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
...
beggining, characters looked ugly in the beggining, maybe even simple, but the fights never failed to make you feel the weight behind each punch, motion is expressed greatly in this manga, and as the story advances, you get to see more detailed/appealing drawings.
the characters are one of the strongest point of crows, all characters are different one from each other, each character is appealing and likeable (at least for me, there is certainly a case to be made against some characters but most of them have redeeming qualities or have moments in which they reflect and become better characters). characters also evolve and develop as the story advances, by the end you feel as if most of the characters had their fitting end to their story, and some of these ends really make you think and reflect.
crows has become one of my favorite series, it has once again taught me things i had forgotten, simple stories aren't bad stories, people don't need complicated/deep reasons to change, life isn't a straightfoward path, and that it can take a mere second or just a little hunch to decide what you will do with your life. I totally plan on reading it's sequels and spin-offs and i can't wait to introduce my friends to this manga
