ill skip the summery since we can all read the above. Anyways 10 out of 10 best manga series ive read. The story has many connections to real life it talked about the christian bible and jesus. It talked about the story of god and his archangels in one part. It made connections with world war 2 in another part. It even has the witch hunt and many others. The art work is very unique its not like a beautiful painting like in series such as ai yori aoshi but are very detailed sketches. Many of the setting are in slums and allyways that is

I cam to Getbackers from the anime. A shoujo girl at heart I couldn't believe that my anime club was showing me this series about battling. And yes, it is a series about battling, and retrieving, and all that jazz. But at its very heart it is about relationships, and friendships, and honour.
The story follows the Getbackers, Ban and Ginji. There is an underlying sense of the story moving towards and end, with some completion in mind. Whilst there are a few episodic adventures, the stories are primarily multi-volume, intense and detailed. You learn a lot about the people, their histories, and their friendships. ... Jun 21, 2015
Get Backers it's a great manga, the anime adaptation fell short to caught up the spirit of the manga, the final arc is one of the best arcs i've seen, there are wonderfull new characters, back story for the known characters, epic fights, and a great ending explaining the world they live in and what the characters seek and enjoy. Overall a enjoyable manga, that shows the bonds of friendship and thrusting one another, give it a shot!
Jun 20, 2012 so this manga at first was like blaa with the weird looking ginji during the first few chapters but the story gets better and better as it goes on that I believe it's better than the anime (but then again, most mangas are better than the animes). anyways, the Eternal Bond arc wasn't so interesting to me at first cause I really wasn't interested in Shido's story and I thought it wasn't so important so why that big arc just for Shido's story but later I was proven wrong because of the details and the new characters that turned out to be important to the ...

I remember they used to sell like a thousand volumes of this in Borders. If I wanted a reference point to finding new things, the safest way I could put it is "find me the OPPOSITE of Getbackers." It's pretty much as much of a mindlessly pumped out cynical product as a series can get; very slick, professional art, but mostly used to emphasize full page "fanservice" (that's what kids today call tits and lady underwear, right?). Plot's neither here nor there for the most part, things are obviously made up as the story goes along, but without the grace of even the most generic

Ok everyone: take a sit and listen up. This be one of my all time fav mangas (and animes) right here-- has been since I was in middle school. But I don't rec it to everyone because of a couple reasons, so here we go:
Story: 10 I love the story, what can I say? There's action, there's comedy, there's plot twists, and some serious stuff going down. I love the supernatural powers, the inclusion of historical aspects (like WWII and witch hunting), I loved the inclusion of tarot cards (in a later arc)-- it's fantastic. A main reason I don't rec it to some of my ... Jan 23, 2016
I could talk about the story, the characters, even the art, but I guess my colleagues here could sum up pretty well everything I could say. One thing that I'd like to point out - and it is what really draw me to the manga - is the amount of subjects that they bring (I, myself, am re-reading the manga and I am writing down all those mentions). Do you wanna know about art? There's an arc about Van Gogh and Venus de Milo (and if you are willing to search everything they say you will have to search about Cezanne, Gaguin...). You want to
