Kamikaze mixes medieval action with modern-day Japan. At first the story appears unstable. Characters are thrown at you left and right with no explanation of who they are or where they came from. As the story proceeds and events unfold, the characters become more clear.

The beasts themselves are drawn incredibly. The power they are meant to portray is very well done. The characters at first look like they are drawn in a strange style, but over time they are more enjoyable.

The environments these people walk through are amazing. Such fine level of detail has been used to draw every scenes background.

From what ... I know, there aren't too many stories that use the Elements as a main focus point: Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. Kamikaze excels at this. All the time I read it I was captivated by it's greatness.

Portus was the first Horror manga I ever read. Maybe that is the reason why it was so impacting on me. It's a one volume book and the storyline is extremely unique. It is a story about revenge, friends, love, and despair.

A lot of the time I could feel the character's fear as I read it. The facial expressions were drawn with such fine detail.

The horrific images that the characters see can disturb you even though they are just simply drawings. I feel that the author did a great job in bringing this story to life. There is only so much you can show ... and describe on paper, the emotion's that the author were trying to make the reader feel are all too clear.

The character's proceed to the end as if they were meant to, as if it was their fate.

The story has a bizarre ending. One you would never expect. Two thumbs up!
