach's" Ichigo or "One Piece's" Luffy, our main character is a complex, dark, and multi-layered individual. He's not some run-of-the-mill shonen hero; he's a swordsman seeking revenge against evil, a character ...

Seeing as there aren't any reviews on MAL that go past Chapter 8, I'm taking it upon myself to write it.

Kagurabachi's time as a meme has largely run its course. As most MAL reviews will tell you, for its first 7 or 8 chapters, Kagurabachi is a series with good art, an ok cast, and a story that's generic but is still decent and shows potential with its worldbuilding and cold tone.

And then Sojo arrives in Chapter 8. And then there's Chapters 9 and 10.

By the end of Chapter 10, Kagurabachi becomes a legitimately good shonen.

Sojo, a character mentioned early on, is properly ...

"I want to be a better manga"

"I want to be.... Kagurabachi"

1.0 Executive Summary
At the time of writing this, Kagurabachi has been praised (mostly jokingly) as the greatest piece of manga to ever grace planet Earth, a piece of fiction that has has influenced the childhood of billions and the author was even sent letters about how it changed the lives of fans overseas before chapter 1 even dropped. So this begs the question, "Is the manga actually good?", is the art, story and character writing really up to the standard of the hype? The art is effective at entertaining the reader. However, the story, writing ...

Kagurabachi, despite all the memes, in its own shell-- its own universe, serves as a good (although basic) story concept, with fun characters, interesting and pulling antagonists, and a nice set of funny and heartwarming side characters, and it's final ingredient- a nice good drop of yaoi. Great manga so far, I hope Hokazono gets even better at his craft, and puts more gay boys in his manga. I believe that Hokazono, with being the fact that he's only 23 is doing something unprecedented in the creation of this manga, without even taking part in it. Glory to the Kagurabachi nation, Glory to Chihiro, Glory ...

What I initially viewed as an average revenge story with an edgelord as a protagonist has evolved long ago into what I think is one of the best new-gen manga series. The story may appear simple at first glance but my personal low expectations drove me to be utterly amazed by its quality. I have yet to read a jarring chapter, almost all of them are action-packed with a fight choreography extremely satisfying to follow. Even though it brings a lot of charm to the more fun and light-hearted scenes, the low-detailed faces may turn off certain readers, but the composition and panelling are so ...

The anti Morbius. Let me explain ok just hear me out. Morbius when it was revealed was advertised a lot, was being produced by a massive studio, featured an edgy protagonist, and looked like it was gonna be just another unremarkable movie. Because of this everyone online made fun of it by pretending it was the most amazing thing ever sarcastically. Then it releases and is bad and quickly forgotten.

It started off relatively mid, but has improved and evolved greatly since then. what I will admire is it's not just a dumb mindless battle shonen manga as it may seem, but the writing and character portrayals are really good, the art is good, and the world building is good.

Characters
Most of the characters are interesting and charming. I like the protagonist, who is strong, gentle and reliable. which is a desirable quality of a shonen protagonist.

Art
There has been a huge improvement in the early chapters. It's not a style I really like, but it fits the theme of the story nicely.

It's literally every new-gen shonen mixed together (chainsaw man - jujutsu kaisen - hell's paradise - spy x family - demon slayer) , the author is a fan of shonen so he decided to do alot of fights in a plot that isn't clear till now , but that made every chapter worth it and fun to read.

I've been a shounen jump reader for awhile now so I kinda understand the type of volumes they release. Most of them would be action manga just like your typical shounen anime. I stumbled across Kagura bachi a week before it released wondering where is all the hype coming from so I read it. What do i think of it? I think it's the best shounen jump manga i have read. My favorite shounen jump manga is kaguya sama love is war. Well, not anymore. Kaguya doesn't even compare to this manga. Kagura bachi is a masterpiece nobody expected. Have you heard of idk the ...

Memes aside its not a bad manga

Plot: (6/10)
Our 2 main characters are Chihiro and Shiba, Shiba is a friend of Chihiro's dad Kunihira a famous blacksmith who gets killed in an attack by some evil sorcerers who wanted to steal the blades Chihiro's dad made so they head out to get revenge and retrieve the blades. Its a very generic plot but the execution until now is decent.

After 6 chapters, I could smell a potential of a good drama and character writing. But so far it's only focusing on action.

My guess is that Chihiro will get closer to Char and they will get to change each others.

I love reading stuff like this, when there are 2 opposite characters that are influencing each others.
So I will follow this serie and see what it will give us.
I hope it focuses on good character writing instead of just action and fights like JJK and Demon Slayer, I got sick of mangas like this, I need more dramatic characters that gets to improve their ...

Title: Kagurabachi - A Searing Tale of Revenge and Redemption

Score: 8/10

Review:

Takeru Hokazono's Kagurabachi storms onto the manga scene with a fiery blend of action, fantasy, and a tale of vengeance that grips you from the first chapter. This series, though still in its early stages, has already shown immense promise, and it's easy to see why it's gaining popularity at such a rapid pace.

Story - 7/10:

The story follows Chihiro Rokuhira, a young swordsman on a relentless quest to avenge his father's death. His father, a master swordsmith, was brutally murdered, leaving Chihiro with not only a thirst for revenge but also the responsibility of wielding ...
