Well , the first thing I want to say is that this manga series is a masterpiece. My seven days of journey in this manga series ended today.
When you see the title of this manga series all you remember is about the pandora box from Greek mythology. And yes the story of this manga series, in all the ways, means to show what happens if you "open the pandora box" . Generally it means how calamitous and radical consequences occur by your small and innocent action.
This manga series follows the basic story of the popular novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"by Lewis Carroll and pulls
...
it off to a different level. Beware , its no fairy tale. It has the most cruellest story to begin with. The story has no bounds. It shows how cruel it can be to blame our selfishness on others. [ You think you are always right because what you see is your own world in which you can decide what you want to happen and what you do not want to happen. But you never put yourself in other's shoes and see the world in their view. Because you are afraid to accept the reality. ]. But it has its own humour too. Chillax!
Unlike the novel ,this story does not focus everything on Alice. Every character is given equal importance. Every character's life spins its own tale. And we will see how labyrinthine the intertwinement of their fates is. The story starts with no plot. I personally did not understand what was happening at the beginning. Chapter after chapter , my thirst for the truth of the story kept on raising. At starting ,after every chapter my thoughts were like these - "That's it!" , "That might be it!" , "He is the bad guy!" , " No , he might be a good guy" , " The story might end soon because the plot has been revealed" , "How come there are more than 75 chapters yet to read?!?" . But once I reached the midway of the series I dumbfounded myself. The story has been twisted in a very brilliant way and the plot I have build till that point have all gone haywire. But I was so happy how ridiculously awesome the story has turned into.
Story- 10/10
Its about a boy named Oz Vessalius , the heir to the one of The Four Great Dukedoms Vessalius. The other 3 dukedoms are Nightray , Rainsworth and Barma. The story starts with him being thrown into a different dimension which is known as Abyss by some Unknown people wearing blood red cloak who are later known to be The Baskervilles ,another dukedom which is known to exist before The Tragedy of Sabrie along with The Four Great Dukedoms. But, what is this abyss ? Why only 4 dukedoms and why The Baskervilles are not recognized into these dukedoms? What is The Tragedy of Sabrie? So many mysteries are present in this series which tangles around you and never let you stop reading this series. You got to compete the series to find out what is there at the end of the story. Think like you just entered a rabbit hole at the starting of this story and at the end of the rabbit hole you will see a whole new beautiful world. And so never try to find your way back. Keep going till the end.
Art- 10/10
Well, I personally never care much about the art as long as the story is good and intelligible. But Jun Mochijuki-san , the manga artist of pandora hearts, has presented it in a very majestic way that I imagined the whole story myself with background music too. I enjoyed the full manga to my heart's content. Not even a single chapter displeased me. It is a wonderful piece of work by him.
Character- 10/10
As I said before , all the characters are special. You can never judge a character without knowing his/her past , what he/she went through to reach that level. All the characters are based on the novel "Alice's Adventure in Wonderland" but their personalities pretty different from what you are expecting. Their powers come from chains which are actually the personalities you would expect from the novel. To understand this, reading the manga is the only way.
Enjoyment -10/10
No need to describe how much I enjoyed it. You should remember that " All the best people are crazy" and just enjoy the madness this story is going to present to you.
Overall- 10/10
Because , it is outstanding. Trust me , you will never regret reading this manga series. But you will regret for not reading this manga series till now.
That's it folks.
PS: This is my first review ever. So please feel free to point out any mistakes I have done. (^_^)
