Minor spoilers ahead. Just skip to enjoyment if you want it completely spoiler free, although the amount isn't really that much to begin with.
Ecchi and action: a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, that's only the case if the proper set up and balance are created, which Taboo Tattoo does not accomplish. What it does do is it creates a visually sound action adventure of pervs, sadists, heroes and homosexuals.
Story: Right off the bat, the classic set up of "boy gets dragged into secret war between two sides" comes into play. Battles are not in short supply but are instead brief albeit brutal affairs with lots

Your Feelings Categories Jan 11, 2011
Im re-doing this review because of how much i regret what i said the last time and im going to make this short and as least painful as possible.
The plot is about your average high school kid in japan (not very popular in school, female childhood friend, you know the type) named seigi, who saves an old man from some thugs. After saving him, this mysterious old man then gives seigi a crest, which burns a tattoo onto his hand, giving him special powers. After this happens, the government gets involved. Seigi begins to learn to control his powers, fights random thugs/villains (there are ... Jul 20, 2016
Taboo Tattoois a manga that basically built itself by recycling elements from previous similar adaptations plus the extra fan-service to appease the thirsty readers.
Story: Akatsuka Seigi is your average Japanese High School boy who got a tattoo from a mysterious guy which resulted him being dragged in a secret warfor those tattoos. If i had a shot of whisky each time i saw this kind of plot, i would die from alcohol poisoning. Art: The only good thing in this manga. The characters are well drawn, the character design is nice, the details, emotions, etc...The artist did a good job in that. ... Mar 23, 2021
tl;dr: A manga with some potential to the action and some good comedy but that fails at everything surrounding that.
This manga gets better as it goes on, but it’s still kind of a mess. The first third or so of the manga is simply complete nonsense where it feels like it has no clue what it wants to be or what it wants to do with characters being incredibly inconsistent, the tone shifting randomly in very jarring ways, and the pacing being awful. After that it seems to settle into what it wants to be, which is a fairly standard battle series with characters with ... Oct 21, 2019
In the beginning, the story seems pretty cool. Essentially a kid get mysterious powers from a stranger as a thank you. A pretty cool hero origin. But once the story picks up, and you meet more characters, the story begins to get muddied by an over-the top amount of characters you have to remember, which gets difficult when characters change their appearance or "side" or reveal themselves as a double agent.... But the "powers" are cool none the less. The idea was cool, but it just got too confusing and complicated in terms of the story, so I dropped it. But if you can keep

This manga is ok, but nothing special. I don't regret buying it, but I will be selling it now, as don't feel I need to hold on to it, I won't be re-reading it.
I would tag this with: - Action - Dark - Super Powers Story: 6/10 To be honest, I liked the story up the point where the anime ended (same story as in the anime, the anime covered about half the manga), and slightly afterwards too. It was interesting, there are some real setbacks, and I like when some of the main characters don't have plot armor. The ending however, was just so bad in my opinion... ... |
