Holy Knight is not a Hentai but gets fairly close to being one. With the mature tag attached to this story we find our male protagonist being the descendant of someone who was awesome while he is an average looking guy with no remarkable features, basically our every fantasy story protagonist.
Story : 8/10 - The story has a late inside plot behind it that slowly unrolls, while that happens we find sex scenes and the relations between everyone in the story. We find vampires and the Church having their usual troubles and it all comes down to our protagonist who is the descendant of some
...
big shot.
Art : 10/10 - As usual Miyazaki Maya has her series with amazing artwork, from scenery, character looks, to fight and sex scenes they are next to none. When you read someone crying and desperate you feel the characters desperation from the artwork, brilliant is far from enough to compliment it.
Character : 8/10 - The characters aren't really complicated, bordering on predictable, you can really tell what someone will do in decision time. But they are far from disappointing, from the main characters to supporting characters they are very well made giving them personality of their own.
Enjoyment : 8/10 - The enjoyment is very good, the sex and ecchi scenes you can tell they are not mere fanservice they get your feelings and attachments to each character on a different level not seen in many series, with Holy Knight you can really peak on how you feel about the series or a character in specific.
All in all this is a great series, makes you look forward for the next chapter, thanks to this new level of emotional involvement you kind of hold your breath through a chapter and it feels like you only let the air go when you read the next chapter, mainly thanks to the sex scenes? Maybe, but that's still an amazing series that would still be amazing without them, but you reach a whole new level thanks to them since most series fail to approach this style.

Ruler of the Land is quite old, and when you look at the art reminds me of Hajime no Ippo for it's old-like art, that you can really tell the difference from it and more recent mangas or manhwas for this matter. It can also resemble the story of Dragon Ball, because the main character doesn't have a real goal in life like many other mangas focus on, so the story is almost like a monogatari style if you look at it, but the hilarious comedy kind of rules that off.
As I said just now the story is basically the main characters Han Bi Kwang
...
story from some point in time and his development in the world of Murim (Martial Arts World) which he seems to have no interest on, he is basically your next door pervert with his only goal to get a pretty woman for himself and settle down, but fates and bloodlines in the world of Martial Arts won't let this genius and stupid protagonist go in peace. In general the story will follow Han Bi Kwang as story unrolls, in a very hilarious way, sometimes you will simply read a chapter again and again and you will laugh your heart out each and every time. Story : 8/10 - Like Hajime no Ippo and Dragon Ball the authors aren't afraid of showing a lot more ecchi than others, not in a sexual way simply, but making the comedy simply brilliant that will make you feel like nothing else can make you feel bad the day you read Ruler of the Land.
The art is obviously old, since it has been almost 20 years Ruler of the Land started publishing, but it is still really good, only yesterday I started reading a new series which the art might as well had been done by an 6-year old, so don't let this series go because it's art is oldschool-like, I bet you haven't seen art quite like it before. Fight scenes are outstanding, scenery destruction and ground breaking are quite normal here and you will see it a lot, doublepages for the fight scenes are used more than a lot, which makes special attacks and huge swords and blades really amazing. Ecchi scenes are really well made, as said before they make the story hillarious. Art : 7/10 - It's old so i won't give more, but had it been made more recently undoubtlly it would be 10/10.
The characters are very well made and no matter how serious a character is in this series you WILL at some point in time, in this series, laugh your guts out with each and everyone of them specially with our main character Bi-Kwang and the way he is either perverted or sarcastic with the other characters. Character : 8/10 - there isn't much work in the characters as in their mind and way of thinking, the world is split basically in black force and white force, and people in each force hate the counterpart, our only variable would be the main character who just couldn't care less.
The enjoyment is outstanding, you will laugh like you most likely only did when you watched Dragon Ball (uncensored cuz TV screwed with an amazing series) and reading Hajime no Ippo. So far we have around 260 chapters, and in my opinion even if we reach 1000 like Hajime no Ippo, Ruler of the Land is worth reading a hundred times over and the comedy won't get old enough or tiring. Enjoyment : 10/10
In Overall : 8/10 - This series is really old-school in my opinion, I can spare fingers in my hand if i try to count how many "new" series made me laugh like this one and other rather old ones did. The story has an inner plot deep inside, but it isn't the main focus here. Mangas are far more vast in numbers than Manhwas, and Manhwas usually surprise us with it's different "logic" that mangas have, this one specifically will surprise you in ways that you have to re-start a chapter you were reading because you started to laugh for 10 minutes halfway through the chapter. More than worth reading over and over and supporting.

If you are reading this story you probably also read Immortal Regis first, don't make the same mistake i did that took me three chapters from Cavalier of the Abyss until i realised there was a prequel for this. But even after reading Immortal Regis and then RE-starting my reading of Cavalier of the Abyss ( let's call COA to make my writing easier) i still felt uneasy like: "is this really a sequel" or " i think this Ga On-bi author guy is screwing with us" because obviously the story has a HUGE year gap that WILL mess with your head, but don't worry,
...
and please don't stop reading the story because when you reach chapter 41 that gap will be filled immensely and you will find yourself craving for this gap in time being filled more and more like you crave for dinner on a day you didn't have lunch, I don't know if the author had this idea when he wrote COA or if it was an accident, but let me call this a beautiful accident, because it will make you wait for the next chapter like nothing else on the week matter. So in overall the story is simply amazing in that way, because it gets your blood pumping and goosebumps from head to toe when you find out stuff that happened in that gap in time.
The art hasn't changed much from Immortal Regis, but the improvement is still noticeable, COA stands in that fine line that separates awesome and cute.
The characters are well made and each and everyone has an personality of their own, all the characters seem like they are main characters because of that, it's like anything can happen like the story got it's own life and the wheel starts spinning randomly and you don't know what will happen next. For example you are in a chapter and everythings is fine, and a few chapters next you find a character that looked really "main-character-like" dying or something else. It's like the characters are alive and the future of the story is a true mistery. Its amazing that way.
The enjoyment is simply amazing, you don't know what is going to happen but you wanna find out. The fight scenes are simply incredible lets thank JUDER for that, even the more ecchi scenes ( thank you JUDER-sensei), the characters each have their own vibe simply from the art, Jae Hyuk(Nex) really gives that vibe of "amazing above all" from the first time you set eyes on him, and everytime you look at him you will think: "that is a king-like character".
All in all Thank you Ga On-bi the story is simply a masterpiece and thats something that should only be said after the series is over, but it gives you that feeling as you read. In general when you look at the genre of this series you find: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Supernatural. but in truth there should also be: Tragedy, Romance, Ecchi, Mystery, Martial Arts and even (a little haha) Comedy. The story is unpredictable, characters have their own life and minds, and there are times you don't know who is the protagonist anymore. The art is Outstanding from the actions scenes to simply the "look" of the characters, it leaves you speechless. I fell in love with the whole series from Immortal Regis to Cavalier of the Abyss its worth reading again and again a hundred times over. Cavalier still hasn't ended but i still find myself re-reading from Immortal Regis and COA all over while i wait for the next chapters, COA since it is still on-going "gets" you that way. In my opinion we are looking at a masterpiece in development.
