Review: Already by the art style, you can tell that Dragon Knights is an interesting read.  However, this fantasy manga has some negative and positive aspects of it.  First of all, let me go over a little bit of what it's about.  This manga tells the tale of three Dragon Knights named Rath, Thatz, and Rune.  They travel on adventures that are often humorous and gory.  Overall, the art style is excellent, especially the eyes tend to have a twinkle of uniquenessthat'll attract anyone with a passion for manga.  Even though the eye style may seem brilliant, it's too repetitive.  Too many characters have the same eye style which can be tiresome at times.  The appearance of characters is somewhat repetitive.  There are different types of beings such as demons, elves and humans in this manga.  However, there are only slight differences in elves and humans which can be confusing at times.  Demons are obviously different from the rest, but careful when identifying characters.  The humor is awesome!  If you enjoy laughing your head off, I highly recommend this series.  There is also some gory action that can be entertaining as well.  Each character has his or her own individual qualities that attract readers.  So far, there are some hints of upcoming romance, but it's still in the air if their will be any real couples.  A must read for those who enjoy a manga that has bits of almost every genre.
