It's such a shame that I only recently knew this manga after reading Kuroshitsuji. I'm quite picky, and I hate to read a manga only to hate it afterwards. Thus, after reading some recommendations of several mangas with similar story with Kuroshitsuji, I decided to read Godchild.
And it's friggin' AWESOME.
Story (9/10):
Well, the story could just hit the perfect 10 only if it didn't move at such a fast pace. It depends on personal taste, but I wished it could go slower so I could get more of the story of its fabulous characters. However, it's still faraway better than the average story. Its tragic, heart-wrenching
...
story was conveyed in such a 'humanly' way that showed us both the ugly and beautiful side of human nature.
Art (10/10):
It's gorgeous! The character design matched perfectly with their personalities, and since the setting of the story was the Victorian Era, the detailed artwork is just a big win!
Character (10/10):
Actually, the best thing about this manga is its characters. Each chapters brought us different cases originated from the ugliness of human; the culprits were sick-minded and almost inhuman, but somehow it's as if we could understand the reason behind their acts.
And the main character, Cain C. Hargreaves is one of the best characters ever made. His flawless personality is so humanly possible, and his relationship with Riff is simply the most well-developed master-servant relationship I've ever saw.
Enjoyment (10/10):
Yes, you will enjoy every chapter of this manga because every character was carefully built, and every plot twists would just make you feel excited to know what would happen next.
Overall (10/10):
Godchild is one of the best manga out there and I still couldn't believe how long it took me to find this manga. I would recommend this manga to anyone who wished to read a heart-wrenching drama with a thick plot and gorgeous artwork. But, don't blame me if after reading this you wished that this manga could've gone longer :D
