I really wanted to enjoy this manga, I really did. I love the anime and it's honestly one of my favorites out there. Reading pieces of information from the Wiki made me eager to read the manga as well...

But there is one major issue: it's borderline unreadable.

Yasuhiro Nightow can draw, sure, but he seems to struggle when it comes to making a readable drawing, particularly in action sequences. There is no flow between panels and so many of the panels I honestly cannot figure out what they're supposed to be. Sometimes I can make up a mangled figure. Sometimes I can find a gun. ...

60,000,000,000$$ man who is a pacifist. Even that short sentence gives it all. But why would a guy like him be worth so much? Well it's for you, reader, to uncover.
Manga Trigun is a mix-up of future and western.
The story behind it is quite good, although it can be a bit confusing. When you finally add everything, it's not as good as it could be, but nonetheless it's worth reading.
Art is slightly worse, just because sometimes, while Vash is struggling against others, you don't really know what happened. Also the art itself is not incredible, but it's not that important.
Now we enter the pride of ...

Rating 4/10

For BOTH Trigun and Maximum.
Trigun is a disappointment. The manga keeps letting itself down at every turn. Here's why:

Setting:

Trigun's setting is similar to Cowboy Bebop, with mankind having populated another planet far away from the ruined earth. However, Trigun does absolutely *nothing* with this environment. The planet is a sand ridden landscape and gives off a wild west feeling, and is intentionally designed to look uninhabitable for story reasons, but it makes everything look the same, bland and boring. Not only that, but Trigun never stops to explain locations or simply walk around and take in the sights. Every single location has only one ...

I never watched much of the anime series. But I can tell it's a good one by reading the manga. The original Trigun manga has only two volumes which is a bummer, but it continues in a series called Trigun Maximum. This manga series tells some of the journeys Vash has had in the anime.
The stories in volume one have some great moments most of which are humorous. However in the volume two, Vash is more seroius and there aren't many funny moments in it. So that basically takes away some points. But the characters are still great at least.
If you like the ...

Ten years after reading it and love it for the first time, I'm here completely disappointed in these volumes after a second re-read. Why? because this reads like Nightow had an idea he couldn't well grasp and he just went along trying something in preparation of something else...which, considering these two volumes clock around 400 pages, is just utter BS. And it's not just the action being messy, it's everything (the characters, the plot points, etc.) feel like they were made up with no idea how to develop them coherently, just on the get go. With the lone exception of the main protagonist being a ...

I've heard only great things about the anime, so I was really looking forward to the manga. Unfortunately I was only disappointed.

Before I get into the spoiler-heavy critique of the plot, I'll start with an overview of the other aspects.

The art:
The art style is a bit of a hit or miss. There are some panels that are truly gorgeous. But most of the action sequences, and even some non-action, fall under the somewhat common 90's manga trope of messy to the point of being hard to follow.

The characters:
Vash is interesting, or at least has the potential to be. He's a seemingly easy going character, ...

Trigun – Spoiler Free – Not Recommended

TLDR
Story – 3/10 – 3 x 0.275 = 0,825
Art – 1/10 – 1 x 0.2 = 0,2
Characters – 2/10 – 2 x 0.225 = 0,45
Enjoyment – 2/10 – 2 x 0.3 = 0,6
Total: 2,075 -> 2

The story follows the protagonist Vash, a.k.a the 'Humanoid Typhoon' who has a bounty on his head and is being chased down almost everywhere he steps his foot in. Despite being a pacifist, he somehow manages to wreak havoc wherever he goes. Within the span of 22 chapters you'll get to know about him and his past and what drives him to do what he does!
The protagonist is cool and the side characters are also pretty decent but they don't have a story to back them up, well at least in this manga they don't.

Considering that this manga was published in 1995, the art ...

How does this not have a review like Baki and Mob didn't either, well whatever. The scores are a baseline high, maybe nostalgia played a role but I did try to review unbiased, tried, but I might have failed. Very funny faces which I love World Trigger does this very well. I just got done the original Trigun(the first time I've read it, watched it twice) and it was very good, and it held my interest, engrossing is the word I love to use on very good stories, just like all Baki's I want to read the next chapter and not sleep.

Trigun is a very good story, a unique one that isn't normally found anywhere else, but I can't say it doesn't have an extremely rough start. (light spoilers)

This spans around 1-3 volumes of early content, and the anime stops following accurately at around chpt 7 of vol 3. As a general warning, the mangaka is not a very lore orientated writer. Some things will be left unsaid, especially in these beginning sections.

Trigun Maximum refines the earlier elements that this manga had, and ultimately, the last volume ends in a big bang.
If you came from the anime, and you'd like to see more, I deeply recommend ...
