I discovered in Ragna Crimson a fantasy story with dark overtones, full of brutal combat in an unforgiving post-apocalyptic world.
An exciting and entertaining read that knows how to engage the watcher and give him or her moments of pure entertainment, without ever boring. The plot gradually becomes more and more interesting, presenting entertaining, well-structured and diverse characters.
Ragna and Crimson are each other's opposites, with the former coming across as an almost anti-hero vigilante, focused on revenge, but never falling into the "seen it all before" or banality. This is because of his feelings and his desire to protect and return to a smile with those ... he loves. Crimson, on the other hand, particularly surprised me, evil and manipulative,but not overly wicked.

Crimson, on the other hand, particularly surprised me because of how ... the mangaka, Kobayashi Daiki, was able to make him a kind of antagonist-hero, evil and manipulative,but not overly wicked.
Ragna Crimson evolves, chapter after chapter, into a dark, violent, vengeful and original story. Lovers of the genre will find in this manga a rare gem not to be missed.
